La protezione di Fila per la pietra della Masseria Secolario

🏠 Masseria Secolario, situated in Palmariggi near Otranto, is set within a 70-hectare park of ancient olive trees and embodies the local culture through its Lecce stone construction. Fila's Hydrorep and Fob Xtreme products are used to protect stone surfaces from water and humidity without altering their aesthetic, providing hydro-oil repellent protection. Interior stone surfaces benefit from Fob Xtreme and MATT, a protective natural finish. For optimal cleaning, PS87 PRO diluted 1:5, and for regular maintenance, CLEANER PRO, are recommended; both cleaners are biodegradable. MATT finish can be reapplied as needed to maintain surface protection.
