in all cases, applying them will soften the layer of paint so you should wait a minimum of 48 hours before allowing the element to come into contact
with water.
In terms of maintenance, an anti-scalant product in the form of a spray can be used for cleaning shower screens or similar; these products should be applied to the tray and
then rinsed, the use of said products is especially advisable in areas or communities with very hard water.
Remaining stains (other than those that are white)
-
For rust stains, use concentrated vinegar. Cover the stain with the vinegar and let it take effect for 15 minutes, then rub with a cloth until the stain is removed and
rinse with hot water.
-
For other coloured stains, use undiluted bleach or ammonia. Soak a cloth with the product and apply it to the stain. Let the product take effect on the stain, then
clean.
-
If the stain persists, soak a cloth with universal solvent and apply it to the stains. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIAL OR SPONGES. After applying the solvent, wait
48 hours before using.
Due to the texture of the trays, stains are not easy to remove as residue builds in the lower parts of the texture and is difficult to access; but following the steps
mentioned before, it is possible to eliminate almost 100% of known stains. IN ALL CASES, FIORA RECOMMENDS ROUTINE CLEANING WITH SPECIFIC SPRAYS
AND/OR CLEANING PRODUCTS FOR SHOWER SCREENS. AS A RESULT, THE APPEARANCE OF STAINS THAT ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE WILL BE AVOIDED.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SURFACE PREPARATION OF A SILEXPOL® ELEMENT
If a Silexpol® product is damaged due to improper use, there is the possibility of repairing it. Depending on the defect, one of the following options can be used: REPAIR
KIT, SPRAY OR LACQUER.
-
You can request a A REPAIR KIT for small defects, such as small chips or scratches. Simply indicate the colour of your product.
Depending on the colour, you will receive some small containers of paint and catalyst (which needs to be mixed with the paint and dried once applied), together
with a brush and some instructions regarding how to carry out this EASY reparation. The mixing proportions of the products (paint and catalyst) are indicated on
the containers themselves.
It is advisable not to use the repaired product (wash hand basin, shower tray, etc.) during the following 24/48 hours. The result of this process will reach its maximum
hardness within 72 hours.
-
You can request a REPARATION SPRAY (only for solid colours; not valid for products that contain a mix of different colours, such as the Nature finishes) when the
defect is large and effected zones or areas larger than simple chips or isolated scratches. Simply indicate the colour of your product.
This is an aerosol or a spray which is directly applied to the damaged area and which must be shaken before use. In order to achieve a perfect finish and effective
attachment, it is important that the area destined to be painted is cleaned and lightly sanded beforehand.
To keep the spray for future use, clean the diffuser after use and store it upside down. The maximum storage period of the spray is 6 months.
It is advisable not to use the repaired product (wash hand basin, shower tray, etc.) during the following 24/48 hours. The result of this process will reach its maximum
hardness within 72 hours.
You can request LACQUER when the damage is so significant that it affects almost the totality of the item or you wish to change the colour entirely. Simply indicate
-
the colour of your product.
This product consists of two boxes, one of them containing lacquer and the other, which is smaller in size, containing the catalyst (for the colours oro, titanio and
piedra pirineo, two more boxes are included, one with metalface protector and another with its catalyst, a product which should be applied once the paint is dry). In
all cases, the proportions according to which each product should be mixed are indicated.
In order to achieve a perfect finish and effective attachment, it is important that the area destined to be painted is cleaned and lightly sanded beforehand. Once
both components have been vigorously mixed: the paint and its catalyst on one hand, and the metalface and its catalyst on the other (should the colour in question
require metalface), one coat is to be applied using a foam roller preferably until a uniform coating is achieved, repeating the operation without waiting for it to dry.
For repairs of large surfaces in NATURE colours, the repair must be carried out by FIORA BATH COLLECTIONS S.L.U. staff, and depending on the specific case, it
may be necessary to paint the whole surface, but in a NON-NATURE solid colour. NEVER USE SPRAY, as the patina effect would be lost.
It is advisable not to use the repaired product (wash hand basin, shower tray, etc.) during the following 24/48 hours. The result of this process will reach its maximum
hardness within 72 hours.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE
GLOVES AND, IF POSSIBLE, A MASK AS YOU ARE
HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS.
