FILA SURFACE CARE REGIME SPECIFIED ALONGSIDE
PORCELANOSA Porcelanosa has specified FILA’s award-winning surface care regime for all of its new build projects. As part of the National Housebuilder specification, Fila Deterdek will be used to clean all Porcelanosa kitchen and bathroom surfaces prior to handover.

FOR BIM Solus Ceramics, suppliers of commercial wall and floor tiles, has launched new Building Information Modelling (BIM) files across 17 of its ranges.
Working with BIMobject, the easily accessible data provides essential technical information on a tile’s aesthetics, properties, physical characteristics, and visualisation and functional data.
The information on all 17 tile ranges will feature on Solus Ceramics’ website, allowing architects and specifiers to simply incorporate them into any design and build project. The objects, which can be downloaded in a variety of formats including Revit, ArchiCad, AutoCAD and Sketchup, include some of Solus Ceramics’ most popular tile ranges, such as

varying projects, it was imperative that we made this information readily accessible to those architects and specifiers who need it. By working closely with BIMobject, we were not only fully prepared for the Government’s mandate to have all centrally-funded construction projects undertaken using BIM level 2, but we’re doing all we can to help simplify the design process.”

stoneware, and porcelain wall and floor tiles - in an extensive variety of formats and finishes – and its portfolio is renowned for its high-tech properties, innovative design and quality.
On completion of tile installations, FILA Deterdek will be used to remove all grout and adhesive fixing residues from the Porcelanosa surfaces, and to provide a deep clean. Unlike traditional hydrochloric cleaners, FILA Deterdek
is a non-corrosive, ‘buffered’ acid, so it doesn’t emit harmful fumes or erode aluminium or steel. Other FILA solutions recommended, as part of a complete care system, include: pH- neutral FILA Cleaner; multi-purpose spray detergent, FILA Brio; limescale remover, FILAVIA Bagno; grout protector, FILA Fugaproof and active mould remover, FILA Active One.
