FILA surface treatments have been specified by Stone & Ceramic for its most extensive project to date – 190 Strand. The flagship development by St Edward includes a collection of bespoke suites, penthouses and apartments set in London’s cultural heartland. FILAPROJECT worked alongside Stone & Ceramic to provide ‘initial clean’ and maintenance solutions for the multiple tile designs specified, including a dramatic stone feature wall within the development’s private spa complex.
Situated within Westminster’s world-famous ‘Strand’, the development spans six iconic buildings, designed by Grid Architects and set within a private, landscaped square. Natural stone and porcelain surfaces feature throughout luxurious kitchens and bathrooms, and residents’ business and leisure suites. Stone & Ceramic’s installation includes mosaics and porcelain tiles for the stunning pool surround and stone for the imposing 70sq m feature wall. A variety of porcelain and natural surfaces were also installed throughout ‘The Colonnade’ business centre, including a five-metre long stone feature desk.
Working alongside Stone & Ceramic, FILAPROJECT recommended a range of treatments for the different surfaces and their specific locations. They included concentrated acid detergent, FILA Deterdek, which has a safe, buffered formulation; degreasing and stain removing FILAPS87; universal, ph-neutral FILACLEANER; organic stain remover, FILASR95, and water-based gel cleaner, FILANOPAINT STAR. All treatments provided high performance whilst safe-guarding the surface characteristics.
Fila solutions are recommended by over 220 leading tile brands. For more information, please contact Fila UK on tel. 01584 877286, email filauk@filasolutions.com or visit filasolutions.com.
