RECOMMENDATIONS
Why pre-seal with FILA PW10? Back-face pre-seal for moisture-sensitive natural stone and cement tiles helps reduce picture-framing and contaminant rise from the bed. Apply to 5 sides, back only, allow to dry before fixing. Especially important in wet areas and exterior work. Verify compatibility.
Key guidance
- PW10 preseal, 5 sides of the tile or slab. Use FILA PW10 on absorbent, moisture-sensitive stones and cement tiles, especially in wet areas and exterior work. Apply to the back of tiles only. Verify compatibility.
- Acid-sensitive materials, marble, limestone, travertine, onyx, many slates and cement tiles. Use neutral or alkaline cleaners, avoid acids unless explicitly allowed.
- Outdoor, prefer breathable impregnators. Avoid topical polishes outdoors. Confirm falls and drainage with the designer.
