See real projects and material-specific workflows in action in some of the most beautiful architectural designs.

FILA Solutions Work Book of Projects, your fast, real world guide to keeping surfaces performing. This curated collection of case studies spans hotels, commercial spaces, public buildings, homes and heritage sites. Each story shows the surface, the challenge on site, and the simple clean, protect and maintain steps used to preserve the finish.

If you are designing or writing specs, this workbook turns product names into practical sequences you can apply. See how porcelain, natural stone, terrazzo, concrete and façades were washed after laying, sealed for water and oil resistance, then kept in shape with straightforward maintenance routines. The focus is on breathable, low VOC, water based treatments that protect the intended appearance.

View the Work Book of Projects to see proven methods you can carry into your next design and specification.

the complete catalogue of FILA treatments, is a smart, step by step playbook for architects and specifiers who want surfaces to look right on day one and stay that way. It takes you from pre treatment and washing after laying, through protection and finishing, to everyday and periodic maintenance, so your design intent holds up in use.

What sets it apart is clarity you can drop straight into specs. For each material, stone, agglomerates, porcelain and ceramic, terracotta, concrete, resilient and resin floors, even plaster and paints, you get a simple treatment cycle, what to use, when to use it, indicative coverage and the finish outcome, natural, colour enhancing or wet look. It reinforces correct post installation washing in line with trade standards, so sealing and future cleaning actually work.

There is also a quick What to do if section for real site issues, grout haze, epoxy residues, limescale, oils, inks, mould and rust, each paired with the right cleaner or protector and plain English application notes. It is both a specification aid and a handover guide for the team on site.

Ready to use treatment by material, with coverage guidance for quantities, clear spec friendly sequences, and fast trouble-shooting for issues.

FILA was founded in 1943 as a manufacturer of shoe polish and household cleaners.

Since the 1970s, it has become the trusted partner of all terracotta producers, launching a complete treatment line from detergents to protective waxes.

In 1986, in line with market demands, FILA developed a dedicated line to Natural Stone, from the cleaners to sealers and waxes.  

Since then FILA has continued to listen to the needs of the market by launching distinctive products such as the DETERDEK professional cleaner at the beginning of the 90s or the very famous SALVATERRAZZA consolidator in 2008.

Today FILA is investing in sustainability with cleaners with up to 98% biodegradable ingredients and water-based sealers, thus for safe performance for people and the environment.
