servizi — Firenze · Toscana
In Florence, where the terracotta tiles laid in courtyards, on terraces and in historic homes tell centuries of Tuscan craftsmanship, there is a shop on Via Mannelli that has safeguarded this knowledge since 1958, keeping it alive through specialised products, precise advice, and the patience to explain every step to those who want to do it themselves.
Every floor has its own history and its own needs: freshly laid cotto (terracotta tile) calls for a different treatment than one marked by years of wear, terrazzo is not cared for like marble, and pietra serena (grey sandstone) is not like travertine. On Via Mannelli, the work begins with a precise diagnosis of the material and the choice of the most suitable treatment, even before a bottle is opened.
Staff explain patiently and in plain language, as if noting down a restoration protocol: which product to apply first, how to dilute it, how long to wait between coats, what to avoid. Those who come in for advice leave with the complete instructions to carry out the work themselves, confident they will not go wrong.
The range covers both domestic and industrial uses: waxes, restorers, stain-removers and cleaners for every type of stone surface, from an apartment floor to an outdoor terrace exposed to the seasons. These are products formulated for traditional Tuscan materials — cotto, stone, terrazzo, marble — designed to restore each surface to its original appearance without altering its nature.
Since 1958, a Florentine address for those who want to care for their floors with the same attention with which they were laid. The full page is just a click away.
