My friend has bought a house & this is her front porch/hall.
Was wondering how I can get this floor back looking good?
Any advice from the Pros about this, much appreciated.

It looks good from here.... albeit a bit like writing and white background..... :lol:

Could do with a good colour intensifier......

 

[Stef]

Would I have to strip a very fine layer off the top with a polishing machine then polish the surface back up before I put a colour intensifier on it?

 

[WetSaw]

You missed my splendid attempt at sarcasm Stef..........I can't see any pictures!!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

The issue I see with this floor is - there is NO picture!

Don't cut it stef, stripp it back with stripping agents, may have old oils in, if not deep clean , I use our wexa.leave 4-5 days to fully release all moisture, Seal with a suitable Impregnator, I use our KF.
These look stunning as there were intended , you can put intensifiers and waxes on but they are a good hard wearing low maintenance tile natural as they were produced. Stunning floor should come up great

Cheers Bob that's fantastic, think I've still got a tin of wexa in the van.
What's KF?

 

[Lithofin BOB]

Our kf stain stop for unglazed ceramics, will leave the tiles as they are but water and oil reppelant. try a small test with the wexa dilute 1-3 white pad and scrubbing brush- 5-8 min scrub every min and then rinse, if goes patchy ,you may have old oils present so may then need to test stripping agent .

Cheers Bob, will give it a bash.
Won't be doing it for a little while but thanks for the advice..

Bob/TJ........do you use a polisher with an Brillo pad kind of pads to give a deep scrub?

 

[Lithofin BOB]

Hi cj, let your chemical cleaners do the work, but aid them with a white scotch brite,emulsifying pad,used by hand or under a rotary. Scrubbing brush into the grout joints if there.
