Cleaning and maintenance of slabs

CLEANING

IN THE EVENT OF PARTICULAR AND/OR STUBBORN STAINS, THE USE OF SPECIFIC (PREFERABLY NEUTRAL) DETERGENTS IS RECOMMENDED. TO PREVENT SCRATCHING OR DULLING, THE POLISHED SURFACES MUST ONLY BE CLEANED USING NON-ABRASIVE EQUIPMENT. FOR CORRECT ACID WASHING OF POLISHED SURFACES, USE ONLY A BUFFERED ACID DILUTED IN WATER, AT HALF THE ACID CONCENTRATION RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS ALSO FUNDAMENTAL TO REDUCE THE SLABACID CONTACT PHASE, IMMEDIATELY RINSING WITH PLENTY OF WATER AFTER CLEANING.

COMPARED TO SOME TYPES OF STAIN, PALE COLOURED OR DEEP BLACK SLABS OF ANY KIND OF SURFACE ARE MORE SENSITIVE, AND TO ENSURE COMPLETE AND CORRECT CLEANING THEY REQUIRE PROMPT, CAREFUL MAINTENANCE. FOR ALL COLOURS AND PARTICULARLY WHITE AND LIGHT SHADES, THE FIRST CLEANING AFTER INSTALLATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ANY GROUT OR GLUE RESIDUES.

PRECAUTIONS

FOR USE

PREVENT ACCIDENTAL KNOCKS BOTH NEAR EDGES AND CORNERS (WHATEVER THE CHOSEN FINISH) AND ON THE WORK TOP SURFACE;

AVOID PARTICULARLY HEAVY POINT LOADS ON THE WORK TOP, ABOVE ALL NEAR ANY OVERHANGING PARTS. SPECIFICALLY, DO NOT STAND ON THE WORK TOP FOR ANY REASON, TO AVOID CONCENTRATING THE WEIGHT OF A PERSON ON A LIMITED SURFACE AREA

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE MATERIALS TO CLEAN THE WORK TOP;

DO NOT USE CERAMIC KNIVES DIRECTLY ON THE WORK TOP. THE USE OF STEEL KNIVES IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE WORK TOP MUST ALSO BE AVOIDED, ABOVE ALL WITH POLISHED FINISHES;

THE USE OF CHOPPING BOARDS IS RECOMMENDED, ABOVE ALL WITH WORK TOPS WITH POLISHED FINISHES;

THE USE OF TRIVETS IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT OBJECTS (E.G. PANS, COFFEE POTS, ETC.).

AVOID PROLONGED CONTACT BETWEEN THE WORK TOP SURFACE AND HIGHLY CONCENTRATED CLEANING PRODUCTS (WITH BOTH VERY LOW AND VERY HIGH PH). THESE PRECAUTIONS ARE VALID GENERALLY AND EVEN MORE SO FOR WORK TOPS WITH POLISHED SURFACE FINISH.

FIBREGLASS MESH

MIRAGE 12 MM THICK SLABS ARE INTEGRATED WITH A FIBREGLASS MAT WHICH IS APPLIED DURING AN AUTOMATED INDUSTRIAL PROCESS. THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL OBTAINED OFFER SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AND ADVANTAGES TO THE ORIGINAL SLAB.

ADVANTAGES

Increased mechanical strength and impact-resistance.
Increased resistance of the machined piece during subsequent handling.
Increased slab machinability: cutting, drilling, etc.
Performs a safety function as it holds the pieces together in the event of breakage.
