Cleaning

Cleaning and maintenance procedures: Low-maintenance indoors, it is sufficient to clean the floor with a vacuum cleaner on a regular basis. Stains such as coffee, copier toner and ink colors are easy to remove. In case of heavy soiling, the floors can be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner. In outdoor areas with water, brush or high-pressure cleaner with flat jet (no dirt miller). Distance from the nozzle to the floor at least 10 cm.

Substrate

Any solid, load-bearing substrate such as concrete, screed, asphalt, stone, tile, marble is suitable. In the interior also on wood and chipboard. On soft and yielding substrates, such as thermal insulation or cork, installation in self-supporting thickness (approx. 15-18 mm) is possible.

Stone carpet in office areas

The Risto stone granulate floor in its normal, open-pored state is not suitable for withstanding the load of chair castors in the long term. To solve this problem, there are two possible solutions. 

1. office chair pads for hard floors, which are available from specialist dealers, are used in the relevant areas. These will protect the stone granule floor from the wear and damage caused by continuous chair castor use. 

2. the corresponding areas are sealed with epoxy pore sealant. This closes the pores of the stone granule floor and makes it durable enough to withstand continuous chair castor use. 

Furthermore, the surfaces do not stain as much and liquids can no longer seep into the subfloor. This also changes the surface texture of the stone granule flooring in terms of slip resistance and appearance.
