Warnings

Keep for reference: read carefully.

Always remember to be careful not to use the product improperly, considering its designated functions.

When the product is no longer used, do not abandon it, but take it to a suitable public waste collection facility.

Do not place the product in overly damp environments (e.g. saunas) and in direct contact with water (e.g. sea water, chlorinated water, snow).

Do not immerse in tanks and swimming pools, and do not place at the water’s edge.

Oil stains and suncare lotions must be immediately cleaned.

Due to prolonged exposure to direct sun light the surface may become hot to touch. Special attention required.

The surface of table top is treated by an impregnated product which leaves the material air-permeable but protects it instead from water and grease.
The product is resistant to UV radiations and abrasion and prevents degradation caused by freezing/thawing.

To maintain the quality and finish of the surface, it is advisable to use protective articles (e.g. placemats or trivets) under objects that could scratched it.

This product sheet complies with the legal obligations pursuant to the "Consumer Code" Decree n. 206 dated 6/9/2005 and the "Actuation Regulation" Decree n. 101 dated 8/2/1997.

Maintenance

Cement

We recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild detergent and water solution.
Never use alcohol, solvents or abrasive products.
Only in the presence of marks or solidified stains, we recommend cleaning with a slightly abrasive sponge dampend with a mild detergent and water solution.
In case of stains caused by liquids and/or oily substances (e.g. lemon, vinegar, coffee, oil, wine), promptly pat and remove the dirt with an absorbent cloth to prevent it from immediately penetrating into the material.
Then, wipe the entire surface with a cloth dampened with warm water.
Ultra High Performance Concrete contains non-toxic structural polyethylene fibres, which have been added to the cementitious mixture to provide reinforcement.
The presence of these fibres on the surface is a typical characteristic of cement, and therefore must never be considered as a defect, but instead, an indication of quality. To limit this phenomenon, pass an abrasive disk (provided on request) over the fibres that appear on the surface of your cement product.
The particular pattern of the disk captures the fibres and cuts them off at the base.
Please remember, also, that sometimes crazing can occur on the surface of cement.
The growth of tiny surface cracks cannot be considered as a defect because cement is naturally inclined to age in this manner.
Therefore, it would be unrealistic for us to guarantee that this cement product will not form hairline cracks on the surface.
