FILA has completed a project, with Stone and Ceramic, at The Star and Garter on Richmond Hill.  The collection of luxury apartments and penthouses, by award-winning developer London Square, occupies a ‘show stopping’ Grade II listed building overlooking the Thames. FILAPROJECT provided a surface cleaning regime for Stone and Ceramic’s installation of marble flooring and wall surfaces, throughout bathrooms, master ensuites, hallways and living spaces.

Once the site of a fashionable hotel, with guests including Charles Dickens, The Star and Garter building was designed by Sir Edwin Cooper for The Royal Star & Garter Home charity for servicemen injured in the First World War. The landmark building was sold by the charity to London Square in 2013. The meticulous restoration and conversion into 86 residences has received multiple awards, including two top accolades in the Evening Standard New Homes Awards. 

Stone and Ceramic’s installation included exquisite honed and polished marble tiles and mosaics – from floors, skirtings and features, to walls, sills and vanity units – throughout the magnificent apartments.  FILAPROJECT’s specification included four treatments from its cleaning range: concentrated acid detergent, DETERDEK PRO, with its safe, buffered formulation; alkaline deep cleaner, PS87 PRO; organic stain remover, SR95 and universal CLEANER PRO.  All treatments provided high performance whilst safe-guarding the natural characteristics of the fine marble surfaces.
