In a recent collaboration, FILA Solutions partnered with Caesar Ceramiche, a distinguished manufacturer known for crafting premium Italian porcelain stoneware, to organise a surface seminar. Hosted by Caesar Ceramiche at the London Urban Lab, nestled in the heart of London's Clerkenwell at 17-18 Great Sutton St, London EC1V 0DP, this collaborative event was designed to equip architects and designers with the knowledge to select the optimal porcelain tiles and surface care products for their projects. With a strong emphasis on green innovations in surface restoration and post-installation cleaning, the event garnered significant attention and positive feedback from attendees.

 

 

The event witnessed a remarkable turnout, with over 60 prospects in attendance, reflecting the industry's keen interest in low-impact solutions. Architects seized the opportunity to engage with Caesar Ceramiche representatives, inquiring about our surface care products' eco-friendly aspects and recyclability. Notably, Martin, FILA's Technical Manager for the UK & Ireland, received a commendation for his presentation, which shed light on our strategic growth and green initiatives.

Martin's presentation delved into various facets of our eco-conscious endeavours, highlighting our commitment to sustainable practices and certifications. Noteworthy points from his presentation include:

Additionally, during his presentation, Martin highlighted the significance of DETERDEK PRO, underscoring its crucial role in surface care and post-installation cleaning. DETERDEK PRO is designed to tackle inorganic dirt, such as grout residues and rust, offering a professional-grade solution for porcelain and ceramic tiles. Its acid and surfactant action ensure thorough cleaning, marking the end of work with impeccable results. By incorporating this buffered acid cleaner into their projects, architects and designers can enhance surfaces' longevity and aesthetic appeal while upholding green principles.

Furthermore, Martin’s presentation highlighted our involvement in prominent projects worldwide, showcasing us as a trusted partner in sustainable surface solutions. From London’s Canary Wharf to Dubai’s Mohammad Bin Rashid Library, our contributions have impacted architectural landscapes, emphasising functionality and environmental responsibility. This commitment to climate-conscious living resonates across borders, solidifying our reputation as a leader in the industry.
