why terracotta floors are prone to damage and how to prevent it

terracotta floors are susceptible to stains and damage

Terracotta floors are a favoured choice due to their inviting appearance and genuine charm. However, the porous nature of terracotta renders these floors particularly vulnerable to stains and wear. Liquids such as water, oil, and grease can easily seep into the surface, resulting in persistent stains and challenging grime to remove. Additionally, dirt and sand can cause scratches, especially in high-traffic areas. Without appropriate protection, terracotta floors quickly lose their original beauty and become more difficult to maintain. These floors tend to absorb moisture, which can lead to mould growth and structural issues. Therefore, it is essential to safeguard these surfaces with an effective sealant that is both oil- and water-repellent.
