Every porcelain installation presents an opportunity for retailers to add value beyond the tile itself. By recommending the right care products at the right stage of the installation, retailers can support both their trade customers and homeowners, while creating valuable additional sales opportunities.
For more than 70 years, Lithofin has developed specialist solutions designed to support every stage of the installation process and beyond. Built around the simple principles of Clean, Protect and Maintain, Lithofin says its Stone Care System gives retailers a straightforward product offering that’s easy to recommend and easy for customers to understand.
The first stage is cleaning. Before grouting, porcelain surfaces usually require a thorough clean to remove site dust and adhesive residues. Lithofin KF Intensive Cleaner has been developed specifically for this professional stage of the installation. Suitable for polished and unglazed porcelain and ceramics, it quickly removes stubborn dirt, grease, and installation residues, making it a suitable recommendation for tilers looking to achieve a high-quality finish on every project.

Once grouting has been completed, a second clean with Lithofin KF Cement Residue Remover removes residual grout film and installation debris, leaving the surface, ready for a protective treatment.

The next stage is protection. Applying an impregnator before handover helps minimise staining from oils, grease and everyday contaminants to the tile and grout, while making the surface easier to maintain throughout its lifetime.
Lithofin KF Protective Impregnator is designed for use on suitable porcelain surfaces and grout joints, penetrating the micro-pores to create an invisible barrier without changing the appearance of the tile. It’s an extremely popular choice for tradespeople who understand the importance of protecting porcelain as part of every quality installation, and can also be recommended to homeowners seeking to keep their porcelain in the best possible condition over time.

The final stage is maintenance. Once the installation has been handed over, the responsibility shifts to the homeowner or end user. Providing them with the correct maintenance product from the outset helps preserve the appearance of the porcelain while avoiding the use of unsuitable household cleaners.
Lithofin KF Conditioning Cleaner has been formulated specifically for the routine cleaning of porcelain and ceramic tiles. Its streak-free, concentrated formula cleans and conditions in one operation, making it an easy recommendation for retailers to offer alongside every porcelain installation and an excellent opportunity for repeat business.

By stocking a complete porcelain care system, retailers are able to support both sides of their customer base: professional tradespeople carrying out installations and homeowners looking after their investment. The result is a more complete customer offering, greater confidence in the finished installation, and ongoing opportunities for repeat sales.
