Mounting Instruction
Usage
According to the information in this use and maintenance manual on FixCrete®, we recommend that you follow these instructions to
ensure a long-lasting product life
• avoid contact of sharp and hard objects with the concrete surface; while cutting, chopping etc. always use suitable wooden or
plastic pads
• do not directly expose the surface to high temperatures (hot pots without a pad etc.)
• while working with soft metals such as tin, lead and aluminum make sure not to scratch them with concrete and thus leave marks
on its surface
• while spilling undesirable liquids to the concrete surface, especially acids (vinegar, lemon juice, wine), strong hydroxides and other
aggressive substances, remove them immediately with a damp cloth or sponge
• use a suitable soap dispenser – a wall mounted soap dispenser or a dispenser on legs with a distance from the concrete surface;
thanks to this, moisture does not remain between the concrete surface and the container (long-term exposure to soapy water
may damage the protection layer)
• in case of washbasins located outdoors, do not cover them with any sheet even during winter; moisture that non-invasively
penetrates the surface needs a space to evaporate
Cleaning
Rinse and gently wash the basin with a soft cloth or a soft sponge with mild detergent (e.g. degreasing agent). Never use any
scourers, rough sponges, abrasives or chemical cleaners (thinners, limescale removers, hydroxide-based detergents etc.) to clean the
surface.
For surface polishing use a damp cloth and you can apply small amounts of alcohol-based polish.
Repairs and refurbishments
Due to use, FixCrete® elements with a surface treatment can wear out at exposed areas. Scratches, micro rifts and pigment surface
changes may occur, especially if the recommendations are not followed.
Some of these defects can be removed or retouched, always discuss such cases with the manufacturer directly. Larger mechanical
damages, such as broken parts, can also be repaired. However, the retouching affects the final form of the washbasin and the original
look cannot be guaranteed.
Regular maintenance of the surface can be performed using the original "Service Kit SAT" service preparation which helps to keep
the look of the surface finish by means of nano-impregnation paste. Instructions for use are included in the "Service Kit SAT"
packaging which can be purchased from the manufacturer.
