Rugs

How do I take care off my rug?

Boucherouite rugs have the advantage of being washable with soap and water. Although it is true that domestic washing machines normally do not support so much weight of a wet rug, there are laundries with industrial machines adapted to this kind of weight. If you decide to hand wash it at home, just make sure that it is well rinsed and dried in the sun very well!

Tiles

Can the tiles be installed outdoors ?

Exterior applications are a bit more complicated. There are several considerations. First and foremost is that the tiles may experience some cracking if installed in an environment with freeze/thaw conditions. If moisture enters the tiles and is frozen (thereby expanding), it can cause micro-cracking of the tile. To prevent this from happening, an experienced installer must do the following: create a moisture barrier in the substrate onto which the tiles are installed, and seal the face of the tiles and joints to prevent any water absorption. A second consideration for outdoor installations is sun exposure. The tile color may diminish with UV exposure, especially with the blue and green pigments. We recommend that tiles installed outdoors be sealed with Fila Hydrorep.
