STONE SINKS AND COUNTERTOP
The sinks and countertops are made of marble with a satin
finish and are machined by industrial processes and finished by
hand. Once finished, we apply a specific product to enhance the
characteristics of the material and protect it from external agents.
SHELVES
The wooden shelves are made of phenolic, water-repellent
plywood, made solid with American walnut and entirely veneered
with American walnut.
All the furniture is varnished with acrylic materials resistant to
light (not yellowing).
The manufacture of L'AC's furniture is a complex process that
combines technology with craftsmanship. From the time spent in
the making, 10% corresponds to an automated process and the
remaining 90% is a manual process.
SHELF MIRROR
The glass is made of 4 mm tempered glass with polished edges.
To hang the mirror, the straight hanger with screw and eyelets is
used to hang it on the wall.
MAINTENANCE
The maintenance is important in order to remove dirt, stains that
might have penetrated slightly, acid attacks, to renew the shine of
the material, etc. A correct maintenance guarantees the material
will last longer.
Maintenance of the stone is simple, but it is a necessary step for
its care. As a general rule, the best product for cleaning natural
stone is water. To avoid the build-up of limescale, minerals and
other residues or chemicals that can affect the surface of the
stone, rinse the stone with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Neutral PH detergents can also be used, although specialized
cleaners provide the best balance between cleaning and stone
care.
NATURAL STONE
Because of use, the surface of a sink is one of the areas which
suffers higher stress. At home, for example, despite frequent
cleaning, halos and blemishes can appear due to constant contact
with other substances, and also limescale, which is caused by
continuous contact with water.
For the maintenance of natural stone L'Antic Colonial
recommends: FILACLEANER.
It is a concentrated neutral detergent. It cleans without attacking
the material, ideal for ordinary maintenance
Aggressive chemicals such as bleach, acid-based degreasers,
ammonia, lime descalers, etc. should be avoided. It is important
that in the case of spillage of any of the above products, they
should be cleaned as soon as possible using a cloth or absorbent
paper. This will make it easier to remove the stain later.
L'Antic Colonial protects all its stones with BIOPROT which is a
waterproofing hydro and repellent oil that improves the properties
of natural stone in terms of resistance to stains. In addition, the
Bioprot process radically reduces the appearance of bacteria on
the natural stone surface.
A very common question is how often a natural stone product
must be resealed, this will depend on the type of stone, the
surface finish and the use the product receives. Heavily used
surfaces should be sealed annually for optimum protection, if the
above maintenance recommendations have been followed.
If you are not sure if you need to reseal your product, place a
few drops of water on the surface and leave them 15 minutes,

if the water darkens the stone is that it has absorbed, then it is
time to re-protect.
For a new protection, L'Antic Colonial recommends:
1. PROTECTING AND REVITALIZING THE COLOR OF THE
STONE: FILA STONE PLUS. It's an anti-stain with a color
revitalizing effect. It increases the resistance to stains of
the material, enhancing the color.
2. PROTECTING WHILE RESPECTING THE
COLOR OF THE STONE: FILA FOB. It increases the anti-
stain performance of the material without altering its
appearance.
In the case of having to act against some stain, it is important to
identify the origin in order to choose the ideal cleanser, L'Antic
Colonial recommends the following:
• FILA PS87: Degreaser, stain remover and paint stripper.
Cleans and degreases. Ideal for stone cleaning. Removes
organic stains. Easy to use.
• FILA SR95: Color stain remover. It can even be used on very
delicate materials such as bright polished marble while
fully respecting the brightness of the material. Effective
against colored organic stains (wine, coffee, beverages...)
• FILAMARBLE RESTORER: it is a marble saving kit. The
kit contains 3 metal pads with different granulometry, a
white polishing sponge, a shine recoverer and a nourishing
cream. It is ideal for the recovery of small surfaces in
marble, travertine and limestone that have been attacked
by acidic substances or atmospheric agents. It also
eliminates nuances caused by wear and tear.
SHELF WOOD
Dust with a soft cloth at least twice a week. Furniture should
never be exposed to excessive contact with water or with
extremely high moisture, therefore make sure that the bathroom
has proper ventilation. If water spills on the surface, simply use
a dry cloth as soon as possible to prevent moisture penetration.
Frequent cleaning is desirable to prevent dirt build-up. Regarding
grease stains, these can easily be removed with acetone.
Please bear in mind not to use abrasive soaps, steel scouring pads,
wax or polishing products for cleaning and maintenance. Ideally,
use a biodegradable cleaner that leaves no residue and does not
require rinsing after application.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight for long periods of time. During
peak sunlight hours, use curtains or blinds to minimize direct
sunlight.
We recommend Rmc Surface Care 750 mL for the cleaning of
varnished wood stains.
Before applying, read carefully the instructions for use of each
respective cleaner.
STEEL STRUCTURE
Steel with a black finish is distinguished by its high resistance to
impact and scratches, as well as corrosion protection. No special
care is required, but it is important not to use abrasive materials
or solvents. We recommend wiping the surfaces with a soft cloth,
if necessary, with hot water and subsequent drying.
GLASS AND MIRRORS
Use a feather duster to remove the dust on the surface and then
use a cloth moistened with a little water. It is important to dry the
mirror well, especially its edges, to avoid small drops of water that
could damage the mirror.
Avoid using acid or alkaline products that may attack the surface
of the mirror, its edges and even the protective platex. The
use of products containing ammonia, chlorine or bleach is not
recommended either.

MEASURES TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE:
Do not use steamers for cleaning your cabinets, as the water
vapor pressure penetrates the materials and can cause serious
damage. Avoid frequent and prolonged water spills, keep
surfaces dry.
Avoid water leaks through the joints of the countertops to the
wall, joints, cutouts, etc. Be sure to seal the joints, always dry the
countertop after use, and periodically check the good condition
NATURAL
of the sealing of the joints.
Changes in room moisture produce contractions and expansions
in the wood elements, prevent or reduce these changes by using
dehumidifiers, ventilation and/or heating.
The ideal conditions consist of keeping a temperature between
20-23°C and a room moisture content between 40%-60%.
As an additional preservation measure, curtains should be placed
or the glass should be protected with UV protection films to
avoid direct contact with sunlight against the material, which
may cause discoloration or deformation
