Whether this is done through email, video calls, or an actual visit on-site, we\u2019ll walk you through the process &#8211; no strings attached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28905 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294360836_7588379894565765_765308150059709215_n-1024x717.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294360836_7588379894565765_765308150059709215_n-1024x717.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294360836_7588379894565765_765308150059709215_n-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294360836_7588379894565765_765308150059709215_n-768x538.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294360836_7588379894565765_765308150059709215_n.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Project-specific method statements<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At FILA, we have an excellent knowledge of stone, and our products are recommended at the factory level. We also know how to get the best out of any installation and the right treatments to use, depending on the specific stone and its location. Our custom method statements are also a major advantage, and these important documents outline the way in which FILA products should be used and when. So whether a stone sealer or a pH-neutral cleaner is needed, you\u2019ll find the steps easy to follow to ensure every surface stands up to its job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. We are committed to a sustainable future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an industry, there has been a major shift from a sustainability angle. Nowadays, projects are demanding more certification in terms of VOC levels and sustainability too. Realistically, we can only meet targets like this if manufacturing changes as well, and we\u2019re happy to say that we are right where we want to be. At FILA, we\u2019re embracing this change; after all, it\u2019s for our environment &#8211; plant-based products deserve special attention as well. Our R&amp;D team have made sure that 80% of our products are now water-based and concentrated to optimise packaging and reduce water. As a company, we\u2019re also moving in the right direction to reduce our carbon footprint and aim to be carbon neutral by 2040.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignundefined wp-image-28898 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294471392_7588377757899312_5886511930079222203_n.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294471392_7588377757899312_5886511930079222203_n.png 1200w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294471392_7588377757899312_5886511930079222203_n-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294471392_7588377757899312_5886511930079222203_n-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/294471392_7588377757899312_5886511930079222203_n-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. We&#8217;re transforming to meet industry needs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a great surface protection partner requires a team with a continual transformation mindset. How contractors make their purchase decisions evolves all the time; what worked last year might not necessarily work now. For this reason, we invest in tomorrow and are always looking ahead. For us, it\u2019s imperative our clients have the advantage when it comes to their projects. Not everyone is shifting this way, but we certainly are. From our point of view, it\u2019s about advising on the new technologies that are coming through.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.

So whether it\u2019s a face-to-face visit or a golf networking event, we\u2019re here to help you drive your goals every step of the way.
