The multi-award winning Library of Birmingham<\/a>, the biggest public building of its kind in Europe, was treated with FILA protection and care systems<\/strong>. Thanks to FILACLEANER<\/a> (pH neutral detergent) and FILAW68<\/a> (eco-friendly stain protector) over 1,800 m\u00b2 of slate<\/strong> installed throughout the ground floor of the library and adjacent theatre were cleaned and protected.<\/p>\n

\"library<\/a>This important prestigious building recently won the 2014 TTA AWARD \u201cBest Use of Tile in a Commercial Contract\u201d<\/a>, thanks also to the perfect treatment system carried out using FILA products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Designed by the Dutch architects Mecanoo, the Library of Birmingham is a postmodern hi-tech building covering 10 floors that houses one million books, including a copy of Shakespeare\u2019s \u201cFirst Folio\u201d, the first publication of the works by the famous playwright. A project costing 189 million pounds (over 23 million euros) which has already had one and half million visitors since its inauguration in September 2013.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian slate<\/strong> slabs were laid by W.B. Simpson & Sons in the Midlands. After installation, FILACLEANER<\/a> concentrated neutral detergent was used for cleaning, specific for delicate natural stone like slate. The surface was then treated with FILAW68<\/a>, a water-based, eco-friendly stain protector ideal for porous surfaces<\/strong>, which does not form any surface film and protects the material without altering its natural appearance.
\nFILACLEANER was then specified for everyday cleaning.<\/p>\n

Both products are from the \u201cFILA GREEN LINE<\/a>\u201d, the FILA eco-friendly products<\/strong> that respect the environment thanks to their very low level of VOC emissions<\/strong>. This line won the 2014 TTA AWARD for the \u201cBest Environmental Initiative\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n
