{"product_id":"lithofin-tc-ever-sheen","title":"Lithofin TC Ever-Sheen","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour terracotta kitchen floor has lost the warm, burnt-orange tone you loved on installation. Traffic, washing and UV have drawn the colour out, leaving a pale, dusty look. Ever-Sheen restores that depth and keeps the pores protected in a single, ready-to-use coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Ever-Sheen Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver-Sheen is a neutral enhancement coating for porous cotto and terracotta. The acrylic microfilm sits at 2-3 µm thickness, penetrating to 0.5 mm and hardening in 24 h. It deepens colour by up to 35 % reflectance, raises water-repellency to a 98° contact angle and dries slip-resistant because the pH-7 binder leaves no waxy layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew cotto in a kitchen, first treatment after grouting - Ready to use, 70 ml\/m² (\u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/problem-cement-residue\"\u003ecement residue\u003c\/a\u003e removed first).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeather-faded terracotta patio slabs - Ready to use, 60 ml\/m² (\u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/problem-outdoor-cleaning\"\u003eoutdoor cleaning\u003c\/a\u003e done 24 h earlier).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterior cotto hallway needing colour refresh every 2 y - Ready to use, 50 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-porosity clinker steps that require a satin finish - Ready to use, 40 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean the surface with Lithofin KF Intensive Cleaner, rinse twice and let dry 12 h.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePour Ever-Sheen into a paint tray and load a lambswool applicator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpread a thin, even film (50-90 ml\/m²) in straight passes; avoid pooling.
