17 August 2023

We are located in Valfabbrica, a picturesque town located in the province of Perugia, in the enchanting region of Umbria. This charming town offers a mix of cultural, historical and natural attractions that make it an unmissable destination and enjoys a strategic position, being a short distance from the capital of Umbria.

This medieval city is famous for its rich artistic and architectural heritage, including the magnificent Rocca Paolina and the majestic Fontana Maggiore. Perugia offers a fascinating journey through time, through cobbled streets and evocative monuments. But not only.

Its landscapes are enchanting for the eyes: green hills and scenic valleys create a perfect setting for nature lovers and outdoor activities. The area is dotted with nature parks and protected reserves, inviting for authentic and immersive exploration.

Umbrian cuisine is a real gem and Valfabbrica is an integral part of it. Traditional dishes, such as the delicious black truffle, extra virgin olive oil and pecorino cheese, bring together authentic flavors that capture the soul of the region.


The Environmental Challenge: Smog and Contaminated Facades

In the heart of the charming Valfabbrica, a company stands out for its mastery in restoring the natural beauty of travertine facades, blurred by smog and air pollution.

Lineaperta, a specialized service cooperative, has demonstrated its professionalism in an intervention that goes beyond surface cleaning, returning to a facade of condominium its original glory.

The aesthetic appearance of the facades plays a fundamental role in the visual impact of the buildings. Lineaperta understands the importance of preserving the appearance of stone surfaces, especially in a context like Valfabbrica, where smog can blur their natural beauty. The company has set itself the goal of going beyond mere cleaning, offering a complete intervention that reflects professionalism and attention to detail.


A Complete Intervention: Deep Cleaning and Restoration of Travertine

Facing this challenge with determination, Lineaperta has used their know-how to return the original appearance to a travertine facade in Valfabbrica. The use of specialized products has been crucial in this process.

The cleaning phase was carried out using PULITORE FC and the MARBEC BROWN BUFFER, ensuring a deep and thorough cleaning of the travertine facade. This fundamental step allowed to remove the layer of smog, dust and dirt that had obscured the travertine surface.

Subsequently, the stone was micro-polished to return to the facade its original appearance, as if it had just been installed. This detailed restoration demonstrates Lineaperta’s commitment to delivering uncompromising high quality results.


Treatment with SILOX6

To preserve the beauty restored over time, Lineaperta has applied the water repellent product Marbec SILOX6. This treatment not only protects the material from future smog contamination, but also makes it self-cleaning, helping to keep the facade in an optimal state over time.


A Declaration of Professionalism and Care

Through their skill and dedication, Lineaperta has established itself as an example of how the union of craftsmanship and innovative products can have a transformative impact on stone facades. These surfaces, once opaque and polluted, are elevated to real luminous and shining works of art. In a world increasingly attentive to aesthetics and sustainability, Lineaperta stands out for demonstrating that surface care not only improves aesthetics, but can also be combined with environmental protection, thus creating a winning combination.

The promotion of craftsmanship and quality is one of the distinctive aspects of Lineaperta. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship show that the art of craftsmanship can be revitalized and carried on in the modern world.The care and commitment that Lineaperta devotes to its work testify that craftsmanship is not only a tradition to be preserved, but can also evolve into new surprising forms.

Lineaperta is therefore an inspiring example of how companies can not only achieve aesthetic transformations of great impact, but do so with respect for the environment and with a deep consideration for the art of craftsmanship. Their pioneering vision and commitment to sustainability show that the future of innovation can be driven by tradition, aesthetics and respect for the natural world.
