Rediscover the timeless beauty of your antique parquet without resorting to annoying and dusty sanding!
This innovative method allows you to bring back the elegance and charm of your wooden floor while preserving its history and unique character. Imagine being able to renovate your home, enhancing the authenticity of the parquet that has seen generations go by, without having to face the discomfort and disorder typical of traditional methods. This gentle but effective solution reveals the true essence of wood, enhancing its natural veins and the warmth that only an antique floor can give. Be surprised by the transformation and enjoy the pleasure of walking on a reborn parquet, which still tells its story but in a new light.
The Pippolo Bologna company has achieved a real miracle in the field of floor restoration, perfecting an innovative and revolutionary technique to bring back to life the parquet floors with more than 30 years on their backs. This ingenious method, the result of research and passion, is distinguished by its non-invasive nature, completely avoiding the annoying and dusty phase of sanding.
The genius of this technique lies in its ability to be not only faster, but also considerably more effective than traditional methods. It’s really amazing how this process can bring out the natural beauty of wood, almost as if it has the power to turn back time.
With skill and delicacy, it eliminates that opaque and faded aspect that the passing of years inevitably imprints on wooden floors. It is fascinating to see how, thanks to this innovation, the parquet can regain its original splendor, revealing again the veins and warm tones of the wood that seemed now lost. The Pippolo company thus demonstrates not only a great technical competence, but also a deep respect for the history and aesthetics of the floors it treats, offering a service that goes far beyond simple restoration: it is a real renaissance of wood.
The floor, once beautiful, had a dull and faded paint, with areas where it was completely absent. Pippolo has tackled this challenge with an innovative approach that respects the original material.
Initially, they used the SMACCHIO LEGNO to remove grey stains and bring wood back its natural colour. Then they carried out a non-aggressive degreasing cleaning with PULIBRILL, wisely diluted to remove stubborn dirt without damaging the surface.
The real touch of magic came with the application of OLIO RAVVIVANTE, which has given life and protection to the existing paint, penetrating even in the most compromised areas. Finally, two coats of LIGNOLIFE have smoothed the appearance and further improved the protection.
The final result was surprising: a renewed floor, uniform and protected, obtained with an intervention less invasive and faster than expected. This work demonstrates the importance of experience and knowledge of materials in the field of restoration, and highlights how the Pippolo Company is at the forefront in this sector.

The restoration of a flood-damaged Tuscan terracotta floor is a complex process that requires specific techniques and products. Impresa Pippolo di Timpano Giuseppe, specialised in the treatment of surfaces made of stone materials, carried out a targeted restoration operation, divided into two main phases: de-waxing and protective treatment. The first phase involved removing old layers of wax and dirt residues with SGRISER, a powerful alkaline-solvent wax remover. Next, VIACEM, a buffered acid detergent, was used to remove cement slurries and salt efflorescence. After thorough cleaning, EXCEL PLUS was applied, an anti-stain protective agent that penetrates deep into the terracotta without altering its breathability. To complete the treatment, a finish was applied with IDROFIN MATT, a matt wax that protects the surface and facilitates maintenance. Thanks to the use of professional products and the experience of Impresa Pippolo di Timpano Giuseppe, the floor has regained its original beauty, becoming more resistant to wear and weathering. This type of treatment not only restores the aesthetics of the terracotta but also ensures its durability, reducing the need for future maintenance.
Floor-cleaning robots simplify household cleaning, but to keep them efficient, it is essential to use specific detergents. ROBOGRES and ROBOPARQUET are low-foam concentrated solutions, ideal for porcelain stoneware and parquet, respectively. ROBOGRES prevents streaks, protects surfaces, and leaves a fresh scent, while ROBOPARQUET ensures deep cleaning, quick drying, and gentleness on wooden floors. Both have a neutral pH, making them safe for children and pets. The use of distilled water is recommended to prevent limescale buildup and maintain the robot’s efficiency.
