Patinato is the treatment of a stone's surface with special abrasive brushes. Because the brushes remove slightly more of the stone's softer areas, the surface takes on a gently undulating, aged and silky texture. It looks warm, and it is also less slippery when wet. In Alanya, we apply patinato to pool surrounds, terraces and villa floors.
What does our patinato service include?
Patinato is done both to give freshly laid stone a textured look and to make a slippery, glossy floor safer. Our work includes:
- Cleaning and preparing the surface
- Preliminary honing, if required
- Brushing with progressive abrasive brushes
- Hand finishing of edges and corners
- Pore filling (for travertine)
- Silky final coat
- Protection with impregnation sealer
- Cleanup after the job
Areas where we apply patinato
Patinato is especially preferred where a natural, rustic look is desired and slip resistance is important:
- Pool surrounds
- Terraces and verandas
- Villa living rooms
- Bathroom and shower floors
- Hotel common areas
- Garden paths
- Stair treads
- Restaurant and café floors
How do we work?
- Survey: We determine the brush grit levels according to the type of stone and the desired texture.
- Preparation: We clean the surface and, if necessary, do a preliminary grinding to level it.
- Brushing: We work step by step, moving from coarse to fine brushes.
- Final coat: We give the surface a silky-smooth finish with a fine brush.
- Protection: We apply an impregnating sealer.
- Handover: We clean the area and explain how to maintain it.
When is patinato the right choice?
- For those who don't want a glossy floor but also find a plain matte surface boring
- To reduce the risk of slipping in wet areas
- For a surface that doesn't show scratches and marks
- For rustic, natural-looking spaces
If you want a plain matte surface, honed finish is more suitable.
Patinato around pools and terraces
It is one of the most requested surfaces around the pools of villas and housing complexes in Alanya.
- Comfortable and safe for bare feet
- No glare in the sun
- Doesn't show water or footprints
- With impregnation, it resists chlorinated water
State-of-the-art devices and equipment
In patinato work in Alanya, on marble, travertine and granite floors, the first thing that determines the quality of the job is the right equipment. We choose the devices and materials according to the type of surface and the location of the job, and we do not use products that harm human or environmental health.
- Diamond and silicon carbide brushes that create the texture
- Heavy-bodied floor machines
- Vacuum machines that collect dust
- Protective impregnation suited to textured surfaces
When working with water, we vacuum up the dirty water at the same time, so the areas not being worked on can still be used while the job is in progress. When the job is done, we also explain how to clean and maintain the surface day to day.
World-class quality
No matter how good the machine and the material are, it is the craftsman's hand that creates a clean, lasting surface. In patinato, the texture depth must be consistent across every area, and achieving the same look on edges and corners takes real skill.
For years, our team has been carrying out patinato work in hotels, housing complexes, villas and commercial premises across all of Alanya's districts, including Alanya city center, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı and Okurcalar. On every job, we determine each step according to the condition of the surface and give the same level of care at every stage.
