The professional solution from Lithofin for use in natural stone factories

Natural stone processing plants are the linchpin in the processing of natural stone slabs. Cleaning and protective treatments are also required to ensure that kitchen worktops are ready for installation. To ensure that the necessary products are quickly to hand, Lithofin has put together a compact selection of cleaners, special products and the necessary tools in the ProBox. This means that the installer has all the products to hand and can concentrate on finishing the natural stone slabs.

The ProBox

The box consists of a solvent-resistant plastic bucket with a capacity of 20 liters. The lid closes the bucket airtight. There are various areas of application covered by the modular system:

ProBox protect: Impregnations for factory processing (use in natural stone works)
ProBox clean: Special cleaner for natural stone (service box)

All cleaners are included in their original size (1 liter or 500 ml) and can also be retrofitted individually in these units.

Good to know: Lithofin products have been developed, produced and sold in specialist shops in Germany for 70 years. Certification according to the environmental management system DIN ISO 14001 and quality management according to 1996 DIN ISO 9001 ensures high quality in all process steps.

The Lithofin ProBox protect

With the Lithofin ProBox Protect, the natural stone processing company has all the necessary products and tools to carry out factory impregnation work on natural stone, quartz composite and ceramics.

In addition to the high-quality Lithofin NanoTop and Lithofin FVE workshop impregnations (high color-intensifying effect), both of which impress with their short processing times and fast drying, the box also contains cleaning agents for preparing the surface. The box also contains microfiber cloths, nylon pads, melamine pads as well as disposable gloves, cups and brushes.

The Lithofin ProBox clean

The Lithofin ProBox Clean contains the extensive product range of special cleaners and tools for the professional cleaning of kitchen worktops made of natural stone, quartz composite and ceramic. As a service box, it offers kitchen fitters or installers the perfect equipment on site with professional products such as the highly alkaline Lithofin ASR cleaner for removing stubborn layers of dirt or Lithofin LEV, which helps to repair small imperfections in sealants and can be used without rewashing. In addition, Lithofin LÖSEFIX for removing wax, oil and felt-tip pen residues or Lithofin KF sanitary cleaner against limescale stains, rust and soap residues.

This box also contains microfiber cloths, nylon pads, sponges as well as disposable gloves, brushes and cups. Stains can be professionally removed on site.

Surface care by the customer

After the surfaces have been cleaned and protected with Lithofin products, Lithofin care sets round off the ProBox concept. For kitchen worktops in particular, the respective set for worktops made of natural stone, composite or ceramic provides end users with products that will maintain their condition for a long time. In addition to the suitable products, detailed care instructions round off the care set.

The boxes can be ordered from your personal Lithofin area manager from October. He or she will be happy to present the system to you on site in a customer appointment with a product demonstration.

Advantage of facade green

Building design

Facade green

Green façades offer advantages. This has now been supported by a study carried out by TU Darmstadt on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Green façades have many advantages. This assumption has now been confirmed by an analysis carried out by TU Darmstadt on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment of North Rhine-Westphalia. On 100 pages, the university has compiled facts that should provide important impulses for local authorities. The report focuses on performance and applicability. The data is illustrated using an example project in Aachen. The researchers found that façade greening counteracts heat stress, promotes biodiversity, retains rainwater, reduces noise pollution, filters air, provides shade and provides evaporation.

Academy Challenge: Favorite places in Berlin

Baumeister Academy, Berlin, léonwohlhage

“Berlin is poor, but sexy!” This quote by former Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit became so popular that it shaped the city’s image. Since then, Berlin has changed – also economically – and it is debatable whether poor is still the right term. But Berlin still seems to be sexy. We have our Academy […]

“Berlin is poor, but sexy!” This quote by former Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit became so popular that it shaped the city’s image. Since then, Berlin has changed – also economically – and it is debatable whether poor is still the right term. But Berlin still seems to be sexy. We asked our Academy winner Cosku Özdemirci to present her favorite places in Berlin that exude that certain Berlin charm.

The German capital is an attractive city: the crowded streets are proof of this. Everyone may have a different perception of what makes the city attractive. I think it’s more than the architecture, culture and work scene that draws people to Berlin. Perhaps it’s the atmosphere – the everyday spirit of the city that makes it so special. That’s why I tried to capture the moments that seemed special to me as I wandered around Berlin. The photo series shows the less attractive and not so beautiful corners of the city, which for me represent the Berlin spirit.
