Harlequin floor in Le Mans
Rue des Arènes
Renovation of a floor on a private house in Le Mans
Les étapes de restauration
Diagnostic of the floor
The former visit is a time of observation of the mosaic, it allows both to visualize the surface damage but also to "listen" to the disorders caused in particular by water infiltration at the level of the support.
detachment area and gap
Probing with a metal rod makes it possible to identify areas where the mosaic is detached from its setting bed.
treatment of a gap, choice of mimicry
Renovation of a gap with a "harlequin" mixture close to the original one. The attention paid to the choice of the tones of the marbles and their size in the original format makes it possible to hide the renovation intervention as much as possible.
floor at the end of renovation work
The floor, once consolidated, "recovered", cleaned and nourished with wax, regains its luster and can be fully used.
