A Look At The Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder

Natural flooring is popular across the globe. Those like marble surfaces are ahead of the pack for their wide range of positive attributes. Take the style for instance. Marble instantly adds a luxurious feel to any space, be it residential or commercial. Its characteristic charm is hard to imitate. What’s more, the tiles are available in different colours, with numerous decorative schemes. In fact, every single tile is one of a kind, with its shifts and changes in its colouration and veining. Its translucent nature adds to the elegance, allowing light to easily penetrate through it. This makes them almost glow. It doesn’t end there. Marble- and limestone floors too, can be polished. This enables them to get a silky smooth finish, providing a look of sophistication and glamour. However, this doesn't last unless the flooring is well taken care of. This includes regular cleaning, plus the routine polishing to maintain- and enhance- that appeal. That's where products like the Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder come in.

Why does that impressive look fade away over time? It can be general deterioration caused by daily foot traffic and the occasional thorough scrubbing of the surface, or there may be sections of the surface that develop dull spots- which are a stark contrast to the rest of the flooring. Abrasive action from the shoes of people walking about, contact with acidic or alkaline fluids- they all affect the flooring. Be it wine, rock salt, lemon juice or vinegar- when they come into contact with the natural stone, etching results, taking away the appeal. In fact, this is why sections like kitchens, halls, and entryways are most affected- and even bathrooms for the cases of urine getting onto the surface. While a thorough cleaning takes away the stains, what of the shine? You want the glamour restored to your floor. A product that has been specifically designed for the task, and will deliver the desired results without putting the underlying installation at risk. That's right up the alley of the A3 Yellow. It has been developed by Faber, a world leader in the care and maintenance of natural stone, their agglomerates, cotto, and stoneware, all through to ceramics, and terracotta. Their products are relied on across the board, by homeowners, industrial cleaning firms, all through to builders and surface maintenance professionals. They have been around since the 80s, and serve an international market spanning across Europe and Asia. That wide reach, coupled with the decades of operations, is testament of the quality to expect from their products.

Why You Should Turn To The Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder To Maintain Your Floors

For starters, you get to effectively treat the surface and give it a deep vitreous shine. In fact, this depth of shine can be seen against the natural lighting in the room. The wet polishing powder achieves this without affecting the surface hardness of your installation. Moreover, it adds to the attributes such as resistance to dirt, and non-slip properties. This means you get to simultaneously accentuate the decor of the interior space, protect the persons walking around from slip and fall accidents, and prolong the life of your floor. What's more, it keeps it elegant all through.

How To Use The Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder

1. The first step is surface preparation. The area being polished or maintained needs to be cleaned. The dirt and debris will just get in your way and ruin the quality of the results. Note that the Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder should not be applied to wet surfaces. At most, they should only be slightly damp. Wait for the surface to dry before you proceed.
2. Cover the adjacent surfaces that are not to be treated.
3. Apply 2-3 spoons of the Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder onto the surface. Onto this, add just enough water to form a creamy paste that can be easily distributed. As a general guide, 2 spoons of water is used for each spoonful of powder. It’s a zero-volatility wet powder, so you won’t have to worry about dust being released and dispersed into the air.
4. You can then work the powder onto the surface with equipment like single disc machines that have at least 1.5HP, or manual rotary brushes. Note that the paste should remain creamy throughout the application, so you will be required to occasionally add some water to it.

When working with the single disc machine, set it to 150-200 rpm. It's recommended that you work in small, manageable areas at a time- like in 2m² sections. Ensure that you cover the entire area, passing over each section a number of times.

5. Buff the surface to the desired shine. Here, the number of passes depends on your desired goal. For instance, if it is maintenance polishing, 10-15 passes over each section will suffice. In this case, less powder will also be needed- like 1-2 spoonfuls. On the other hand, if you’re restoring the shine to a worn-out surface, or buffing after polishing, 20-25 passes will need to be made over each section with the single disc machine.
6. Vacuum away the residue from the surface, then rinse it with copious amounts of clean water.

Tips for Using The Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder

• In case you're applying the powder to surfaces that have been recently installed, or have just been grouted, first allow the adhesive/grout to completely cure.
• In the middle of the buffing process, you can pause to check the level of the shine obtained by simply removing some of the product from a small section of the surface. For this, you can use a conventional tool like a squeegee mop.
• The powder should not be applied to surfaces that have been overly heated. In fact, surface temperature should range from 5 to 40C
• After treating the surface with the Faber A3 Yellow Marble Polishing Powder, you can use compatible products from the same brand for the maintenance. For instance, NEUGEL or ALGAFLOOR can be used for the routine cleaning, Faber 30 for thorough cleaning, and products like PROTEX WB or HIDRO 150 to provide stain-protection. The shine can be maintained with units such as CRISTALFAB or the CRISTALFAB WHITE PAD.
