Faber Natural Look Protector Review

The beauty of natural stone installations has made them a popular feature in homes, offices, hotels, malls, etc. Their characteristic charm, from the colours to the unique veining, accentuates the décor. Moreover, they are highly durable structures capable of withstanding high levels of traffic. However, their porous nature becomes an issue when it comes to staining. These structures absorb liquids very fast, and unfortunately that includes stain-causing spills. These are readily soaked up, forming unsightly patches that clash with the very beauty that made you pick that exact type of surface in the first place. Trouble is, you can’t completely prevent spills from happening. Accidents are a part of life and can happen at any time. Whether it is that coffee mug knocked over during the morning rush to prepare for work, some nail polish that dropped onto the floor, messes on the kitchen countertops, or the kids with the milk and yoghurt which somehow keep getting spilled – how do you provide your installation with round-the-clock protection? Turn to products such as the Faber Natural Look Protector, which have been developed to keep these stains from becoming part and parcel of the surface.

Benefits Of The Faber Natural Look Protector

Protection from staining agents

This formulation is a solvent-based stain-proofing treatment. It wards off staining effects from liquids cleaning from everyday beverages like coffee and tea, troublesome spills like wine, all through to oil stains. The Faber Natural Look Protector achieves this by preventing these agents from penetrating into the pores of the material and setting in. This enables you to easily clear the spills before they form stubborn messes on the affected surface.

In addition to resisting staining, the Faber Natural Look Protector also drastically reduces the levels of dirt build-ups on the surface. This is by inhibiting the material’s ability to trap dirt. That way the grime that winds up on the surface doesn’t end up being locked within the structure. This serves to further make daily maintenance easier

Water resistance

The water-repellent properties of the Faber Natural Look Protector contribute to avoiding effects of water damage on the surface. This also makes the treatment applicable in operations like grouting and washing, where the surface is treated with the product before the grouting process begins. This is to cut down the water absorption during the process, protecting the absorbent surfaces.

Remember that treating surfaces with the Faber Natural Look Protector is not an excuse to leave spills unattended. Sure, the product wards off the stain and buys you time to clean up the area – but this does not mean that you ignore spills indefinitely. Whether it is that cup or glass that tipped over, a cooking oil mess in the kitchen, or you had a full-scale party in the household that resulted in spills all over, it is advisable to clean up the spills as soon as possible. Soak up the bulk of the spill with an absorbent material, then use the appropriate cleaning agent to clear the rest. Speaking of cleaning agents, the products selected for the stain removal and routine cleaning should be compatible with the particular type of surface in question. Faber, the brand behind the Natural Look Protector, has a wide range of formulations that you can use depending on the surface characteristics of your installation. These products all adhere to strict quality control standards during development. This, coupled with the backing of a solid reputation and track record that has been built over the decades of the company’s operations, enables you to rest assured that you’re getting reliable products for your needs.

Natural finish

The Faber Natural Look Protector sets an invisible finish on the surface. For starters, it is an impregnating agent, getting absorbed into the material being worked on. Secondly, it doesn’t change the colour or tone of the treated surface. It also doesn’t form a yellow hue – another key factor that is usually considered when looking into solvent-based finishes. That way, you get to protect the natural stone and absorbent surfaces from staining while still enabling them to retain their original appearance. With the Faber Natural Look Protector being resistant to UV radiation, as well as the weather elements, the treatment can be applied onto outdoor surfaces.

Developed for high absorbent materials

You can use the Faber Natural Look Protector to treat natural stone surfaces and other medium to high-absorbent materials. This also extends to cotto and terracotta installations. The product has an average 10-15m² per litre rate of application. The specific rate that will be witnessed for your situation will depend on how absorbent the surface is. Since it works by penetrating the structure, the formulation does not leave behind a film on the surface. This maintains the breathability of the surface.

Before using the product on the whole surface, it is recommended that you carry out a test on a hidden spot to confirm the suitability of the Faber Natural Look Protector for the particular installation. Also note that the formulation should not be applied onto the surface while it is wet, or overly heated.

Easy application

You can quickly treat surfaces with this stain-proofing impregnator. As is the case with any surface treatment program, start by cleaning the area to remove the dust or dirt, then allow the surface to dry. Use a roller, brush or similar equipment to apply a thick layer of the Faber Natural Look Protector onto the target surface. It’s important to ensure that the layer spread over the surface is uniform. 10 minutes after the application, check for sections that have excess product build-up and redistribute the formulation. Keep doing this until the treatment completely dries – and this usually takes just 1 hour. In case you’re dealing with a very absorbent surface, then a second coat of product can be applied using the same procedure. While the Faber Natural Look Protector treatment has a 1-hour drying time, if you’ve applied it onto the floor, foot traffic should be kept off for at least 4 to 6 hours.
