You want the beauty and lustre of your floor to last. From granite to concrete installations, their state reflects on the rest of the ambience. It can be frustrating when the shine of the newly laid flooring deteriorates. Once it was the envy of your guests, but after some time you can barely stand to look at it when you walk into your home. Even in commercial establishments, you don’t want that luxurious look of your limestone flooring to be replaced by a dull and dilapidated look, that turns away customers from your business premises. While, quite literally, solid as a rock, these installations aren’t immune to the wear and tear of everyday life. They require regular care and maintenance to keep them at their optimal. Scratches, scuff marks, the occasional food and drink spills, abrasion from foot traffic, items that nick the surface, your pet with its sharp claws- they are a threat to the installation. It’s not just the aesthetics that are on the line. When this continues unabated, the structural integrity of the floor reduces, cutting down on its lifespan, and meaning that you will find yourself being forced to pay for costly repairs and replacements to be done. Protecting your floor with treatments such as the Faber HidroFab is vital.

A product from Faber, you can rely on it to deliver on its mandate. This is a company with a long and proven track record, from when it began back in 1986, to its current position where it is an industrial leader relied on by professionals, plus home and business owners alike for the care, treatment and maintenance of the surface in their buildings. The business extended its reach from its origins in Italy, to major export markets in Europe, the UAE and other Gulf nations, to China, Singapore, Taiwan, Russia and Japan in Asia. With highly effective systems, definitive solutions that meet specific consumer needs, from the installation stage of surface care, to the routine cleaning and maintenance, to formulations for repairing damage structures- they have built a loyal market base. Their systems have met high quality standards, being certified by Certiquality Certification Body- including the ISO 9001:2008. Whether you’re looking to accentuate the floors in your home, or give your restaurant, hospital or office building a professional look, waxing with the Faber HidroFab will enable you to meet your goal. This particular formulation is suited for treating indoor surfaces. You can use it on stone, slate, cotto granite, terracotta, quartzite, or concrete floors. It's also safe for wood (both parquet and natural wood installations), limestone, and agglomerates such as marble cement.

Benefits Of The Faber Hidro Fab

  1. Enhance the appeal of the surfaces

With the Faber Hidro Fab, you get to accentuate your interior space. It sets a polished finish to the surface, while bringing out the tone of the material. It’s actually a self-polishing treatment, meaning the end result gets to be retained for longer. The whirl marks, patterns and style of the installation flourish with this treatment, greatly boosting your decor. What’s more, it does not yellow over time. As such, you get to ensure the treated surface for longer.

  1. Withstands heavy foot traffic

The Faber HidroFab forms a strong and durable layer that protects the underlying structure from heavy footfall. This reduces the wear effects, and keeps the floor looking elegant for longer. As a welcome bonus, you get to avoid the hefty repair and replacement costs that come when the floor deteriorates due to not being treated well.

  1. Makes routine maintenance breeze

By sealing the surface, the Faber HidroFab prevents dirt from adhering to the floor. Moreover, it enhances the resistance against water-based and oil-based stains. As such, when it comes to cleaning your floors, you end up spending less amount of time and resources than would have otherwise been the case. Routine cleaning can be carried out using Faber Neugel, and you can restore the shine to the finish using the same Faber HidroFab, diluted to 1:5 with water. When the time to strip the wax comes, you can use a product like the Dec 21, also from the same brand.

  1. Easy to apply

Using the self-polishing Faber HidroFab is not rocket science. Conventional tools can be used too, like rollers or even a lambswool applicator. First, give the surface a thorough wash to remove any dirt and grime, and then allow it to dry. Once it’s ready, simply apply the Faber HidroFab on the floor, distributing it evenly. Be sure to be on the lookout for build-ups before you complete each section, as at this point you can redistribute the product to ensure that you have an even coat. Once it has begun to dry and cure, the build-ups will be resolved later on through mechanical polishing. After the entire area has been covered with the product, it will dry fast, in about 1-2 hours.

Additional modifications should only be carried out after you’re sure the product has become completely dry- an extra hour should suffice. For instance, when you’re dealing with the surfaces that are textured and have a high absorbency, where an extra coat of application is required, apply it after 2-3 hours. Should you want to increase the surface shine beyond the effect delivered by the Faber HidroFab, you can use a mechanical polisher with a white or lambswool pad. Give the floor a minimum of 3 to 4 hours of curing time, wash the surface, and then polish it to your desired shine. Here are some extra tips to enhance the quality of the results as you use this wax-resin formulation:

    • Apply the coat of Faber HidroFab in one direction. In case you want to add a second coat, use a perpendicular direction to the first.

    • Only allow normal foot traffic back onto the floor after 4 to 6 hours have elapsed.


  1. Cost-effective

By nature of being a self-polishing product, the Faber HidroFab cuts down on the amount of resources needed to bring the shine to your surface. What’s more, it is affordable, and has a wide coverage rate, with each litre of product being able to treat 15 to 20m2 of surface.

Floorcare Made Easier with Faber Hidrofab

Floors…how much care do they get? They literally do the heavy lifting in your space, carrying the weight of furniture, absorbing the impact of footsteps, and facing the daily grind of dirt, spills, and wear. What measures have you put in place to protect your installation?

Spills, stains, dirt, and time all work against your floors. Some materials, like limestone or sandstone, are prone to damage if neglected. Others, like textured concrete, can trap grime in their grooves. The result is floors that look tired and worn, even with regular cleaning.

The truth is, floors set the tone for a room. A clean, polished floor can make a space feel open, warm, and inviting. On the other hand, dull, scuffed floors can drag down the entire vibe, no matter how stylish your decor is. 

That pricey artwork or state-of-the-art electronics will fade into the background if the floor itself is in a sorry state. Meanwhile, walking into a bright living room or office space with a polished, well-maintained floor that reflects the natural light will even enhance your mood.

You can protect your floors, make cleaning simpler, and keep them looking their best with Faber Hidrofab. 

Features Of Faber Faber Hidrofab

Wax-Resin Technology For Your Floors

Faber Hidrofab is a water-based wax-resin emulsion. The wax element delivers the polish. It leaves a smooth, gleaming finish that highlights the natural beauty of your floors. No, this isn’t the dull, plastic-like shine some products offer. Faber Hidrofab gives a refined, professional look that lasts.

The resin binds with the surface, forming a strong yet invisible layer. This layer doesn’t just sit on top; it integrates with the floor’s texture, sealing every pore. This prevents dirt and liquids from penetrating into the structure. Instead, they bead on the surface, waiting to be wiped away.

Once applied, Faber Hidrofab’s barrier starts working immediately. Its water- and oil-repellent properties protect against spills and stains. Say glass of red wine toppling onto a travertine floor. Without protection, that’s a nightmare. With Faber Hidrofab, the wine droplets beads up, making clean-up easier. Even everyday messes like mud or grease can’t cling to the surface. This means less scrubbing and fewer harsh cleaning products. It’s a tailored  dual-action defence system for your floors.

Why Water and Oil Repellence Matter

Spills happen. From a dropped glass of water to a splash of cooking oil, accidents are inevitable. But what if your floors didn’t absorb them? What if cleaning up was as easy as a quick wipe? That’s exactly what Faber Hidrofab offers—an innovative solution to everyday messes.

Porous materials like terracotta or limestone are notorious for soaking up spills. Without protection, even a small coffee spill can leave a stubborn stain. Faber Hidrofab stops this process in its tracks with its water- and oil-repellent properties.

The wax-resin emulsion bonds with the floor, creating a seal that blocks liquids. This layer doesn’t compromise the natural look of your floor. It preserves beauty while adding an invisible shield against damage.

In high-traffic areas like hallways or foyers, mud and water from wet shoes make a mess. Without protection, these can lead to discolouration or even erosion. Faber Hidrofab provides a shield, so dirt doesn’t stick and moisture doesn’t sink in. Cleaning becomes faster and easier—no scrubbing required

Suitable For Multiple Surfaces

Different floors require different care. That’s where Faber Hidrofab’s versatility comes in. Its wax-resin technology adjusts to each material, protecting textured sandstone just as effectively as polished marble. Even challenging finishes like distressed or brushed stone benefit from its smooth, dirt-proof layer.

For porous materials like cotto or terracotta, the formula seals tiny gaps where dirt and moisture love to hide. On structured porcelain tiles or concrete, it provides a glossy shield that stands up to heavy use. 

Moreover, Faber Hidrofab’s protective layer is built to endure. Applied correctly, it withstands foot traffic, dirt, and cleaning routines for months. And unlike some waxes, Faber Hidrofab doesn’t yellow over time. Your floors stay polished and clear, no matter how long it’s been since the treatment.

Fast Drying, Long Lasting

With Faber Hidrofab, you don’t have to block off days just to treat your floors. Its fast-drying formula means you can apply, cure, and get back to living your life, all in the same day.

Its drying time is just 1–2 hours. Even after application, there’s minimal waiting. Floors treated with Faber Hidrofab can handle foot traffic in 4–6 hours. No need to cordon off rooms overnight or disrupt your routine.

Fast isn’t the only thing Faber Hidrofab does well. It’s also incredibly durable. Once applied, its wax-resin barrier holds up for months, even in demanding environments.

This longevity saves you effort and money. Instead of frequent touch-ups or expensive professional treatments, you get consistent protection over time. It’s a smart investment for your floors.

And while other waxes fade or form a yellow hue over time, leaving your floors looking worse than before. Faber Hidrofab doesn’t. Its formula is designed to stay clear, preserving the original tones of your flooring.

Wide Coverage

Faber Hidrofab boasts an impressive coverage rate—15 to 20 m² per litre. This means a single litre can treat an entire living room, a spacious kitchen, or even a busy hallway with ease. For larger homes or spaces, its high efficiency significantly reduces the amount you need, keeping costs manageable. Compare that to other treatments that require multiple coats or excessive quantities to achieve similar results. Faber Hidrofab’s formula is designed for maximum impact with minimal waste.

Its long shelf life also makes it an economical choice. Stored properly, Faber Hidrofab remains effective for 24 months, meaning you can stock up without worrying about waste. 

Value Of Maintaining Your Floors

Floors influence how a space feels and functions. A sleek, polished floor can make a room feel bigger and brighter. Meanwhile, a dull, worn floor can make even the most stylish space feel uninviting.

Think about a typical day. In your home, your living room floor hosts everything from morning rushes to movie nights. Your kitchen floor faces splashes, spills, and dropped utensils. And if you have a hallway, it’s probably the first place to show scuffs and scratches. Now, multiply that by weeks, months, and years. That’s a lot of wear.

Workplaces face even greater challenges. Office floors see endless footsteps from staff and clients. Retail spaces deal with heavy traffic, constant cleaning, and sometimes harsh weather conditions. And let’s not forget event spaces—floors that need to look pristine while holding up under the strain of crowds and heavy equipment.

Whether it’s a home or an office, floors that look good create an impression of care and attention. On the other hand, neglected floors can diminish the overall appeal, no matter how perfect the decor.

Your floors work hard for you. It’s time to give them the care they deserve. Faber Hidrofab from Faber enables you to achieve that.

Polished Floors and Their Psychological Impact

Clean floors influence mood and productivity too. Tidy, polished spaces reduce stress and increase focus. It’s no coincidence that clean, shiny offices often feel more professional and energised. Your environment shapes how you think, and spotless floors set a tone of order and calm.

Take your home, for example. A well-maintained floor in the living room invites relaxation. It reflects natural light, making the space feel bigger and warmer. In kitchens, shiny tiles don’t just look clean—they feel hygienic. And in bedrooms, a spotless floor adds to the comfort of the space, creating a haven for unwinding.

It’s the same in public spaces. Retail shops with pristine floors make customers feel more comfortable browsing. Polished hotel lobbies instantly communicate quality. Even a humble café feels more welcoming when the floors are spotless and gleaming. These small details leave lasting impressions on everyone who enters.

Your floors are part of the atmosphere. They’re not just something you walk on; they’re something you feel. When they’re polished and clean, they uplift the entire space, changing how people experience it. Whether at home or in a workplace, your floors should reflect care and attention. Because how they look changes how we feel.

Achieving Professional-Level Results with Faber Hidrofab

Tools You Need

You don’t need a toolbox full of fancy gadgets to treat your floors with Faber Hidrofab. What you do need are a few reliable tools and a bit of preparation. Start with these items:

  • Lambswool Applicator or Roller: These tools are ideal for spreading Faber Hidrofab evenly. The lambswool applicator is perfect for smooth, delicate surfaces, while a roller works wonders on larger or textured areas. Avoid brushes—they can leave streaks and uneven layers.

  • Clean Tray for the Wax: A dedicated tray lets you dip and load your applicator with ease. Make sure it’s free from dust or debris to avoid contaminating the product.

  • Microfibre Cloths: Keep these handy for wiping up small spills or touching up edges. They’re gentle and won’t leave lint behind.

  • Masking Tape: Use this to protect skirting boards and adjacent surfaces. Accidental smudges on walls or furniture can be tricky to clean later.

  • Water-Repellent Pre-Treatment (Optional): For porous or textured floors, a water-repellent product applied beforehand helps Faber Hidrofab bond better, sealing the surface more effectively.

Mistakes to Avoid

Even with the right tools, there are a few pitfalls to watch out for. 

  1. Applying to Damp Surfaces: Never use Faber Hidrofab on a wet or damp floor. Moisture interferes with adhesion, leaving you with a patchy finish. Always allow freshly cleaned floors to dry completely.

  2. Skipping the Temperature Check: Faber Hidrofab works best between 5°C and 40°C. If the floor is too cold or hot, the product won’t cure properly. Test the temperature before starting, especially in extreme weather.

  3. Using Dirty Equipment: Dust or debris on your applicator can ruin the finish. Always clean your tools thoroughly before and after use.

  4. Overloading the Applicator: Less is more when it comes to Faber Hidrofab. Apply thin, even layers, and avoid pooling too much product in one area. It’s easier to add a second coat than to fix build-up.

Preparing The Floor

Start by thoroughly cleaning the floor to remove dust, dirt, or grease. That way Faber Hidrofab will be able to bond properly. Dust, dirt, or grease will interfere with the product’s adhesion, leaving an uneven finish. Use a broom or vacuum to remove loose debris, then mop with a mild cleaner. Let the floor dry completely. For surfaces prone to stubborn stains, like terracotta or sandstone, take extra care to ensure every corner is clean. 

Next, mask off areas that don’t need treatment. Edges near walls, door frames, or furniture should be protected with masking tape.

If you’re treating a porous surface like terracotta or sandstone, consider applying a water-repellent pre-treatment. This step seals the deeper layers, allowing Faber Hidrofab to bond with the surface without sinking in too much.

Before you start, test Faber Hidrofab on a small, inconspicuous area. This ensures compatibility with your flooring material and helps you perfect your technique before committing to the entire surface.

Application Process

  1. Apply the First Coat

Pour Faber Hidrofab into a clean tray. Dip your applicator lightly. Spread a thin, even coat across the floor, working in one direction. This consistency is key to avoiding overlap marks or uneven layers. If you notice any pooling, redistribute it immediately.

  1. Let It Dry

Patience pays off here. Faber Hidrofab dries quickly—usually in 1–2 hours—but give it the full time before touching the surface. Rushing this step risks smudging or disrupting the wax layer.

  1. Apply a Second Coat (If Needed)

For highly absorbent or textured floors, a second coat may be necessary. Wait until the first coat is completely dry, then apply the second coat in the opposite direction. This criss-cross technique ensures full coverage and a professional finish.

  1. Add Extra Shine (Optional)

Want an ultra-glossy finish? Use a mechanical floor polisher with a lambswool pad. Wait at least 3–4 hours after the final coat to allow the wax to cure. This step isn’t required, but it enhances the shine and corrects any small imperfections.

Once the wax is dry, you can walk on the floor within 4–6 hours after the final coat is applied.

Tips for Specific Floor Types

  • Porous Surfaces (e.g., Terracotta, Sandstone): Consider a water-repellent pre-treatment before applying Faber Hidrofab. It helps the wax adhere better and seals deeper pores.

  • Textured Surfaces (e.g., Brushed Stone): Use a roller for even coverage, and be ready to apply a second coat.

  • Dense Surfaces (e.g., Granite, Marble): One coat may be enough, but polishing after application gives a premium finish.

Why Faber Hidrofab Fits Your Lifestyle 

  1. Designed for Busy Schedules

Life doesn’t wait, and neither should your floor care routine. With Faber Hidrofab, you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your space. It’s practical, efficient, and made for those who have better things to do than scrub floors all day.

Its water- and dirt-repellent properties mean spills and grime don’t stick. Instead of scrubbing stains or dealing with stubborn dirt, all it takes is a quick wipe or mop. Floors treated with Faber Hidrofab are noticeably easier to maintain. 

Perfect for Families

Family life can get messy. Spilled drinks, muddy shoes, and the occasional crayon attack are part of the deal. Faber Hidrofab makes these moments less stressful. Its protective barrier resists stains and dirt, giving you time to clean up before the mess becomes a problem.

If you’ve got kids or pets, you’ll love how Faber Hidrofab handles heavy use. Whether it’s a lively kitchen or a constantly busy hallway, your floors will stay polished and protected. You’ll spend less time worrying about damage and more time enjoying your home.

Built for Professionals

For professionals, time is money. Faber Hidrofab caters to those who can’t afford downtime. Its quick-drying formula lets you treat floors without disrupting your day. Floors are ready for foot traffic in just 4–6 hours, meaning no need to close off spaces for long.

This is especially useful for home offices or rental properties. A polished floor makes a great impression, whether you’re hosting clients or preparing a space for new tenants. Faber Hidrofab gives you that professional finish without complicated procedures.

Ideal for Commercial Spaces

Busy offices, bustling shops, and high-traffic lobbies need durable, low-maintenance floors. Faber Hidrofab delivers. Its protective layer holds up under heavy use, resisting wear and stains over time. Cleaning becomes faster and easier, even for large spaces.

Commercial spaces also benefit from Faber Hidrofab’s cost efficiency. Its coverage rate—15–20 m² per litre—means you get excellent value for your investment. For businesses managing multiple floors, that’s a significant saving in time and resources.

Caring for Your Floors and the Planet

You’ll find that many traditional floor treatments rely on harsh solvents or chemicals. Sure they can be effective, but they come at what cost? Your health and the environment bear the brunt. Faber Hidrofab takes a different approach. Its water-based formula eliminates the need for toxic additives. It’s a gentler choice for your home, yet it does not falter on the required levels of production. .

A water-based product breaks down more naturally, reducing its environmental impact. Fewer pollutants entering waterways or ecosystems. A water-based formula is better for your indoor air quality too. Unlike solvent-based alternatives, there won’t be strong fumes being released into the space. That means no overpowering odours during application and no lingering smells afterwards. 

Safer Floorcare With Faber Hidrofab

Faber Hidrofab’s mild pH of 8.0 is gentle on your floors and safe to use in homes with children or pets. It creates a polished, protective barrier without compromising on the safety of your living space.

Even during application, Faber Hidrofab prioritises your well-being. The formula is classified as non-hazardous under current standards, reducing risks commonly associated with chemical treatments. Still, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves is always a good idea. 

How To Maintain Faber Hidrofab-Treated Floors

Your floors deserve a little love to keep them looking their best. With Faber Hidrofab, maintenance is simple and stress-free. 

Cleaning Tasks

For daily cleaning, use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum to pick up dust and debris. For a deeper clean, a damp mop is all you need. Avoid soaking the floor—Faber Hidrofab’s protective layer works best with light moisture.

Routine Maintenance

Use NEUGEL, also from Faber, to work on the floor. This gentle cleaning solution is specially designed for Faber Hidrofab-treated surfaces. A little goes a long way—just dilute 20–40 grams in 5 litres of water and mop as usual. It’s effective, economical, and keeps the wax layer intact.
