Surfaces like natural stone are a popular choice, for their beauty and durability. The strength of the structures enables them to withstand high levels of traffic, and the intricate patterns and colouration of the different installations give them a unique appeal. However, their very nature works against them in one key area: staining. The porosity of the stone makes it readily absorb liquids that wind up on it, meaning that these structures are highly susceptible to stains. Putting protective measures in place to avoid this effect is key, to preserve the beauty of the installation. Formulations like the Faber Natural Look Protector come in to aid in this.
Stain Protection That Facilitates Cleaning
The main role of stain-proofing agents like the Faber Natural Look Protector is to enable you to maintain the elegance of the surface by preventing the staining agents from setting onto the material. The formulation does this by impregnating the surface and delivering its water- and oil-repellent properties, preventing liquids like coffee, wine, milk and the like, all through to fats like cooking or engine oil, from penetrating into the pores of the structure and getting ingrained. This action of the Faber Natural Look Protector means that the routine surface cleaning will become easier. You get to simply clear the content of the spills that wind up on the surface even with just a damp cloth or mop. This makes the treatment especially suitable for areas like kitchen countertops that are exposed to staining agents on a daily basis, bathroom countertops where lotions and cosmetics often come into contact with the surfaces, all through to natural stone floors that would quickly soak up spills.
The Faber Natural Look Protector also comes in handy in blocking dirt and grime from sticking to the floor. They remain on the surface, waiting to be cleared off, instead of embedding into the structure and becoming frustrating to remove. This contributes to enabling you to undertake faster cleaning of the different surfaces in your establishment. Remember to be careful when selecting the particular type of cleaning product to use for the surface. Conventional detergents and all-purpose cleaners may not be suitable for the particular surface in question, especially with regards to natural stone installations. The pH levels of the formulation matters. Where you want to get a balance between the strength needed to tackle the stubborn dirt and grime that is on the area being worked on, while still being gentle on the underlying installation.
Here, you get a multipurpose formulation. The enhanced water-repellent properties of the Faber Natural Look Protector extend its application to grouting and washing operations. Here, it is applied as a pre-grouting treatment in order to limit the water absorption and also prevent grout staining. This serves to protect the installation from water damage, and also makes the washing process easier.
This solvent-based stain-proofing agent has been developed specifically for treating natural stone surfaces, as well as medium-high absorbent materials like cotto and terracotta. The Natural Look Protector is also suitable for application on outdoor surfaces. Over time, aspects like UV radiation and bad weather can wreak havoc on such installations, deteriorating their appeal and causing cracks. Using this formulation on those external surfaces like interlocking pavers or tiles will protect them from such kinds of effects. Before treating the entire surface, you can test an unexposed area to ensure that it is suitable for your needs.
Retain the Style of your Space
A huge part of the reason why you opted for that particular type of installation in your premises is the impact it had on the décor. From the colouration of the material, the reflection and depth when light bounces off the surface – making the place appear more open and spacious, right through the intricate veining coursing through the stone structure – you want this preserved. When treating your surfaces with the Faber Natural Look Protector, you don’t have to worry about the aesthetics changing. The formulation is basically ‘invisible’ and does not alter the colour or tone of the treated surface. Since it is completely absorbed into the material due to it being a highly penetrating agent, there wouldn’t be a film left behind on the surface. This is also important in preserving the original breathability of the installation. The treatment also doesn’t yellow over time.

This treatment comes ready to use, and the application process is fast. This can be done with anything from a simple cloth to the more enhanced lambswool applicator or spray. Use your preferred tool to spread a thick coat of the Faber Natural Look Protector onto the surface. Ensure this covers the entire area, and that the layer applied is as uniform as possible. After 10 minutes, check for the sections of the surface that have product residues and carefully redistribute the excess product on these areas. Continue doing this until the treatment dries completely. It will dry in around 1 hour. A second coat can be applied on the particularly absorbent surfaces. The average coverage rate for this product is 10-15m² per litre, and this will depend on how absorbent a surface is. With the product being available in 1L bottles and 5L cans, you will be able to stock up the sufficient amount that your premises needs.
