Rubio ® WoodCream Like water off a duck’s back... One of Rubio Monocoat’s latest product innovations includes the new Rubio ® WoodCream which was specifically manufactured to protect exterior vertical wood. The high quality cream protects the wood from UV exposure as well as gives the wood an aged look and feel. Due to the cream structure, it is easy to apply, especially on vertical wood. Rubio ® WoodCream makes wood water repellent and acts as a barrier between the wood and water, like water off a duck’s back... The Rubio ® WoodCream colour range consists of 7 shades of grey, from a lighter to a darker aged look which gives the wood a natural pearl effect just 3 hours after application. A transparent version is also available that makes the wood age naturally, whilst protecting the wood and making it water repellent and acts as a self-cleaning function. Depending on the chosen colour, wood type and orientation of the vertical wood, the chosen colour will last between 2 and 5 years. After that, the natural grey shades will gradually take over. Rubio ® WoodCream is environmentally friendly with 0% VOC content. It can be applied with a brush like a standard paint or with a sponge which makes it very user friendly for anyone applying it. It can be applied on all wood species and does not form any film or flake off. Rubio ® WoodCream requires very little maintenance and aftercare. When cleaning the surface after treatment one can just rinse the surface with water. Rubio ® HydroCream A wax-based cream that paints and protects wood, stone and other mineral surfaces... Thanks to the success and many advantages of Rubio ® WoodCream, we discovered that the product had so much more to offer. By combining our 20 years of in-house experience in chemical building products and the results of multiple tests and research, it turned out that we could apply Rubio ® WoodCream on other surfaces than wood, like stone and mineral surfaces. So we proudly present you the extended version of this product: Rubio ® HydroCream. The revolutionary Rubio ® HydroCream is a wax-based cream that gives wood, stone and mineral surfaces a covering look and also makes it water-repellent. This results in a long- lasting and high-quality protection. Thanks to its cream structure, Rubio ® HydroCream is easy to apply on vertical wood. NEW PRODUCT! Rubio ® HydroCream can be used as a paint and will be available in 2 collections: the Traditional Collection and the Scandinavian Collection. The Traditional Collection is partly based on the available Rubio WoodCream colours we offer now. On the one hand, you have the opportunity to create a beautiful grey exte- rior design, and on the other hand you can still have an aged look by simply changing the application method. For the second part of this collection, we wanted to include tra- ditional warm colours like off-white, brown and taupe tints. As updated neutrals are very ‘hot’ right now, the Traditional Collection has everything you want! The Scandinavian Collection is inspired by the typical coloured houses you find in the Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Nor- way and Sweden. Start dreaming about your exterior design in one of these 10 Scandina- vian colours, like ‘Oslo Ochre’, ‘Swedish Red’ or ‘Aurora Blue’. In the collection you can also find ‘Snow White’ as a colour for a modern minimalist style and numerous combinations. WWW.RUBIOMONOCOAT.CO.UK www.refurbandrestore.co.uk - 19
