Lifeline Advance significantly improves the appearance of the stain and enhances the color, clarity, and depth of the overall finish. You home will take on the appearance of a lacquered piece of furniture. Some of the highest performance ingredients simply can not be incorporated in colored stain because colored stain must contain pigment. Lifeline Advance allows us to use these high performance ingredients that impart optimized film hardness, higher surface smoothness, and take advantage of a different UV protection technology. Lifeline Advance forms a thin, elastic, breathable barrier that may easily be maintained every three to five years. Its smooth surface also helps prevent dust and pollen buildup which makes washing your home easier than ever. We are so confident in the durability of Lifeline Advance and our two-step finish system that we can offer an unprecedented warranty of protection.
