Laying a paved area or a driveway is well within the ability of the DIY enthusiast.
Taking a step by step approach to the project, it is possible to create a beautiful feature that will be enjoyed by you and the whole family. This paved area, patio or driveway, designed and created with a little care and attention, will add value to your home.
Care & Maintenance
Maintenance
Consult an expert before using any cleaning materials and always test a small area before cleaning the entire patio. Algae and fungal growth can be cleaned by spraying with fungicide. Brushing and washing on a regular basis should be enough to maintain your patio.
To maintain the appearance of paving periodic cleaning is important two or three times a year. Regular brushing to prevent the build up of detritus is recommended. Scrubbing with a stiff brush, hot water, and a mild detergent is normally sufficient. Acid cleaners may damage the paving. Moss, lichen and weeds need to be treated with appropriate algaecides and fungicides. Always take care to follow the manufacturers instructions.
Colour
Differential curing, site conditions, seasonal manufacture or a naturally occurring variation in the aggregates used in manufacture can cause slight colour and shade variations in individual concrete products.
Generally this is considered to enhance the natural stone effect and the colours will invariably weather together in time. The colours illustrated are as accurate as possible. Whilst every effort has been made to represent textures and colours, we recommend that you make your choice from actual samples of the product.
Sealing
All Chapterstone paving must be sealed using a good quality sealer to protect from natural weathering, staining and fungal growth which occurs in nature. It is advisable to experiment on a small area at first as sealing may sometimes alter the colour slightly.
Before applying sealer it is important that paving is perfectly clean and dry. Responsibility for the performance of sealers and cleaners rests with the user and manufacturer of the product.
Power Washing
We recommend that power washing should NEVER be used on paving as it can damage the surface of the concrete. A deck scrub and warm soapy water are normally sufficient
