How do you maintain and protect pavings?
Why should we protect pavings?
Whether on a terrace, a path or a driveway, paved surfaces are exposed on a daily basis to external aggression, which encourages the development of algae and lichen in particular. This plant pollution erodes and weakens pavings, and causes considerable aesthetic inconvenience. It is therefore essential to clean, treat and protect this surface so that it does not deteriorate over time and retains its original appearance.
What are the causes of paving deterioration?
There are a number of factors that can cause damage to paving:
- climatic hazards such as rain and sunshine
- micro-organisms that infiltrate the porosity of paving slabs
The presence of moisture, heat and micro-organisms will create the perfect environment for lichens and algae to grow. There are effective solutions for preventing and treating this plant pollution.
