Prevention is better than cure • Leave pavers wrapped and as dry as possible until just before laying. After wrap is removed, ensure paver surfaces are evenly exposed to the air, do not leave them ‘star-stacked’ around the site for long periods before laying as the concrete hydration process may cause exposed corners to visibly lighten in comparison to covered sections. • Sweep regularly with a stiff-bristled broom to keep pavers free of debris. • For maximum protection we suggest pavers are sealed after installation with a penetrating sealer (please check with a reputable sealing company for advice). • Re-seal pavers as required taking special care in heavy wear areas and salt-water locations. During construction cover the paved areas to protect against damage. • Protect your pavers against possible staining from mortar, oxides, cement and rust. The use of acid and chemically-based cleaning agents can be hazardous if used incorrectly so always consult a professional. • In all cases attempt to clean a stain before it hardens or dries up.
