Aquaflow® maintenance

The surface blocks have a design life equivalent to standard block paving.  All paved surfaces will require occasional cleaning. In normal circumstances, regular sweeping will be sufficient. It is recommended that this should be carried out in the spring and after leaf fall in autumn.

It should be noted that lighter coloured blocks may exhibit tyre marks and will therefore require more cleaning and maintenance when used in certain situations.
Following routine maintenance it may be necessary to re-dress the surface with 2-4mm clean gritstone.

Ultimately, perhaps after 25 years or more some areas of the laying course may become filled with silts and toxins. If this occurs the surface blocks should be uplifted and the affected areas of laying course material and Inbitex^® Geotextile disposed of. The existing subbase can be left in situ. Fresh Inbitex Geotextile and laying course stone should be installed and the existing surface blocks re-used.
