SOME GUIDLINES FOR MAINTAINING RUBBER PAVERS...
Introduction to Rubber Pavers
Rubber pavers are available in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. One of their most attractive features is their ability to be laid down in interlocking dog bone patterns that provide strong and virtually maintenance free applications such as horse barns, patios, walkways and playgrounds.
| People tend to choose rubber pavers because they provide great safety features. They are highly slip resistant and can be applied for various indoor and outdoor uses. For vast periods of time, rubber pavers have been used in residential and commercial applications and can be laid on concrete, brick, wood or stone surfaces. |
|
Not only are rubber pavers easy to install, but they are virtually maintenance free. This means that there are no really time-consuming or costly routines that are needed to maintain their integrity for great rubber paved designs.
Maintaining Color
 |
To maintain the color composition of rubber pavers, homeowners are recommended to utilize a high pressure hose when washing the surface. This is the best method to use, however a simple sweep or mob is also very helpful in fulfilling this objective. This goes to show how cost-effective and time-effective rubber pavers can be along with a whole lot of other benefits they propose. |
Maintenance Procedures
Proper maintenance methods are as follows:
| On a daily basis: dust mop the floor to remove grime and dirt that eats away at the finish of the pavers. Keep in mind not the use a freshly treated dust mop as this can cause a slippery surface. To counter this, treat your mop and hang it up to dry for one day before you mop the rubber paved area. |
|
On a weekly basis: Damp mopping of the floor once a week will help sustain the life of the finish.
 |
Furthermore, just because rubber pavers are maintenance free when it comes to maintaining their color and cleanliness, this does not mean that the safety features they provide are in any way undermined. On the other hand, without maintenance, rubber pavers will still possess their most valuable attribute, slip resistance! Hence little maintenance is also required to preserve their beneficial safety features. |
With regards to damage and repair, rubber pavers can be replaced with minimal cost and fuss. Damaged pavers can be easily removed without the need for any expensive labor, machinery or tools.
