At one of our clients' properties, we faced a challenge – the block paving in their courtyard had become overgrown with moss, lichens, and was covered in a layer of dirt after years of neglect. This situation is quite common, especially for paving located in damp or shaded areas. Our goal was to thoroughly clean the paving, restore its original appearance, and ensure long-term protection against re-soiling. How did we achieve this? We proceeded step by step, and here is our process.
Step 1: Surface Preparation
The first step was to thoroughly clean the surface of larger debris, such as twigs, leaves, and other remnants that could interfere with the effectiveness of the subsequent cleaning. This preparation ensured that the process would be as efficient as possible and that the cleaning agent could penetrate deeply into the paving.
Step 2: Application of the Cleaning Agent Impaguard D 201
On the prepared paving, we applied the Impaguard D 201 agent, which is specifically designed to remove stubborn dirt, biological deposits, and mould. Using a sprayer, we evenly applied the agent across the entire area and allowed it to work for approximately 10–15 minutes. During this time, the agent actively worked to disrupt all deposits and disinfect the surface.
Step 3: Hot Water Pressure Washing
After the application time had elapsed, we moved on to the second key step – washing the paving using a hot water pressure washer at a temperature of 80 °C. This step is crucial not only for removing residues of the agent and deeply embedded dirt but also for opening the pores of the paving, which ensures better adhesion of the protective agent. The hot water and high pressure allowed us to literally wash away years of neglect. After this phase, the paving was revitalised and began to look like new.
Step 4: Application of the Protective Agent Impaguard IG 360 GCA
With the cleaned and dry paving, we could proceed to the final step – protective impregnation. We evenly applied the Impaguard IG 360 GCA agent to the surface using professional application equipment. This innovative agent not only strengthens the surface of the paving but also protects it from external influences such as water, oils, and biological contaminants.
The most important advantage of this agent is its biocidal component, which provides long-term protection for the paving against the formation of new moss, lichens, and algae. After application, we allowed the agent to dry so that a protective film could form, giving the paving not only durability but also a fresh, new appearance.
Step 5: Final Result – Paving Like New!
Upon completing all the steps, we presented the client with perfectly cleaned, reinforced, and protected paving. The result was stunning – the paving not only looked like new, but thanks to the Impaguard IG 360 GCA agent, we ensured long-term protection that will last for many years. The client was absolutely thrilled, and we were proud of another job well done.
