likelihood of limestone drawing moisture from the
atmosphere, ground water or dew. It does not protect it from
staining as a result of a spills, oil or fertilizer.

any residue oil so the sealer can penetrate into the paver
and reduce the likelihood of the sealer pealing.

use to seal the paving. Arena Stone recommend getting a
professional applicator to apply the best product to suit
the environment in which you live.

centre?
A. This is quite normal depending
on the moisture content of the paving. Over a period of time
the paver will dry out and weather.

Q. The paving has signs of white marks on the surface?
A. This is a natural phenomenon
that occurs in all cement based product, it is called
Efflorescence. This is a by-product of the curing process.
It appears more on darker colours than lighter natural
colours. It is not permanent and will disappear with time.

A. Arena Stone has been used in
Australia since 1992 & comprehensive weather tests have
proven it’s ability to withstand the extremes of Australian
climatic conditions.
|
|
Q. Can the paver compact the pavers to get them level once
they have been laid?
A. This practice is not
recommended as it will only lead to the pavers chipping or
cracking. It is standard practice that the installer ensures
each paver is level as they are being laid.
