Why has my customers paving joint turned darker in places?

Why has my customers paving joint turned darker in places? Is it the product changing colour?

I’ve seen an increase recently in calls from customers enquiring as to why their lovely clean paving joints are going funny colours.

The reason mainly is all due to the exceptional warm, damp weather this year creating the perfect habitat for fungi and algae to grow.

The colour in our EASYJoint product is derived from the sand used itself so will not change.

One particularly horrible looking fungus is of the Cladosporium species. It is attracted to the warm moisture in the paving joint and soon sets about growing and can make EASYJoint appear to turn from a light beige joint to virtually black!

Where does it come from you may ask? Well Cladosporium spores like many others are carried by the wind and are extremely abundant in quantity.

Generally, if you have trees around your area there is a good chance that your garden will get a good helping of many various types of airborne spores and seeds.

So what can you do to help keep your beautiful patio looking good?

I can suggest using products from our EASYCare range such as EASY ALGAE REMOVER.

EASY ALGAE REMOVER contains a clever ingredient that remains even after rinsing to keep on protecting from algae and fungal growth for weeks after.
