This will not happen with our installation, since we design a slope that will not allow any standing water to occur.

Homescape vinyl has a smooth, non-porous surface, which makes it difficult for mildew to grow. If conditions are humid enough, mildew can appear. If it does, it can be easily removed with water and/or a mild bleach solution.

Mildew is an airborne fungus that can grow on most surfaces, including painted ones. It can be black, gray, green or brown in color, and may look like dirt on the surface. Mildew requires moisture, warmth, a food source and a surface in order to grow; the following conditions will increase the chances of mildew growth:

Remove all mildew from the surface by scrubbing with a chlorine bleach solution (one part bleach and three parts water) or a commercial mildew remover, while wearing rubber gloves and eye protection. Rinse thoroughly and paint as soon as the surface is dry to avoid recontamination.

To prevent mildew keep your dome well ventilated and dry. Store your dome as dry as possible. Sponge down all mildew areas with a strong bleach solution (1 part bleach to 4 parts water). Wear gloves and have your dome well ventilated to avoid inhaling fumes. Mildew will turn pale when it dies. Spray mildew with hydrogen peroxide. Wash with a thin paste of lemon juice and borax to inhibit new mildew formation.

We specialize in manufacturing. They can be laid by any professional paving, tile layer or landscape contractor. Please call us for more information.

This fungus forms a powdery white or grayish coating on the upper surface of young leaves and sometimes on the buds. Infected leaves crumple and become distorted. Unlike blackspot, wet conditions actually inhibit the development of powdery mildew. It can not reproduce in water. It thrives during high humidity but forms on dry leaves. Warm dry days, cool dry nights are ideal for powdery mildew. One of the best ways to avoid powdery mildew is to keep things as airy as possible.

Mildew feeds off of organic materials. Vinyl (PVC) is non-organic and therefore does not support mildew. Mildew that grows on Vinyl is actual feeding off of the organic materials (dirt) that have become embedded in or stuck to the vinyl. All of our PVC profiles have a high gloss, smooth, non-porous surface that makes it very difficult for organic materials or mildew to attach to.

Mildew is another form of fungus and requires immediate attention as if left unchecked it may prove fatal to the rose. It forms a white film on the leaves, stems and flower buds that completely covers the surface, in fact it tends to suffocate the rose, Treatment with a recommended fungicide on a regular basis when outbreaks occur will bring it under control. Conditions similar to black spot treatment of adequate food, water, air flow and sun light play a big factor in the prevention of Mildew.

Palkar will, when subjected to extended damp weather, collect mold and mildew. The material however can be cleaned with a solution of mild household detergent and water. with most vinyl products, Palkar will become less flexible in the coldest weather conditions. However, unless subjected to unusual impact, it will not break or crack. Our products have been engineered to accommodate temperatures ranging from -65?F to 120?F.

Because Sierra Stone forms a porus surface water actually drains off to the grade of the substrate and does not sit on top of the surface. Water doesn't puddle up, which means the surface dries fast and is more resistant to black and green mold and mildew ? it is also less susceptible to icy patches in winter.

Most home improvement stores sell a mildew cleaner that can be applied to your roof with a sprayer. Mildew cleaners shouldn’t damage your roof in any way.

No. Stoney Ridge pavers are either natural in colour or have an oxide that is mixed through the entire product. This gives the colour more depth and the product a more natural patina which can only improve with age as does natural stone.

No, their surface texture is ideal for obtaining safe traction in pedestrian, vehicular, and pool applications-even when wet.

A 2% pitch (quarter bubble on a level) is more than adequate for your pavers. Pavers should always be pitched to carry water away from structures or poor draining areas.

Pavers are extremely durable. Sealing however may enhance colors and may prevent staining. If you choose to seal, do so a minimum of 60 to 90 days after completion of installation. Consult your dealer for complete sealing instructions.
