  • Method

    Selective biocide pre-treat to kill moss at the root - extra important on very-exposed urban terrace sites

  • Method

    Kiln-dried jointing sand brushed in once the surface is dry on every Cattedown job

  • Method

    Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at Cattedown's very-exposed exposure

  • Method

    Pattern-imprinted concrete re-sealed in the same visit - useful on urban terrace layouts
