Remove the Grime, not the Grout: The Advantage of Raised Terraces
One significant advantage of a raised terrace system is the ability to pressure wash the surface without worrying about damaging grout. In this setup, there is no grout to blow out. The water from the pressure washer flows through the gaps between the pedestal-set pavers, thanks to spacer tabs that ensure uniform spacing.
Benefits of Open Joints in Raised Terraces
By having open joints on a raised terrace, water can easily drain through to the surface below, preventing precipitation from accumulating on the decking surface. This design offers several key benefits:
- Grime Prevention: Water flows through the gaps, taking dirt and debris with it, which helps keep the surface cleaner.
- Reduced Mold and Mildew: Efficient drainage prevents standing water, reducing the moist conditions that mold and mildew need to grow.
- Enhanced Safety: By allowing water to drain away, the surface remains drier and less slippery, promoting a safer environment for walking.
With open joints and effective drainage, raised terraces stay cleaner and safer, making them an ideal choice for various outdoor spaces. Spacer tabs ensure the benefits of grout-free raised terraces.
