Maintenance in real life
Dark aggregates show mineral dust from calcium-rich water, so a monthly rinse keeps the surface at its darkest. Rinse quarterly with a garden hose and jet-wash the surface once a year on the fan setting to lift embedded grit. Because this blend is seamless, there are no joints for weeds to seed into — you'll never need to re-sand or re-seal.
UV & long-term appearance
Anthracite's dark grey and black aggregates hold their tone exceptionally well under UV thanks to the aliphatic resin — no fade to grey-green over time.
Recommended borders & feature bands
A well-chosen 300–600mm border in a contrasting blend adds definition and a bespoke feel. For Anthracite, our surveyors most often recommend:
