Masterfibre’s
rubber surfacing is a relatively maintenance free application.
Regular cleaning is recommended though not required.
In order to preserve the aesthetics of the surface,
a regular maintenance schedule should be adopted. High
traffic areas may require attention as often as fortnightly.
The required frequency of such maintenance will vary
according to the amount of traffic and the locality
of the surface.
Cleaning
Masterfibre
rubber surfaces will endure water pressure cleaners
of up to 3000 psi. However, if high pressure cleaners
are the regular method of maintenance, we do not recommend
that the machine be rated higher than 2000 psi.
Blower/vac cleaners are often a good first option
when attempting to clean the surface. This will show
any indications of stains that need to be attended
to separately.
Industrial cleaners and solvents should not be used,
as they will react with the resin and rubber, causing
the matting to expand and or weaken. Domestic detergents
and cleaners can be used in order to lift stubborn
stains and marks.
Heavy chemical spills may require the removal and
replacement of the affected surface.
Paint stains will need to be washed off before allowed
to dry. As a porous product, dried paint stains will
become hard to remove. The use of any metal apparatus
and or furniture should also be avoided, or the appropriate
measures taken to ensure that rust marks are not allowed
to develop. Tables, chairs, a-frames etc. should have
legs rust proofed and rubber capped to stop any such
marking of the surface.
Wooden furniture and apparatus should be properly
bled to avoid timber and tannin staining of the surface
underneath.
Repairs
Should
the surface tear or split, the area should be covered
and if possible, remain unused until Masterfibre can
determine both the reason for the repair and the best
method to fix it. Any such situation should be referred
to our office as soon as possible.
Do not use any sharp footed furniture or apparatus
on the surface, as it will slice easily. Cap all furniture
feet. Avoid dragging such furniture over the surface
as well.
If you have any inquiries as to further maintenance
options please contact our office.
