Efflorescence

Charcon cannot accept responsibility for the effect of “efflorescence” which can be a characteristic of all building products with a high cement content.

The phenomenon may be exhibited by an apparent loss of intensity of colour and the appearance of a milky white bloom on the face of the product. The effect generally disappears with time and is in no way detrimental to the performance of the product.

Colours

We take great care in the photographic accuracy of products shown, however due to variables in both the photographic process and your screen, colours may not exactly match current production. We recommend that clients obtain current production samples in suitable quantities as a general indication of colour before final selection.

To minimise colour and texture variation, we recommend that products are ordered from one batch. In manufacturing precast concrete products, variation in colour and texture may arise, and therefore total consistency cannot be guaranteed. The degree of rumbling on block paving products may also vary from product to product and between batches. Multi-coloured products are produced randomly therefore colour proportions in different blocks may vary.

Colours may vary slightly between production batches and customers are advised to mix and select product from at last three different packs on site. Natural stone products will feature more colour variation than concrete products.

Product development

Charcon have a policy of continuous development and production and product information is subject to change without notice. All products are manufactured to the appropriate British, (BS) standard or harmonised European standards, (BS EN) wherever possible. If no standard currently exists then Charcon’s own standard is applied. All products are supplied subject to Charcon’s Terms and Conditions of Sale, a copy of which is available on request.
