Other Information
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.
