Weathering resistance

≤1.0 kg/m² as a mean with no individual value >1.5 kg/m² (freeze thaw durability).

Guidance for specification option:

It should be appreciated that with all products weathering and site conditions can cause shade variation to appear across the surface of individual units. This does not in any way affect the performance of the units and any such variation will diminish over a period of time as the product matures.

Bending strength

Characteristic bending strength of 3.5 MPa with no individual result less than 2.8 MPa.

Unpolished Slip Resistance Value (USRV) (minimum)

>45.

Guidance for specification option:

Mean unpolished skid resistance value (USRV): >45.
