Treated with Bradstone Surface Protection for easier maintenance of stains from oil, grease and moss. Colour variations can occur within packs, therefore: Ensure your sample and blocks are from the same factory. Block paving should be ordered from the same batch number to avoid colour variation. Do not mix blocks from different factories. Travis Perkins or Bradstone cannot accept responsibility once blocks are laid from different batches. Best results are achieved through mixing from 3 to 5 different packs and from vertical columns rather than horizontal rows Light colours are susceptible to staining and care should be given when selecting blocks for driveways. Differential weathering can cause patchy dark discolourations on the surface of individual units. All decorative products will weather and change appearance over time. Travis Perkins recommends adding c.10% to your order to cover installation cuts, fitting breakages and repairs Please ensure all blocks are checked for any differences in shade or size before installation.
