Pavers – The Littlehampton Brick Company recommends
the use of washed concrete sand as the best
base for all natural clay pavers. This will minimise efflorescence,
which is the leaching of salts from the
pavers causing a white powdery residue to accumulate on the face of
the paver. The use of any other
material may increase the degree of efflorescence. The Littlehampton
Brick Company also strongly
recommends that pavers be laid on a well-drained site to help to reduce
the deterioration of the product
exposed to abnormal quantities of water.
Bricks – The Littlehampton Brick Company will
not be responsible for any deterioration where bricks
are insufficiently damp or water-proofed or where they are subject to
abnormal quantities of water. It is
characteristic of all the light burning clays from which bricks are
manufactured by Littlehampton Brick
in South Australia that they contain small quantities of natural salts
called vanadium salts. These water
soluble salts can leach to the surface of bricks and crystallise there
as moisture dries from the
brickwork. The resulting efflorescence is coloured yellow/ brown/ green/
blue. Vanadium Efflorescence
does not cause any damage to the structure and characteristics of Littlehampton
Brick Company bricks,
nor will the treatments approved by the Littlehampton Brick Company
to remove the colouring. For
further information on vanadium efflorescence, contact Littlehampton
Brick.
Size Variation – The stated sizes of all Littlehampton
Brick Company products are nominal sizes only.
Size variation can occur as a result of the manufacturing process
Colour Variation – All natural clay Bricks and
Pavers are sold as a blend. Because of the
manufacturing process, some colour variation can occur. All endeavours
are made to match samples
and keep orders consistent, but some slight variance may occur. The
Littlehampton Brick Company
recommend when laying clay bricks or pavers to work from 3 pallets at
any one time.
Breakage & Chipping – Every effort is made
by the Littlehampton Brick Company to minimise
breakage and chipping. The Littlehampton Brick Company and its associated
companies will not accept
claims for chipping and breakages under 5% of the number ordered.
Returns – The Littlehampton Brick Company will
not accept returns. Claims for faulty products will not
be accepted once laid. No returns will be accepted from over ordering
by either client/builder or from
estimations completed by the Littlehampton Brick Company.
