ENVIRONMENTAL DATA SHEET

Standard block is a masonry element used in any type of building construction and is particularly used indoors as a separating wall between two rooms or as a back-wall for the construction of exterior brick masonry or stonework. It is very sturdy, durable, economical and easily available in different formats. Permacon's concrete block is now offered with glass powder as supplementary cementing materials, which makes it an asset for sustainable development.

MANUFACTURER'S COMMITMENT

For more than 60 years, Permacon has been a leader in landscaping and masonry. Over the years, we have developed a wide range of products that has evolved to meet the demands of our customers. The world has changed as well, especially from an environmental point of view.

In that sense, Permacon maintains its goal of providing quality products and increasing its involvement in eco-responsibility by producing environmentally-friendly and sustainable products, which can contribute to the new LEED® system requirements.

Our products contribute to indoor environment quality because they reduce the amount of pollutants, which can be irritating, odorous and potentially dangerous to installers or residential occupants. As our masonry products offer a natural and attractive finish, they do not need to be painted and therefore contribute to better indoor air quality. In addition, all of our facilities are listed in the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC), which encourages more efficient use of energy resources.

We have also taken measures to use gas more efficiently by gradually reducing our consumption and increasing our ability to optimize the use of this natural resource. Our packaging also contributes to environmental protection: we reuse our wooden pallets and recycle plastic.

Moreover, we have recently integrated glass powder as a supplementary cementing material in some of our concrete mixes to further help reduce the cement proportion. This has a dual environmental effect since not only reduces the amount of cement in the atmosphere, but also gives a second life to materials made of glass that would otherwise be landfilled. This addition of post-consumer material to our concrete formulas contributes significantly to the LEED® recycled content criterion from the Materials and Resources category.

Finally, some of our products contribute directly to the LEED® system.Our “permeable” pavers reduce runoff volume related to the rain water management criterion, while heat island reduction is achieved through the use of our pale-colored pavers and slabs with a high solar reflectance index, or through the use of vegetated honeycomb paving such as Boulevard Verde pavers.

The warranty applies to concrete masonry and landscaping products intended for residential use only, manufactured by Permacon, a division of Oldcastle Building Products Canada, Inc.

Under the strict condition that the provisions stated in the full-text warranty are complied with, Permacon guarantees the structural integrity of its concrete landscaping and masonry products, for a period of fifty (50) years from the date of purchase of the product.
