FAQs, Tips & Advice

What is efflo­res­cence?

Efflo­res­cence is a nat­u­ral­ly occur­ring process in all con­crete prod­ucts that some­times appears in the form of a white pow­dery film on the pave­ment sur­face. It does not, in any way, com­pro­mise the func­tion­al­i­ty or the struc­tur­al integri­ty of the prod­uct. Although efflo­res­cence can­not be pre­vent­ed, it will wash off over time or can be cleaned with an efflo­res­cence clean­er.

Can I use deic­ing salt on pavers?

The Techo-Bloc war­ran­ty cov­ers any dis­in­te­gra­tion and/or decom­po­si­tion of their prod­ucts (* not includ­ing Stonedge prod­ucts) result­ing from nat­ur­al caus­es and the abnor­mal dete­ri­o­ra­tion of the sur­face due to the use of sodi­um chlo­ride (NaCl) such as de-icing salt.
