6 TECHNICAL PERFORMANCES PERFORMANCE VOLATILE ORGANIC TESTS COMPOUNDS (VOCs) Nonexhaustive list. See the technical documentation for s for more details Solar Reflectance (RS) ASTM E903 Colors Gray Stanstead Light gray Beige gray Beige Solar Reflectance (SR) (Granitech finish), (Buffed finish) (Standard finish), (Granitech finish), (Buffed finish) 0.48 (Granitech finish), (Buffed finish) (Granitech finish), 0.37 (Buffed finish) WARRANTY VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCs) 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 fulltext 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. MANUFACTURER'S ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM MANUFACTURER'S PERFORMANCE TESTS 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 ecoresponsibility by producing environmentallyfriendly 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 postconsumer 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 palecolored pavers and slabs with a high solar reflectance index, or through the use of vegetated honeycomb paving such as Boulevard Verde pavers.
