Warranty and Terms
The five year warranty covers the following:
Cracking
Hairline cracks which form within the first year of installation.
Structural cracks that separate sufficiently to allow insertion of a dime to a depth of half its diameter.
Structural cracks that displace adjacent pads more than 1/8” in elevation relative to each other.
Scaling
Surface pealing in excess of 1/16” depth occurring in greater than 10% of any one concrete section’s surface area due to defects in material or workmanship.
Rock Pops
