USEFUL INFORMATION
BUILDING WITH HADDONSTONE

With its inherent strength, Haddonstone can be used in structural
situations. However, the usual practice is to use Haddonstone purely
as a decorative façade supported, where necessary, by reinforced
concrete or structural steelwork. This task, whilst not difficult, should be
carried out only under the supervision of an architect or a structural
engineer. If you intend to use the products structurally, let
Haddonstone know when you place your order, giving as much
detail as possible. You can then be advised on any ways in which
Haddonstone can simplify this work, saving you time and money.

Working in conjunction with your project architect and structural
engineer, the company can manufacture TecStone components as
structural units by incorporating reinforcement.

Where possible, Haddonstone is supplied in component form to ease
site handling. Consideration should be given to the weight of individual
components when deciding on lifting and handling procedures, with
due regard to the relevant regulations. Haddonstone’s website contains
Technical Sheets and Assembly Advice which provide specific detailed
information. We also recommend reference to Eurocode 6 and
PD 6697: 2010.
