SATICE - solar assisted thermally insulated curing enclosureWe have our own dedicated Transport Fleet

For 50 years Mona Precast (Anglesey) Ltd have been producing thehighest quality concrete blocks, bricks and paviours for the constructionindustry. Their history has included many proud moments that they arecelebrating during 2010, our birthday year.

Mona Precast are proud of their dedicated team. Many of their members have beenemployed for 20 years and are a major factor in the success of the business and a tributeto the 50 successful years they are now celebrating.


Commitment to the environmentMona Precast strived to reduce energy consumption and its impact on theenvironment from the very beginning, a challenge we continue to rise to. We useenvironmentally friendly processes wherever possible. To this end the companyhas invested in a solar powered curing building (SATICE - solar assisted thermallyinsulated curing enclosure). This harnesses the natural heat of the sun’s rays andcures the products without the use of any other source of energy.

Transport fleetTo maintain customer service at the highest possible level, Mona Precast(Anglesey) ltd operates it’s own dedicated transport fleet.

Rigid and articulated vehicles are used to deliver to builders merchantsand construction sites nationwide. All the vehicles are fitted with the latestoff loading equipment and manned by experienced, fully-trained drivers.


introduction

Mona Precast was the brainchild of Howell Jones and his son Peter.In 1960, having worked for many years in the construction industry onprojects including the Mersey Tunnel, Howell and his family came to Holyheadon Anglesey, North Wales, where father and son founded Mona Precast.

They manufactured concrete blocks and fence posts, as well as wet castproducts. Everything was made by hand – even the moulds were handcrafted.Products were made during the day and then delivered in the evening.From this modest beginning grew Mona Precast’s dedication to the productionof quality materials and a commitment to excellent customer service.

As more and more customers discovered Mona Precast, so the company grew andinvested in the latest machines and technology. It recruited and trained local people.

‘U’ value - thermal performanceSTANDARD RANGE


Part L. Thermal InsulationThe Government has announced new measures to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.The changes to Part L (conservation of fuel and power) of the Building Regulations for England& Wales are applicable from the 6th of April 2006.

The aim is to meet the requirements of The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, which aimsto further combat climate change and requires buildings to be better insulated and make use ofmore efficient heating systems. Although the performance values of the building will depend onfactors such as air permeability values, fuel type and heating efficiency, it is likely that wall “U”value of around 0.30W/m2k will be required.

Meeting the “U” value of 0.30W/m2k is easy using Mona Precast blocks, the following are a smallselection of the many options available.

general information

ww

w.m

onaprecast.com

EfflorescenceEfflorescence can appear as a milky white stain which many occur on the surface ofthe product, which can give the appearance of loss of intensity of colour in material.It is not detrimental in any way and is temporary. We cannot accept responsibilityfor it’s occurrence.

Colour variationsThe colours in this brochure are as close photographically as possible, but we wouldrecommend that you view a display before making your choice. Colour change can occur dueto the natural raw materials being of slightly different shades. We advise that all the pavioursare chosen from the same batch and that you select your paviours vertically from twodifferent pallets for the best effect.

MaintenanceTo keep up the appearance of your paviours periodic cleaning may be required. A stiff brushand clean waer should suffice. If there is a slight stain a mild detergent such as washing upliquid may be used. Where there are trees is is advisable to sweep the area regulary as theymay stain if left for long periods.

Power washing is not usually needed but if desired it is best to sweep the area well before,as debris could scratch the surface.

Proprietary cleaning agents should only be used with care as they might effect the colourover time. Always read their instructions before using.

A simple guide to laying block pavingPreparation:

Remove the top surface - soil, turf or existing slabs, etc. to a good firm base. The paving area should besurrounded by a firm edge restraint. Lay sub-base and compact thoroughly to an approximate depth of 100mm.Screed out 50mm sharp sand and compact thoroughly, then screed an extra 20mm of sharp sand but do notcompact. Once the base is smooth up to the correct level, you will be in a position to lay your block paving.

Laying your paving block:

The paviours are simply placed on the sand,depending on the pattern you require. Laying beginson the edge or corner and proceed along one layingface until complete.

Then after making sure there is no debris on thepaviours, using a rubber faced vibrating plate, passthe vibrator over the area 2/3 times to compact thearea and make it even. Finally, after making sure thatthe paviours are dry, brush kiln dried on to thepaviours and brush into the fine spaces between.Pass the rubber faced vibrator plate over the areaagain to tightly pack the sand into the joints.
