Corus calls for guarantee checks

Corus Colors, the UK’s leading manufacturer of pre-coated steels, is advising specifiers, contractors and, particularly, building owners to check manufacturer’s guarantees carefully and not to assume that all are as transparent and valuable as its own industry renowned Confidex® guarantee. When checking a guarantee, Corus recommends that the guarantee should:

• Offer a clear-cut definition of the inclusions and exclusions
• Give clear guidance on coastal variations for the product performance
• Allow the free registration to be issued directly to the building owner and then transferred should the building be sold
• Offer complete restoration in the event of a claim
• Have a simple and straightforward durability statement
• Remain valid even without mandatory-recorded maintenance
