Over time, exposure to the sun and the elements may cause some colour fading. However, this can be minimized by applying a high-quality sealant, which helps preserve the original vibrancy of the pavers. Sealing is particularly recommended in high-traffic or outdoor areas where pavers are exposed to harsh weather conditions. For more information on preventing colour fade and sealing options, please see our installation guides or contact our technical team.

Efflorescence is a natural occurrence where white salt deposits may appear on the surface of concrete or stone pavers. While it’s harmless, it can affect the appearance of your pavers.
