Product Technology
Creating beautiful, functional and sustainable outdoor spaces requires products that deliver high performance and everlasting beauty—qualities that are at the core of Unilock products manufactured with EnduraColor technology.
- Superior Strength
- Wear-resistant Surface
- Brilliant Color
The refined surface of Unilock EnduraColor products is achieved with a two-step manufacturing process. It combines a base of coarser aggregates for a stronger foundation, with an embedded top layer of concentrated color and wear-resistant fine aggregates, like granite and quartz. This process protects the surface from the appearance of fading over time – making EnduraColor products suitable for a wide range of applications from pedestrian and permeable to heavy-duty.
A variety of finishes are available featuring EnduraColor Technology. From smooth to flagstone, brushed to exposed granite and the truly unique mottled finishes, there is a style for every project that will allow designers to execute their full creative vision.
Sustainable landscape architecture is essential in today’s outdoor and urban environment. Permeable pavers allow landscape architects and designers to contribute to stormwater management, conserve water and improve water quality on-site creating sustainable, yet beautiful solutions.
- Reduce or Eliminate Stormwater Runoff
- Improve Local Water Quality
- Achieve Sustainability Goals
The increased frequency and intensity of storms, flooding and snowmelt events, combined with commonly used impervious surfaces in urban environments, has increased stormwater runoff. This excess runoff overwhelms stormwater management systems and leads to the contamination of local waterways. All Unilock permeable pavers are manufactured with spacer bars, resulting in joint gaps that allow for rapid infiltration of water into the subbase, easing the negative effects of stormwater runoff.
Unilock was the first manufacturer to introduce a permeable paver to North America in 1991 and has continued to lead the charge with new, innovative product options. We offer the most extensive collection of permeable products in the market today, appropriate for applications from pedestrian to heavy-duty vehicular. The styles include modern, geometric, historic or traditional allowing you to create beautiful, environmentally conscious sites.
Unlike after-market sealers, which merely coat the top, EasyClean™ goes beyond the surface, infusing a factory-sealed coating into the product during manufacturing for integral stain resistance.
- Integral Stain Resistance
- Factory Sealed
- Easier Cleanup of Spills
Traditional concrete has capillaries, which allow dirt and moisture to penetrate its surface. EasyClean™ helps seal the gaps of those capillaries on the surface, granting pavers a fine layer of protection. This helps keep spills from ketchup, leaves, coffee or wine from settling in.
Like natural stone, concrete has fine capillaries which can be penetrated by moisture and dirt. EasyClean permeates into the paver and seals the gaps, making spills and other debris, like leaves, coffee, wine, and oil, easier to clean before a stain can develop. EasyClean also provides added surface protection from everyday wear and tear while subtly enhancing colors.
Products manufactured with EasyClean are designed to be used in high-traffic outdoor spaces and lead to a noticeable reduction in maintenance and associated costs over the life-cycle of your project. EasyClean pavers are an ideal choice for amenity spaces, pedestrian plazas and roof decks because they allow functional and durable surfaces that are resistant to stains.
ColorFusion combines the timeless look of strong, beautiful, natural granite with contemporary manufacturing technologies – creating unique concrete products that offer a realistic surface texture and exceptional durability.
- Granite Appearance
- High Color Stability
- Random Dispersion of Color Particles
With ColorFusion, a special manufacturing process is used that delivers the look of natural granite surfaces. Specifically, we employ a rare type of cement to produce white tones that, when mixed in with colors and actual granite particles, create a unique mottled surface. The result is a breathtaking surface that resembles natural granite.
ColorFusion technology delivers a product that looks like natural granite and is more cost-effective than natural stone. Available in a stunning assortment of colors and in a variety of shapes and sizes, from slab and plank, to rectangle and hex, the selections will allow you to find the right product to achieve your vision, whether designing a permeable paving system or a roof deck amenity space.
Creating realistic textures that authentically replicate classic building materials requires unique patented technology to embody the genuine look and feel. At Unilock, we’ve been capturing this since 2004 with our unique Reala technology.
- Authentic Appearance
- Enhanced Surface Details
- Consistent Dimensions
With our patented Reala technology, a multitude of genuine stone surfaces, brick and historic cobblestones are cast to create a wide variety of authentic textures. By randomizing the casting process, we can ensure that any paver installation avoids repetition, no matter how large or small the project. Products with Reala technology are also guaranteed to have consistent dimensions, allowing for a more efficient and cost-effective install.
From the timeworn look of European cobblestones to the luxury of riven natural stone slabs, Reala technology creates styles you can’t get anywhere else. Whether revitalizing a historic downtown, retrofitting an old building, or creating a new outdoor space with classic charm and old-world flair, look no further than Reala from Unilock.

Artista, a proprietary Unilock technology, is a process that creates a distinctive mottled texture similar to granite. The Unilock suite of innovative technologies allows us to deliver tough-performing pavers in a stunning array of colors and styles.
- Granite Appearance
- Random Color Dispersion
- Exceptional colorfastness
Unlike other Unilock technologies that blend color into the concrete mix, Artista randomly disperses flecks of colors across the top of the paver. This technique creates a colorfast, unique, and refined surface that’s strong enough to compete with granite. Available in all Granito finish pavers, its distinctive texture and unparalleled appearance offers the chance to make a subtle visual statement on any landscape design.
