WHAT IS THE ‘PLUS’ IN ENDURACOLOR PLUS? A complex blend of nature’s highest performing minerals are combined to create ultra-realistic surface textures that are exceptionally durable.

ENDURACOLOR PLUS TORTURE TEST

When immersed in a bath of muriatic acid for 5 minutes, the surface of a standard paver deteriorates while EnduraColor Plus remains as beautiful as ever.

EnduraColor products deliver durability through a perfect union: long-lasting color united with permanent strength.

The top portion of each stone is engineered with concentrated color and special wear-resistant materials. This is permanently united with the stone's base - a sturdier, coarser foundation designed for remarkable strength.
