In a move that will provide even greater design flexibility to architects and designers, Tectura Designs has added an unparalleled four-color blending process to its portfolio of concrete rooftop, on-grade, and architectural pavers. The new four-color blends provide customers complete creative control and the ability to create one-of-a-kind gradients. Tectura Designs’ new Stone River series is the first line to feature this four-color blending, offering six standard color blends as a demonstration of the new capability.
