A Word About Color

Capitol´s wide variety of color is one reason why more discriminating homeowners, architects, and professional landscapers choose our concrete paver over other types of paving materials. Of course, they are attracted to the large assortment of shapes we offer and the multitude of patterns and designs our pavers can create, but it´s our distinctive colors they really love.

We use only the finest iron oxides for long lasting, durable colors. Micro granules of pure pigment disperse into rich colors when blended with a special concrete mixture. Our pavers are saturated with color throughout, not just at the surface. If a chip does happen to occur, it will hardly be discernable.

Capitol´s Colors Run Deep

Capitol pavers are manufactured with color going all the way through from top to bottom. Some manufacturers promote a top layer face; this is where color is present only in the upper layer of the paver which is then adhered to the underlying concrete. Capitol is committed to the color through process which we believe gives our customers the highest quality product.

As a point of comparison you can think of it this way... when buying furniture do you look for plywood with a pretty veneer, or do you want the quality and peace of mind of a solid hardwood piece that will remain beautiful and keep its integrity for years to come.

Because Capitol Pavers are made from natural materials, variations in shade can be expected. Blended colors may fluctuate in color range from production run to production run, some showing more of one shade, some more of another and some a fairly even blend of both. It is imperative when installing blends to choose from several pallets to best allocate these ranges. No single color swatch or display can precisely replicate the range you may receive.
