ᐅ Brick pavers – are they suitable for a new construction?

Hello everyone,

we are currently planning our outdoor area and are deciding on the paving stones. Our house is white/gray with anthracite-colored windows, and we quite like concrete paving stones in different shades of gray (from anthracite to light gray). However, we are concerned that the color might fade over time and the stones will end up looking all the same. RINN, Rinn Concrete and Natural Stone, offers a paving stone with a Rinnit natural stone surface, which prevents this from happening. However, it is priced in a completely different league.

The alternative to concrete paving would be brick paving, which is not available in these various shades. At new builds in our area, you rarely see brick paving, so we find it hard to imagine if it would suit our house or modern new constructions. Are there any homeowners here who have used brick paving with a similar house color?

There are also dark gray/dark red/aubergine clinker paving stones... so you should be able to find a suitable color. Honestly, I can't really imagine red here, unless you had a red roof – but nowadays almost everyone has gray roofs (unfortunately we do too, because it's a semi-detached house and the neighbors didn't want red, which is a shame).

Paving bricks are also available in shades of gray. Take a look at the IT. Of course, it’s also a matter of personal taste. Rinn (Rinn Concrete and Natural Stone) is recommended.

Best regards

Our roof is black or anthracite. I’ve already searched through half the internet for pictures, but mostly you find images of brick-faced houses or houses with a different construction style. So I thought I’d ask here. I haven’t seen any gray tones so far, only anthracite possibly mixed with reddish hues. Do you have any advice on that?

We don’t want the roof to be entirely anthracite because that feels too dark for us. We would like to set a few color accents somehow, and the concrete paving actually fits quite well for that. However, so far everyone has advised us against colored concrete products because they don’t look good for long and the color doesn’t last. We’d rather spend a bit more now and enjoy it for a long time, but it still has to look good.

Take a look at the product catalog from Wienerberger; it includes around 40 types of paving bricks. I could imagine the Stralsund style for a white/gray house.

Take a look at Tumbelton by Redsun. Brick paving is also available in gray tones!
