Belgard Launches Newest Paver Texture, Papyrus, Nationwide

Artisan-style paver adds natural elegance to outdoor living spaces

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belgard®, the leader in outdoor living essentials, announces the availability of its newest paver texture, Papyrus™, nationwide. Papyrus is the latest concrete paver addition to Belgard’s Artisan Collection, which offers new and unique textures designed for elegant, contemporary outdoor living.

Reminiscent of handmade textiles or dried earth, Papyrus embodies the spirit of biophilic design, which is centered on incorporating organic elements and textures into the built environment. Homeowners are increasingly interested in organic design elements that can create a more livable backyard space.

“We developed Papyrus as a product to meet the design preferences of today’s homeowner. It offers clean, modern edges with a unique face that mimics the look of hand-tooled striations and the texture of organic textiles,” says Joe Raboine, Vice President of Design, Oldcastle APG. “The texture and design are on-trend, and the modular system offers benefits to both the contractor and the homeowner. We’re excited to offer this product nationwide and to see it come to life in projects across the country.”

Papyrus concrete pavers are the newest texture of Belgard’s modular paver line, which includes pavers that are all sized in 3-inch increments. This simplifies the design and installation of paver systems, creating efficiencies for both contractors and homeowners. The Papyrus paver line is a three-piece system that effortlessly blends with Origins™ stone textured pavers, Dimensions™ smooth face pavers, and other regionally available modular paver systems. Belgard’s modular concrete paver system provides homeowners and contractors more design flexibility and creativity, making it simple to mix and match pavers to suit your style and vision, while also reducing costs, waste, and installation timing.

Belgard is pleased to offer two trend-forward color options of Papyrus nationally – Scandina Grey and Sepia. For more information, visit Belgard’s Papyrus page, or contact your local Belgard contractor or local Belgard dealer.
