How do I contact the order team?
Email orders@universalhardscapes.com with your order reference or product selection. An enquiry does not confirm an order or delivery date.
Can I obtain safety information for masonry sand?
The published sand page states that an MSDS is available on request. Contact Universal for the current document.
Are the outdoor design concepts completed installations?
Labeled design concepts are illustrations for inspiration. Confirm materials, colors, sizes and suitability using product information, samples and professional advice.
Which pavers stay coolest around a pool?
Lighter colors can absorb less solar heat than darker colors, but all paving can become hot in direct sun. Compare Ice Gray, Sand Stone and Siesta samples under your own conditions; Universal has not published comparative surface-temperature tests.
What should I check before sealing or pressure-washing pavers?
Read the current warranty terms before applying a sealer or using high-pressure water. The published limited warranty lists these treatments as conditions that void coverage. Ask Universal about care and compatibility before proceeding.
How much area does a cube of pavers cover?
Coverage is 118–130 sq ft per cube: Atlas 120, Olympia 130, and Troy, Milano and Valencia 118. See how many square feet a pallet of pavers covers.
