Compare materials for your project
Bring photos, approximate measurements and material ideas. Your installer should confirm the product and installation system are suitable for the site before you order.
Concrete pavers: Explore colors such as Ice Gray and Oasis, then compare the published pattern and format options for your selected product.
Travertine: Browse options such as Ivory and Silver. Review several samples when possible so your selection reflects more than one piece.
Coping: Discuss the pool edge, steps and transitions alongside the main paving material. Confirm the profile, dimensions and quantity separately.
Use our pattern and material resources to narrow your choices. Final specifications, pricing and availability should be confirmed with Universal for the exact selection.
For contractors and builders
Send the product name, color, pattern or format, project area and job location with your material inquiry. Include the installer-approved allowance for cuts and any separate border or coping quantities. If you have a target start date, share it so the team can discuss the order requirements; an inquiry does not reserve stock or confirm delivery.
Planning ongoing purchases? Ask about a contractor account. Applications are reviewed before access is arranged. Keep the material quotation and installation scope clear for your customer.
Contractor next step: Apply for a contractor account or contact the team about your material list.
For homeowners
Compare your preferred pavers with the house exterior, pool tile and landscape. Ask about sample options before settling on a color from a screen.
Universal supplies the materials. If you need installation help, ask about referrals to independent hardscape professionals. Referral availability depends on the project and area, and the contractor is responsible for its workmanship.
Homeowner next step: Contact us to discuss materials, or prepare a request for independent installer guidance.
