WAUSAU, Wis. - Tectura Designs, the leading manufacturer of concrete rooftop and on-grade pavers for commercial architecture, has added an expansive new paver manufacturing facility that gives architects and designers new color blending options, sizes and custom capabilities.
 
Tectura Designs' massive new paver manufacturing facility spans 100,000 square feet and substantially increases production speed and capacity while providing the highest-performance products that Tectura Designs is known for. The facility features cutting-edge machinery that offers:
 
• Endless color options, four-color blending for one-of-a-kind gradients, and an exclusive standard palette 
• More than 60 standard sizes, including large, thick profiles, and an amazing range of custom options 
• An extensive array of styles, finishes and surface textures 
• Self-spacing lugs available for every paver to cut installation time and cost 
• A huge library of samples and aggregate combinations to choose from 
• H-20, H-25, HS-20 and HS-25 loading capabilities for both light and heavyweight vehicular traffic 
 
"We've made the strongest, longest-lasting concrete pavers on the market for more than 40 years, and now we're giving our customers even more creative control," said Rodney Dombrowski, paving division manager for Tectura Designs. "As we've started to tell architects about what this new facility can do for them, they can barely contain their excitement. I'm really looking forward to seeing what some of our customers can do with these new capabilities."
 
In addition to manufacturing beautiful, durable pavers - which offer unique design elements such as blasted glass and recycled porcelain - Tectura Designs has also developed an innovative system for securing rooftop pavers. Tectura's Lok Down product is a proprietary pedestal system that's tested to withstand wind speeds of more than 145 miles per hour, making it an ideal solution for areas in which tall buildings experience strong wind uplift forces.
 
Tectura Designs, a Wausau Tile Inc. brand, also manufacturers one-of-a-kind site furnishings, custom precast concrete installations, terrazzo tile and custom precast terrazzo. Those products can be found on Main Streets across the country and at iconic destinations such as Mount Rushmore, the U.S. Capitol or the Guggenheim Museum.
