Watsontown Brick Co. has introduced a new tumbled look for its Luzerne Paver. Using a combination of native red Pennsylvania shale and imported yellow clay, the regular Luzerne Paver is tumbled with black and white paint to achieve the desired distressed and rustic appearance, with the look of used brick. Sized at 2.25 x 3.75 x 7.5 inches, this has been a popular style and color in the New York market so far. The photo illustrates a recent installation at a residence in Long Island, N.Y.
