2 Creating pedestrian-friendly spaces with high water permeability and temperature control effects

The bricks of the Neo Series™ have permeable holes that allow rainwater to percolate efficiently into the ground. This maintains the comfort of the walking space even in rainy weather and contributes to the convenience of the urban environment. The permeable pore structure is difficult to visually distinguish, making it difficult to clog.
Non-permeable type can be selected depending on the application.

3 Fade-resistant and long-lasting aesthetic appeal

Neo Series™ is a brick that achieves high strength by firing at high temperatures.
The components in the raw materials produce natural coloration, which is resistant to aging due to ultraviolet rays and other factors, and the colors do not fade easily.
Its high weather resistance and durability enable it to maintain its aesthetic appearance over a long period of time.
