@Kelly Fuchs, I have Artistic Paver Shellock pavers in Ivory in my new build. I chose them because a family friend had them on their lanai and pool deck for 12 years and were very happy with them. My friends decided to move and build, just before we built, and they used them again in their new house.

I wanted a light off-white color and relatively easy maintenance. We have been in for 5 months, but still had construction going on and our pool screen enclosure was only finished this week. The pavers still look good after all the dirt and mess the last few months.

You see them used in outdoor malls, sidewalks and public/club pools, so they are quite durable. They are supposed to stay cooler to the touch compared to other pavers. I have dogs who eat raw bones outside and a DH who isn't careful, so durability was very important.

I have shellstone pavers. They can be brittle and chip at the corners. The tiles crack easily and they are a pain to keep clean because they are porous.

The shellstone is beautiful!

I"m trying to research the difference!!!! Let me know if you figured this out! We installed shellstone around pool and all this rust stuff is coming thru. Looks terrible! They also installed it on the spa top but I think this may be shelllock. It's not changing color. But I don't know if that is because the material or that it's not on the ground which may be a reason my stones are changing! I'm dying! So trying to do some research!

The difference is easy.

Shellstone is a natural stone, similar to marble.

Shellock from Artistic Pavers is a man made concrete paver with shells mixed into the concrete.
