To understand the most significant differences between standard and noble surfaces, it is necessary to refer to the manufacturing process itself. The times when paving stones and slabs were made with a concrete mixer and human hands are long gone. Today, concrete products are created with the help of machines based on specialized formulas, using a variety of raw materials. In contrast to standard products, BRUK noble products are subject to specialized treatment and coloring methods that affect their high aesthetic and usable values, durability and functionality.
| TYPES OF BRUK SURFACES – COMPARISON | ||
| Standard surface | Noble surface | |
| High durability and functionality | yes | yes |
| Treatments improving aesthetic and functional values: | no | yes: depending on the surface type:
|
| Special raw materials, including noble ones | no | yes: depending on the surface type: white cement, inorganic pigments, high-grade aggregates. |
| Number of surface types: | 1 type:
|
several types:
|
| Colors | A few basic ones: graphite, gray and red. | Dozens: depending on the surface type |
For an even better understanding of what characterizes each noble surface, it is useful to read an in-depth description of each of them:

A very important feature of Bruk noble surfaces is the use of original technologies in the production process, called Bruk Color Quality and Bruk Protect Quality. Depending on the type of surface, the systems can be used together or separately:
| ORIGINAL TECHNOLOGIES OF NOBLE SURFACES | ||
| Bruk Color Quality (BCQ) is a technology mainly based on the careful selection of raw materials and the use of white cement and inorganic dyes. Thanks to this, the products are given intense and long-lasting colors | Bruk Protect Quality (BPQ) is an impregnation system improving the stones resistance to moisture and dirt, facilitating cleaning, protecting the surface against penetration of rainwater, thanks to which the paving stones do not crack, do not peel in freezing temperatures and the formation of lime deposit is hindered. | Bruk Eco Quality (BEQ) is an innovative formula based primarily on the optimization of the production process and the use of raw materials reducing the carbon footprint of concrete, and thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. |
