CED keep numerous styles of natural stone setts in stock for residential, public or commercial applications.
Riven Setts are available in Sandstone and Limestone and will provide a homely and authentic feel to any garden or landscape scheme.
Cropped Setts or 'cobbles' as they are sometimes referred to, have been around since Roman times. Almost indestructible, these setts can be purley functional as a hard wearing-course for roads and pathways however by utilising the range of colours and sizes now available, they can now be used for aesthetic reasons as well, providing atractive and varied textures. Cropped setts are available in Granite and Basalt.
Porphyry Setts are exceptional with excellent flexural strength and a low water absorption. The beautifully varied colours of Porphyry provide a wonderful ability to mask dirt and stains and visually, the ability to sit happily alongside new and old materials alike. Porphyry is commonly used across Europe and will be most recognised for laying in fan and arc patterns. Porphyry Setts are superb for use in town centres, market places, driveways and patios.
Imperial Setts are available in Granite and Basalt. They have a sawn and textured top surface with split or sawn sides. They are held in stock, throughout CED's nationwide depots, in two different sizes however they can also be produced to order in any size required.
Temple Setts are produced from Granite, Basalt and Porphyry. Starting with cropped sides, a sawn bottom and a sawn and textured top, they are then tumbled to achieve smooth and softer edges. Their general appearance is remarkably similar to that of old granite setts. When compared wth reclaimed material, the beauty of Temple Setts is their standard dimensions that make laying far easier and their flat top surface makes them suitable for disabled access areas.
