kerbs, basalt

Basalt kerbs, or curbs are produced from blocks. The main processing is hammering on sawn sides with chamfering, but other finishes are also possible. Basalt kerbs can also be made by mechanical breakage, with severing or rifling finishing. Kerns can be produced with different curves or with cuts (vents) fo rainwater drainage. When laid vertically kerbs are used for the formation of pavements, flower beds and for the delimitation of paved areas. When used as risers to connect various walking surfaces along stairways the aesthetic result that is obtained is enhanced by the contemporary functional significance that facilitates vision when changing levels, with huge strong points for pedestrians. They can be combined with other products of the same material or associated with other stones allowing considerable freedom of aesthetic choice.
