paving stones, italian porphyry

The paving block, which is a parallelepiped shape, has a natural upper face with parallel sides and cut off kerbs, generally orthogonal to the plane or slightly undercut.

Historically used for containment and the flat delimitation of cube paving and malls, paving blocks are also widely used as specific material for paving where aesthetic aspects are combined with the need for good resistance characteristics. In this sense, the numerous applications all over Europe have, over time, contributed to strengthening the role of paving blocks as a main paving element, enhancing the environmental context in which they are inserted, thereby recalling past tradition.
