Sesame Grey cobblestones display the exquisite patterning of fine-grained granite. Small inclusions of black, grey and white create an overall appearance of a light- to medium-grey stone. Granite is exceptionally durable, resistant to weathering and is the premier stone for load-bearing ability. These cobblestones work well in driveways and other high-traffic applications. The roughened, exfoliated surface allows more grip and reduces skidding, an important consideration for sloped driveways and entryways.

The small size and textured surface provide traction to slopes and wet surfaces.
Filleti stone echoes European traditions of durable, attractive paving. Long, narrow pieces of stone of varying lengths give a textured look to your landscape, courtyard or driveway. The combined compressive and flexural strength of natural slate provides an ideal surface for heavy loads. Filetti slate’s impermeable structure, resistance to harsh climate conditions and slip-resistant features make it practical for exterior applications that receive direct sunlight or rain.
The warm hues of grey complement any design and colour scheme. Filetti works well with curved designs, including paths, borders, courtyards and driveways. It can also be used indoors around fireplaces, as entryways or as flooring. Filetti paving complements architectural styles from classic to modern.
Thickness ranges from 30 mm to 50 mm. Width varies between 30 mm and 60 mm.
Italian Porphyry is an extremely durable igneous rock. Its fine-grained matrix forms a crystalline background displaying larger inclusions of quartz, feldspar and other colourful minerals. Porphyry is highly resistant to frost, high temperatures and rapid temperature changes. It withstands mechanical stress, making it suitable for driveways, roadways and other high-traffic areas.
Italian Porphyry comes in a wide range of colours, including warm purples, greys, brown, tan and rose. The split finish highlights the grain and beauty of the colours. The result is a versatile tonal quality that works with any colour palette.
Cobblestones can come in various stone options. Our selection includes granite, basalt, marble, limestone and porphyry cobblestones in multiple colours that blend in with any outdoor environment. There are three types of cobblestones: loose, mesh and slimline.
Loose cobblestones are loose pieces of stone that have broken apart from blocks. Split all around, they can look vintage compared to other cobblestones.
Mesh cobblestone comes fixed, making it appear as a big carpet. It is prepared as a pattern, making it quicker to install. This type of cobblestone will have mesh backing.
Slimline cobblestones can also be referred to as uniform loose cobblestones. Narrow and shorter, they have matching rectangular shapes to give it a more uniform appearance when laid.
In addition to the different types of cobblestones, many different finishes are available. The most common surface finishes for cobblestones include bush-hammered, split-finish, sandblasted, tumbled and exfoliated. Each finish gives a distinctive look, accentuates specific characteristics and attributes of the mineral inclusions and creates a slip-resistant surface.
