• The choise of Architects

Whether granite setts for driveways and paths or larger civic areas; more and more architects and developers are being asked to use good old-fashioned street granite setts, instead of the other less robust and less visually pleasing methods of hard-pave construction. It is the type of floor more resistant and durable on the market, being hard and permeable.

It would be difficult, if not impossible to find another product that looks the same visually stunning and spectacular as the granite setts to the driveway, patio or recreational area.
