Porphyry kerbs are thick, roughly rectangular stones with an upper exposed face (head), two longer faces, of which one in sight and one hidden (sides) and two smaller faces (joints).
Uses of kerbs
Kerbs are generally used to separate and limit differing areas: sidewalks, flowerbeds, gardens, bicycle routes, street verges etc.
Characteristics of kerbstones
The head thickness can be 5-6-7-8-9-10-12-15 cm, the height of the side is variable (standard 20/25 cm) or fixed according to needs, while the length is usually random; kerbs of fixed length can be supplied to order.
