Stone “pavers” are available in a variety of natural materials for driveway, walkway, patio and other landscape design applications. Pavers using genuine stone are fabricated with saws that are calibrated for exact dimensions. Uniformity is key to their successful installation. Natural stone pavers are far superior in appearance (they look real because they are real) and durability when compared to concrete or manufactured varieties.
Genuine cobblestone is not typically thought of as a ‘stone paver’ due to its size and irregular shape, especially if it is antique, salvaged or reclaimed. However, if the look and feel of a charming European cobblestone is what you are after, we have the answer.
Monarch Stone International, importers of the Historic European Cobblestone® collection, has the ability to provide exquisite authentic antique cobblestone as a paver – providing the top antique portion with a sawn bottom. The typical height averages 2 – 2.5” and can be ordered on most of the cobblestone sizes we reclaim and import!
In addition we have limited stock of a much thinner cobblestone in two sizes (6″x6″ and 5″x8″) in antique sandstone that has been pre-sawn @ 3/4″ to 1.5″ or 2-4cm and is ready to ship!
Thin antique cobblestone pavers can be used for interior flooring and wall veneer in addition to traditional use outdoors on walkways, driveways and courtyards! The uniqueness of each cobble is part of the genuine charm and is the reason that natural, old antique cobblestone is so appealing! With the added feature of saw-cutting or slicing the antique cobble into a thin paver, the options and uses are greatly expanded!
For installation, it is critical to understand that installing a sawn or sliced antique cobblestone paver on a sand base is not recommended due to its irregularity and inability to attain tight joints. There are no flat sides on an antique cobblestone. However, an antique cobble in a thin paver for wet setting on a concrete/mortar base, is a wonderful combination of look and function!
