Trentino Porphyry Binderi Paving

What are Trentino Porphyry Binderi

Porphyry binderi are blocks entirely split naturally. The two top surfaces, called "piode," are smooth and linear, while the remaining four sides, known as "coste," are machine-cut, resulting in rougher surfaces.

Uses and Applications of Porphyry Blocks

Containment Elements:

Used as curbs or borders to delimit and contain pavements.

Decorative Elements:

Installed flush with the pavement, they can create decorative geometric shapes.

Public Construction:

Used in squares, avenues, and large public areas for durable and aesthetically pleasing paving.

Paving:

Due to their strength, they can also be used as tiles for pavements that need to bear heavy loads.
