Top Finished Granite Setts
In addition to the natural cropped and tumbled setts we also have a range of granite setts that have a finished top surface. The two main finishes are Flamed or Blasted. This type of finish produces a very even surface and is recommended where the project requires a uniform finished surface and appearance.
Flamed Top Finish
Flamed finished granite setts are a type of textured finish that is achieved by exposing the surface of the granite to intense heat. The process involves heating the surface of the granite until it reaches a high temperature, then rapidly cooling it down with water, which causes the surface of the granite to crack and flake, leaving a textured, rough finish.
These flamed finished setts are often used for outdoor paving and cladding applications, as it provides excellent slip resistance and a natural, rustic appearance. A popular choice for driveways, patios, and walkways, as they can withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic and are highly durable.
Various Specifications
These products can be produced with a variety of specifications, for example a finished top surface of either Flamed or Blasted. The sides can be either sawn or cropped.
For your convenience, the specific top and side finishes of each product are clearly displayed in our shop. We encourage you to check all sides to make sure they meet your requirements.
Even Dimensions
Depending on the nature of the application and the requirements of the job, these types of products can be laid with a smaller joint width than natural cropped and tumbled setts. When the design calls for a more contemporary finish then the even dimensions of the finished setts can work well because of the uniformity in the sizes.
Setts In Stock
We always try to keep a number of the more popular finished products in stock. We will mainly have setts with sizes of 200x100x50mm and 100x100x50mm with a finished top. Although quantities may vary it’s always worth checking with us to see what we have in the yard. We also keep a number of products with 80mm or 100mm depth, again normally with cropped sides and finished top. Because we undertake some processing at the yard we have the facility to tumble or crop the products to the clients specifications if required.
Choose your sizing, finish and colour
Because there are so many connotations in sizes and finishes we can’t possibly stock everything, therefore often these bespoke orders are made to the clients specifications and come with a lead time, please contact us for further information and advice.
