Porphyry setts are elements whose shape roughly resembles a parallelepiped. They are used for the containment and delineation of outdoor pavements, but also as a true paving element. The various types are distinguished by their width and height, which determine their final use: the smaller types serve as elements both for paving and for the containment of other pavements; the larger ones for the formation of real kerbs.
Pavements made with setts have the characteristic of being long-lasting even with multiple mechanical stresses given by heavy traffic. This makes them ideal for urban driveway paving.
