Cubico irregular
Porphyry cubes of different sizes and dimensions with natural cleft surface and split sides, used according to the kind of traffic they have to bear: cm 3-6 and cm 5-8 for pedestrian and light traffic areas, cm 7-10 for heavy traffic areas. Thanks to their shape, it is possible to create different setting patterns: overlapping arcs, a peacock tail or fan, a concentric circles and alternating arcs.

Setting patterns
OVERLAPPING ARCS
Needless to say, this is the most common setting pattern for porphyry cubes and which is suitable for any kind of surface – for both light/medium and heavy traffic.
PEACOCK TAIL OR F
This setting pattern is complex, since the pattern must be executed with extreme precision to avoid the loss of paving uniformity.
Ad archi alternati
Questa pavimentazione varia dalla classica ad archi contrastanti nell’inversione della curvatura della fila degli elementi costruttivi.
