Reclaimed Cobblestone Pavers
Step into a world of history with Reclaimed Cobblestone Pavers, showcasing a rich, timeless past harvested from old streets in America or charming European villages.

Sizing
The size and shape of Reclaimed Cobblestone Pavers are instrumental in determining the design or layout. For example, achieving the classic running bond pattern is easier with rectangles, while squares and cubes offer more flexibility in design and are more suited for fan type patterns.
Thickness
Full Bed - approximately 5”- 8”
Half Bed - approximately 2.5”- 3.5” ( European Only )
Sliced - approximately 1.25”- 2.25” ( European Only )
Thickness is primarily determined by both the installation method and type of use. A full bed cobble might be more suited to a dry-laid motor court, whereas a sliced cobble might be the perfect fit for a walkway set in a mortar bed. Sliced cobbles have also been use on interior projects for beautiful antique stone flooring.
