Tumbled granite paving stones: characteristics of an “antique” material

Nowadays, it has become fashionable to use an “antique” style when designing country and city cottages. To achieve the desired look, it is necessary to use suitable materials. This also applies to areas with paths around the house and garden paths. Modern tiles will disrupt the retro style, as they look too new. Therefore, for such cases, chipped paving stones made of granite are available in Ukraine — a rather specific material that has all the advantages of granite and gives surfaces the appearance of an old 300-year-old pavement.

Production features

Granum Group manufactures high-quality tumbled paving stones using reliable Ukrainian granite as a base. Tumbled granite paving stones in Kiev are a material obtained as a result of tumbling—processing in a special mixer. This is a large rotating metal drum inside which stones move freely and knock against each other. As a result, all sharp corners are rounded off and the surface acquires an “antique” appearance. The resemblance to medieval paving is almost 100%.

Tumbled paving stones have other names as well. They are called rolled, rolled, or simply “old town.” In appearance, it resembles granite cobblestones without sharp corners, with a beautifully pronounced stone texture. The color depends on the shade of the granite used. Our range includes a fairly wide range of colors.

The tumbling stage is carried out on ready-made paving stones. In other words, the production process consists of two stages: the production of granite paving stones of the correct shape, followed by processing of this material in a mixer. This is a rather complex task that requires compliance with technological requirements. This is the only way to obtain a beautiful and durable finished product.

Our production facilities enable us to ensure that the finished tumbled granite paving stones have smooth, attractive surfaces and meet the specified parameters after mechanical processing. Natural polishing in mixers results in stones with a pleasant, non-slip surface.
