INERT BUILDING MATERIALS IN CIMADOLMO: THE COBBLESTONE EXPERTS

Gemme del Piave is the product line produced by Zanardo Srl, a company specialising in the excavation and processing of inert materials for the building industry based in Cimadolmo, in the province of Treviso. The pebbles used to make cobblestones, splits and decorations come directly from the Piave river. They are carefully chosen and crafted. They are classified by size and colour and can be used in different types of work,

especially for paving and street furniture.

Cobblestones are often used in restoration work and in the design of squares and streets. One of the most sought-after and appreciated products made by Gemme del Piave is cut cobblestones, a Piave stone cut into slices, ideal for creating smooth pavings that go well with various furnishing combinations, even with different materials.

COBBLESTONES

This is the typical stone easy to encounter when walking along the Piave riverbed. With its round shape and smooth surface, its colour varies from dark grey to pearl white.
Its different shades make it perfect for the creation of unique and original pavings. It is often used for city paving, squares or streets.

CUT STONE

Cut stone can be regarded as a modern version of cobblestones. Piave stones are cut and
laid like normal tiles.
The flat part, where the cut is made, is very comfortable and is ideal for flat surfaces. It is a
very functional and comfortable solution.

CUBES

The cubes originate from a special processing of Piave pebbles. The pebbles are stripped of
their rounded ends and thus made flat on both sides.

They are ideal for paving high traffic areas such as streets and squares.

SPLIT

The 'spaccato' consists of Piave pebbles with a so-called split face, the result of splitting the original pebble into two parts.
Usually this product is used for the composition of walled facing, but it is also suitable for outdoor paving.

DECORATIONS AND MARBLES

Marble is a crystalline, compact rock. It owes its name to its polished appearance; in fact, the word 'marble' in ancient Greek means 'shining stone'.
Its particular texture depends on a change in shape due to factors such as temperature and pressure.
