Oak Setts

A truly unique and natural hardwood paving product traditionally made as the original wooden cobble used to pave the streets of London in the late 1800's. Oak setts have been uncovered in SHeffield and in Scottish Ports where production and bulk storage of flammable goods was prevalent. Originally created to reduce noise from the steel cart wheels and the hooves of carriage horses, wooden paving was the perfect solution for heavily trafficked streets and before the invention of asphalt and Tarmacadam. Oak Setts also eliminated the risk of sparks, which steel shod hooves would create on granite or stone cobbles, and this is why wooden paving became a safe option in areas where storage of gun powder and flax for rope making was common.

Oak Setts are made of material from well managed forests and other controlled sources, providing a complete peace of mind when specifying this product. These inspiring setts have individual character and warmth which is wonderfully captured in the varying end grain which has been formed by nature itself. Oak Setts have been thoroughly tested for slip resistance in each finish and the results show why this amazing paving material is a great choice for both exterior and interior applications.

Produced from sustainably managed forests, these inspiring setts have individual character and warmth, which is wonderfully displayed in the varying end grain. Available in 3 finishes, Charred, Oiled & natural, bespoke sizes & finishes available upon request.
