Bardenas natural stone setts: floors with the charm of old cobbled streets
The Ribera of Navarre is a land of contrasts: vegetable gardens along the Ebro, the cierzo wind sweeping across the plain and, in the distance, the Bardenas Reales, a desert of clays and sandstones carved by wind and water over thousands of years. From a quarry in our area come the Bardenas stone setts: solid pieces of natural stone, thicker than a slab, for floors with the look of the cobbled streets of old town centres.
A stone sett floor stands the test of time and, the more it is walked on, the better it looks.
🎨 Two tones of the Ribera
Tierra: light, warm brown, the colour of the Ribera fields in summer.
Gris Cierzo: sober, elegant grey, like the sky when the cierzo blows.
✨ Why choose Bardenas setts
Solid pieces: thicker than a slab, for strong and long-lasting paving.
Traditional look: the charm of cobbled streets and old courtyards.
Natural and authentic: quarried stone, with no treatments or imitations.
Locally sourced: stone extracted in the Ribera of Navarre.
🏡 Where to use them
Driveways, entrances and courtyards.
Garden paths and walkways.
Edging for flower beds, tree pits and planters.
Restoration of streets, courtyards and village houses.
🛠️ How to lay them
Prepare the base: dig out, compact the ground and spread a layer of compacted sub-base of 10-20 cm (more if vehicles will drive over it).
On sand: spread 3-5 cm of sand, lay the setts one by one, bedding them with a rubber mallet, and fill the joints with fine sand, sweeping several times.
With mortar: for heavy-use areas, bed each sett in mortar and fill the joints with mortar or grout.
Edges: finish the sides with a kerb or a row of setts set in mortar so the paving does not spread.
Fall: leave a 1-2 % fall so that water does not pool.
⚠️ Pallet coverage
The 10 m² per pallet is approximate and depends on the laying pattern and the joint width. Allow 10 % extra area for edges and cut pieces.
🚚 Delivery
Sold by full pallet only. Unloading is done by a truck with a tail lift at street level, at the kerb: make sure there is a firm, level access area. Read the delivery conditions before placing your order.
🪨 Natural stone: every pallet is unique. Size, shape, thickness and tone vary from piece to piece and from the photos, which are for guidance only. Mix pieces from different layers of the pallet when laying to spread colours and shapes. It is the signature of an authentic material, not a defect.
