Edge Treatments
The standard edge on all paving stones would be a saw cut edge.
With our natural cleft PA flagstone (bluestone), we offer a distressed
pitch edge. With this edge treatment, all the edges of each stone
are hand tooled to give a more rustic feel with old warm charm.
With our Treads and Coping, we offer a variety of hand crafted
edges. We do not offer exposed edge treatments natural cleft paving.
Flamed- Our flamed edge
is our standard edge treatment. This edge is cut 90 degrees from
the face of the stone and is torched to give the stone a more
natural look instead of a sawn edge, which can show saw marks
and other imperfections. This flamed (thermal) edge is complimentary
to the thermal finish on the top surface of all exposed edge stock.

Rocked- Our rocked edge
is an edge treatment where both the top and bottom of the desired
dressed edges are chiseled by hand to give the stone a more distinct,
rustic appearance. This edge treatment is a centuries old technique
that provides a hand cut natural feel where this look is desired.

Full Bullnose- Our full
bullnose edge treatment is another option for those who desire
a rounded over edge. This edge is thermal treated after being
rounded on the top and bottom of the stone. This edge treatment
is commonly used on pool and spa coping to create a more formal
appearance.

¾” radius round over- This
edge starts off with a thermal finish which we then round over
on any exposed edges by ¾”, creating a gentle eased
edge that can soften the edge. This treatment is great for pools,
spa coping or benches, as it is more comfortable for sitting than
other edge treatments with sharp or pointed edges. We also offer
many variations of this edge rounding to suit your project’s
requirements.
