Kerb Stones serve a number of purposes:
- retaining the carriageway edge to prevent ‘spreading’ and loss of structural integrity
- acting as a barrier or demarcation between road traffic and pedestrians or verges
- providing physical ‘check’ to prevent vehicles leaving the carriageway
- forming a channel along which surface water can be drained
Whatever your requirement, A & A Elphinstone has the solution; from rich granite Conservation Kerb units to British Standard Road Kerbs, Channels and Edging. In addition, more specialist types are available in the form of a High Containment Kerb – Titan and Bus Stop Kerb.

Road kerbs serve a number of purposes:
There are many different types of road kerbs used throughout Britain and Ireland.
50 years ago, natural stone, such as granite, was the most popular, but these have now been supplanted by pre-cast concrete.
In restricted areas experiencing exceptionally heavy traffic, such as town or city centres, steel kerbs have been used to cope with the constant over-running of vehicles, and on our motorways and dual carriageways, extruded kerb lines are commonly used.
