Used paving

Used paving is a popular choice for those looking for a way to create a walkable area. In addition, paving contributes to the atmosphere in your garden. Because we extract the paving from and around old buildings, you will find a beautiful stock of antique paving that brings a piece of history with it. These pavings are not only environmentally friendly through reuse, but also bring an exceptional amount of atmosphere and warmth.

The advantages of used paving:

• Environmentally friendly: By reusing paving, you contribute to a sustainable future.
• Unique appearance: The stones have a unique character, which ensures an authentic appearance.
• No aging: Because the stones are already old and not perfect, it is not noticeable if a spot comes in or a piece breaks off.

Antique paving for different purposes

Antique paving is versatile and can be applied in different ways. Most people use paving for the garden, a driveway or creating a terrace. It is also sometimes used to realize indoor floors of old clinkers.

Paving for the garden: A well-designed garden starts with the right paving. Take into account the style of the used paving here. The old pavings can differ in the type of stone, style and color. Farm yellows are for example more yellow and provide a rustic appearance. Used paving for the garden works perfectly for walking paths and seating areas.

Paving for the driveway: Used pavings for a driveway are not only functional but also visually attractive. They are therefore real atmosphere determiners. The stones are strong enough to carry the weight of cars. Used pavings can give the driveway a robust and antique appearance. Think for example of farm yellows or other fired clinkers that are perfect for creating a sturdy and stylish driveway.

Clinkers for indoors: It regularly happens that people take a floor of antique clinkers, this is then beautifully closely jointed so that it is easy to maintain and no dirt gets in between. An indoor floor of old used street stones is a completely different level of bringing atmosphere into the house.

In addition to the garden and driveway, you can use second-hand paving for multiple construction projects such as a terrace or flower beds.

What types of paving do we have?

We do many different projects and encounter different types of paving. However, in the past, not many different types of paving were made in the Netherlands, which limits the choice. We no longer have the old Dutch bricks and their variants due to the enormous run on them and because we are mainly focused on old facade stones and antique floor tiles.

Yellows and farm yellows: Yellows, also known as farm yellows, are small, yellow bricks that create a warm atmosphere. They get their color from the clay they are made of. Farm yellows mainly come from old farms. They are ideal stones for decorative paths, terraces and smaller paving projects.

IJssel clinkers and IJssel stones: IJssel clinkers, often also called IJssel stones, are smaller bricks from the region along the IJssel. Also with IJssel clinkers, the type of clay influences the color. They are special because of the history behind the stones. IJssel clinkers are also ideal for decorative paths in the garden. These are also suitable for a driveway.

What should you pay attention to when buying antique used paving?

When choosing used paving, there are some important factors to take into account. First, it is important that you pay attention to the quality of the stones. High quality leads to a longer lifespan. At Van Dillen Antique Building Materials, all stones are carefully checked and cleaned so that you always have high quality stones.

When choosing paving, it is important that the style and appearance fits the project. Yellows can add a warm charm while IJssel stones give more of a traditional look. Moreover, the way of paving also has an influence on the style. A pattern of paving always stands out and is therefore very decisive for the atmosphere. In addition to taking the style into account, the function of the stone is also important. Think for example of the load-bearing capacity of the stones for a driveway.
