Kanstin
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Kerb or curb — a concrete or stone edge that separates a road, paving, or walkway from an adjoining surface. Kanstin is typically 10–15 cm high and 15–20 cm wide, serving both a functional role (drainage, traffic control) and a visual role (defining edges and organisation of space).
Example
An Indonesian residential street features concrete kanstin defining the edge between the paved driveway and the surrounding grass — 12 cm high and sloped for drainage, painted white or left grey concrete.
