BLUESTONE — flooring

4/5 suitability

Highly durable and hard-wearing, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor flooring. Resistant to weathering and fading. Offers natural slip resistance with certain finishes. Provides a timeless and elegant aesthetic. Can withstand heavy foot traffic.

Considerations

Traditional bluestone (sandstone/limestone) is porous and susceptible to staining and etching from acids if not properly sealed. Can be cold underfoot indoors. Can be expensive. Dark colors can absorb and retain heat in direct sunlight outdoors.
