Stone × Application

BLUESTONE — commercial flooring

4/5 suitability

Highly durable, hard-wearing, and resistant to wear, chipping, and fading, making it suitable for high-traffic commercial areas. Excellent freeze-thaw resistance. Offers natural slip resistance with certain finishes. Provides a timeless and elegant aesthetic.

Considerations

Traditional bluestone (sandstone/limestone) is porous and susceptible to staining and etching if not properly sealed. Can be expensive. Can be heavy, requiring professional installation and potentially higher structural requirements.

  • Thickness: 0.75-2.5 inches (2-6.3 cm) for tiles/pavers, depending on traffic and substrate.
