OS PROS E CONTRAS DUN PATIO FLAGSTONE-flagstones

PROS

A lastra é duradeira. Mentres o coides e non se produza ningún accidente, a pedra pode durar séculos. Si, séculos. Hai fitos arquitectónicos que aínda presentan lastra, polo que sabemos que a pedra resiste o paso do tempo.

The stone is easy to install. You don’t have to cut out the stone to fit the nooks and crannies, and you don’t have to mortar it. Flagstone can be installed stone by stone, and even amateurs can achieve a beautiful look with a DIY project. The stone just has to be pieced together, but because of the natural edges, the overall look is very forgiving, so you don’t have to get exact matches and even spacing.

Flagstone stands up to the extreme climate in Arizona. You don’t have to worry about the stone expanding or contracting as the temperatures bounce from one extreme to the other. Flagstone won’t crack, and it won’t shift position because of the changing temperatures.

The stone is easy to maintain. You don’t have to do anything to flagstone to keep it looking good except sweep it or spray it down. If any stains set in, such as from mold, you can remove them with a mix of bleach and water. If you ever do get a broken stone, such as from an accident, you can easily replace it by lifting out the broken stone and laying down a new one. You don’t have to worry with grout or mortar.

CONS

While there are some drawbacks to flagstone, you’ll find that they are minimal, and that the benefits far outweigh them.

Aínda que lastra is technically easy to install, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to install. The stones are quite heavy, so you better be prepared to put in some good sweat equity or to pay someone to do the installation for you. You’ll also spend a bit of time piecing the stones together in a way that you think is pleasing.

Flagstone pode soportar temperaturas extremas, pero non é inmune a elas. A lousa pode facerse moi quente ao sol e pode volverse moi esvaradío baixo a choiva. Dado que as temperaturas quentes e as fortes choivas son comúns en Arizona, podes considerar engadir unha cuberta ao teu patio para evitar estes inconvenientes.

Finalmente, se instalas lousas sobre un leito de area, pode que teñas que axustala a medida que a area e o terreo debaixo desta se nivelan. Pode evitar este problema se instala a pedra con morteiro de formigón.
With that installation, you will get permanent results and won’t have to make any changes or adjustments after the patio is finished.

Lastra does have a few drawbacks, just like any natural stone, depending on your perspective. But when you look at the larger picture, it’s easy to see that flagstone offers many more benefits. It is a beautiful and long-lasting stone that will require little maintenance over the years. Meanwhile, it will give you the same look and performance year after year, saving you money and the aggravation of replacing a patio you don’t really want to replace. Consider installing a flagstone patio in your Mesa home.
