Bluestone Versus Flagstone: What’s The Difference?

There are many beautiful elements you can add to your home’s exterior that not only increase the equity in your home but drastically increase curb appeal. From natural landscapes to unique design accents, there are options for homeowners with many different styles.

Prekrasne kamene šetnice, terase i vrtovi

Jedan od popularnih načina da poboljšate ljepotu svog doma je primamljiva šetnica, terasa ili vrtni naglasak. Dok se neki odlučuju koristiti cigle ili uređenje okoliša, jedan trend koji dobiva na popularnosti je korištenje kamena. Evo dvije opcije koje vole naši klijenti.

Poboljšajte svoj hod uz Flagstone

Ploča je sedimentna stijena koja se obično sastoji od pješčenjaka povezanog mineralima poput silicija, kalcita ili željezne rude. Ravni kamen savršen je kao kamen za popločavanje i često se koristi za šetnice, terase i zidne projekte. Kamen se također može rezati i oblikovati na različite načine, što omogućuje jedinstvene uzorke.

Flagstone is known and loved for its rich texture in a broad range of colors – browns, grays, gold, and blues. It’s a great choice for a more rustic look, and it preserves a green and earthy element in your landscaped area.

Imajte na umu da ni pločasti kamen ni plavi kamen nisu škriljevac koji se ne bi trebao koristiti jer je VRLO sklizak kada je mokar i brzo se raslojava.

Korak iznad s Bluestoneom

Many may not know that bluestone is technically a form of flagstone. This sedimentary rock is formed by the fusing of particles deposited by rivers, oceans, and lakes. It typically has a moderately textured surface. Bluestone comes in bluish and gray shades, but ‘full color’ has other tones mixed in.

Bluestone is sturdier. It comes in natural cleft and select grades. It’s a bit more resilient against elements, making it weather-resistant. Bluestone guarantees a classic look, even among plants and other greenery.

The downside of bluestone? It’s a bit more expensive and has a more formal look.

Pronalaženje kamena za vaš dom

If you’re still not sure which stone to use for your landscaping project, think of what your stone will be regularly exposed to. If the stone is near a pool, your best bet is to go with bluestone. It’s important to keep in mind that bluestone is a dark-colored stone that retains more heat than lighter-colored flagstones and can be the more expensive option between the two.

Kad se sve svodi na to, obje su izvrsne opcije i vaša se konačna odluka može temeljiti na cjelokupnom izgledu kamena. Jedinstvena boja plavog kamena ističe se u krajoliku, dok se neutralne kamene ploče stapaju i postaju dio krajolika.
