BLUESTONE
Bluestone is a type of dense, fairly smooth sandstone quarried in the northeastern United States and used extensively for patios, gardens, walkways, and driveways.
Bluestone color and finishes are the choices you can make when deciding on which bluestone is correct for your project. There are two basic surface finishes. Natural Cleft is slightly rough, Sawn Thermal is smooth but not slippery. Natural Cleft is split along natural fault lines and the result is a slightly rough texture with distinct raised and sunken areas. Sawn Thermal is sawn and then heat-treated for a smooth finish with no raised or sunken areas. Because Sawn Thermal is sawn and then heat-treated it is typically more expensive than Natural Cleft.
When considering a bluestone walkway or patio you will be asked to choose from Four Basic Types Of Bluestone. The choices are simple and are broken down into two fundamental areas:
Color – You have two choices
Finished Texture – You have two choices
