Why Choose Natural Stone for Your Patio?
There are many benefits to choosing natural stone tiles for your patio.
1. Strong and Durable
Natural stone’s innate strength and durability have made it a core building material for thousands of years. Stronger than many man-made materials, it can withstand rough weather and high-traffic footfall with ease.
2. Sustainable
Formed by nature, stone is one of the most sustainable building materials available.
The processing of natural stones is incredibly simple – it simply involves cutting the tiles from the slab. This means the production of natural stone tiles generates significantly lower CO2 levels than other building materials.
In addition, natural stone tiles are not created in factories or bonded together by petroleum-based resins, nor do they release VOCs.
3. Natural, Unique, and Luxurious Style
Natural stone tiles have an organic but grand look that will stand the test of time. Their rich colours and velvety texture add a sense of warmth, comfort, and luxury to your garden.
Because they come from nature, every stone tile has its own unique colouring and veining. Your patio will be truly your own, distinct from all others.

4. Easy to Maintain
Natural stone requires very little maintenance, aside from the occasional clean. It is very hard-wearing and won’t need replacing for many years to come.
