Bluestone Pavers & Tiles

Bluestone commonly known as Basalt in Australia is a popular pick for outdoor spaces. When you're looking at Bluestone options, the key thing to understand is how tiles differ from pavers.

Their thickness. Standard tiles measure around 15mm deep, whereas pavers come in 30mm.

Tiles are excellent for outdoor areas when you've got a concrete foundation underneath - they're best suited for spaces that don't see heavy foot traffic also good for walls. Pavers goes well in outdoor settings with moderate foot traffic, such as deck areas, pool surrounds, covered porches, garden trails, and footpaths.

Both types of Bluestones will last for long, though their performance varies based on the quality of installation. The extra thickness of pavers means they hold up better and support more weight, making them the go-to option for locations facing harsh weather conditions.

• Routine Cleaning - Regular cleaning forms the foundation of Bluestone maintenance. Sweep or vacuum each day to eliminate dirt, grit, and particles that might scratch surfaces gradually. For interior spaces, a microfiber mop with lukewarm water does the job wonderfully without requiring aggressive products. For exterior pavers, a weekly water rinse clears away dust, fallen leaves, and particles. This fundamental task helps prevent staining and maintains the stone's natural appearance year-round.
• Thorough Cleaning-Monthly, provide your Bluestone Pavers and Tiles with an intensive clean. Combine a pH-balanced stone cleaning product with warm water according to package instructions. Avoid acidic solutions like vinegar or citrus-based products - these will cause irreversible surface damage. Apply the cleaning mixture using a gentle brush or mop, working in manageable sections. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and either towel-dry with a soft cloth or allow outdoor sections to air-dry naturally.
• Stain Prevention -Seal your Bluestone every 2-3 years to establish a defensive barrier against spills and environmental elements. Choose a breathable stone sealant that allows moisture to escape while blocking liquids from penetrating. When accidents happen, blot them immediately rather than rubbing, which only spreads the problem. For greasy marks, create a mixture using baking soda and water, apply overnight, then carefully remove.
• Weather-Related Maintenance - Australia's climate requires attention to seasonal variations. During wet seasons, ensure water flows properly around outdoor Bluestone to prevent standing water and possible deterioration.
• Expert Assistance - Annual professional assessments help identify minor concerns before they escalate into major repairs. Stone maintenance specialists can perform deep cleaning, resealing, and small repairs that dramatically increase how long your Bluestone Pavers endures.
