What is flagstone?
One important thing to note about “flagstone” is that it is not one specific type of stone, but rather the style or pattern of a particular installation. Stones which are most commonly cut into flagstones include slate, bluestone, quartzite, limestone, or sandstone. The flagstones themselves are generally between 3/8” and 1” in thickness and come in cleft and honed finishes. Interior flagstones may also be given a polished finish, but exterior ones typically are not. Flagstones as a whole are quite durable, but some stones are, of course harder than others. A comprehensive knowledge of the compositions and requirements of specific stone types is one of the advantages of having our expert technicians care for your flagstone surfaces.
