Brisbane Bluestone Tiles

Bluestone is also commonly known as basalt. Basalt is an igneous rock which is mainly made up of feldspar. It’s usually grey to black in colour and fine grained, which is due to the rapid cooling of lava. The surface of bluestone tiles and pavers have small holes on them and this is caused naturally as a result of gases escaping during the cooling process – it is one of the beautiful features that sets bluestone apart.

Bluestone is commonly used on internal flooring as well landscaping applications. One of its greatest features is the amazing slip and scratch resistance.

Cleaning Bluestone Tiles

Bluestone should be vacuumed and swept regularly to prevent dirt and dust build up, as if left for a prolonged period of time it can prove difficult to remove due to the tiny holes on the surface of this unique stone. Acidic cleaners should be avoided as they can etch the stone and cause permanent damage. Mild, soapy warm water is ideal for mopping bluestone or a neutral ph cleaner with a microfiber mop.

Pavers will require high pressure cleaning from time to time to prevent build up of mould, moss and algae especially when used around lawns or garden beds. Pressure should never exceed 1000 psi.
