What Are Limestone Flagstones?
Limestone flagstones are large, flat slabs of natural limestone, typically cut into rectangular or irregular shapes. Known for their rustic charm and enduring strength, they have been used for centuries in everything from country cottages to historic public buildings. These stones offer a traditional, weathered appearance that adds character to any space, making them a popular choice for period properties and timeless garden designs.
Where Are They Used?
Limestone flagstones are incredibly versatile and can be used in both interior and exterior settings:
Outdoor patios and terraces
Garden paths and courtyards
Entranceways and porches
Barn conversions and farmhouse kitchens
Indoors, they’re often chosen for large open-plan spaces where a more traditional or natural look is desired. Outdoors, their thickness and durability make them perfect for hard landscaping projects.
