Bluestone Color Variations: Nature at Its Finest

Yes, bluestone has blue in its name, but its color can embrace those true blues or expand beyond all blue. The variety of options available make bluestone mix seamlessly into multiple scenarios from contemporary to classic.

There are three main types of high-quality bluestone options we work with:

  • Thermal - This is the most refined in appearance and is heat-treated. It represents two shades of blue, occasionally a third.

  • Natural Cleft, Blue/Blue - This bluestone is a bit more rustic in appearance than thermal and represents two shades of blue.

  • Natural Cleft, Full Range - This bluestone is the most rustic in appearance, providing substantial color variations, including blues, grays, ochres, and rusts.
It’s an unmistakable look that is earthy and distinguished.

Bluestone Can Be Smooth, Rustic & Everything Inbetween

Do you want clean lines? A consistent style laid in a particular pattern will bring you comforting order. Thermal bluestone is flamed to have a smooth surface, providing a more contemporary, modern look.

Looking for a more organic appearance? We can lay Natural Cleft bluestone with its rustic ridges to form a non-repeatable pattern that is unique to your space. No two stones are alike, so you get a one-of-a-kind finish. This creates visual intrigue that is a conversation starter.

Bluestone’s Known For Its Durability

Bluestone is durable and long-lasting, resisting breaks and cracks. The natural, earth tones of its water-resistant surfaces complement any landscape.

Bluestone with a natural texture rarely gets slick or slippery. It can tolerate all kinds of weather and temperature fluctuations. Greater Chicago area snow and ice won’t crack it.

Run, jump, and play on your bluestone patio, or maybe place that heavy patio set right in the center. Don’t worry; It can handle the traffic and the weight.
