FAQs
What is Yorkstone paving?
Yorkstone paving, as the name suggests, comes straight from the quarries of Yorkshire, right here in the UK. Yorkstone is a premium paving choice that’s renowned for its durability and timeless appeals. It’s Yorkstone's exceptional quality that sets it apart from other natural stones, making it a worthwhile investment for both homeowners and businesses.
At Bridge Street Stone, you'll find a variety of options available, from new to reclaimed and sawn to riven finishes, each style bringing its own unique charm. These versatile stones can be used for driveways, patios, paths, and entrances, making them a popular choice for projects that aim to add style and character.
What are the benefits of Yorkstone paving?
One of the standout benefits of Yorkstone paving is its remarkable longevity. With proper care, Yorkstone slabs can last up to 100 years, and even as they weather over time, they develop a rich patina that enhances their natural beauty.
Yorkstone is a great choice for areas with heavy foot traffic due to its strength, which is a big reason why it's popular with homeowners. It can easily handle the wear and tear of daily life, so whether you're moving patio furniture or placing heavier items, Yorkstone paving holds up incredibly well (within reason, of course).
Yorkstone is also available in a stunning range of colours and shades, making it adaptable to various design styles. At Bridge Street Stone, we manufacture our sawn Yorkstone paving right here on-site, ensuring that every piece of paving that leaves either of our branches is a premium product that meets our high expectations. Its versatility allows it to shine both in contemporary settings and more traditional spaces. What's more, Yorkstone paving can significantly enhance the value of your property, making it a savvy investment for the future.
What are the different applications of Yorkstone paving?
Yorkstone paving is most commonly used for patios and garden spaces, but it's equally effective for defining pathways or creating elegant transitions between turf and driveways. Its durable nature also makes it ideal for practical applications like stairways, where the contrast between the stones can add a distinctive design touch.
Interestingly, Yorkstone paving also conducts heat well, making it a superb option for both outdoor and indoor spaces. One reason people may not consider stone flooring inside the home is because it can be cold to the touch, especially in winter, but not Yorkstone; it pairs well with underfloor heating!
Whether you're creating a cosy garden nook, defining a driveway, or looking for an indoor-outdoor solution, Yorkstone paving offers unmatched durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal, allowing you to truly get creative with your space!
