What could be more charming than a old paving in Provencal colors under a summer sun? Stone salvaged from cobbled streets, old buildings and even old quarries can have a unique, weathered appearance that newly cut stone can't replicate. Rich in textures and patinas, the stone paving will give your architecture that extra touch of soul. Although they require special care to preserve their superb appearance, our old paving will appeal to connoisseurs of antiques who are keen to bring the French tradition and old materials in their decoration.
Here are all the advantages of stone paving :
- Durability: It's not for nothing that the oldest man-made structures still standing are made of stone - it's an incredibly strong and resistant material. If you're designing a home you hope to live in for many years to come, stone floors are a wise choice.
- Suitable for outdoor use: slabs do not corrode, even when exposed to high temperatures and difficult freeze/thaw conditions. So they're just as at home indoors as they are outdoors.
- Low maintenance: once properly installed, the antique paving benefit from a major advantage: low maintenance.
- Unique beauty: Natural stones have unique grains, veins, patterns and colors. The combination of all these elements makes for a unique material with a natural beauty that you won't find in your neighbor's home.
- Anti-allergen : If you or a family member suffer from allergies, stone floors can help you in your efforts to keep dust and allergens out of your home. Because cleaning is easier on a hard, non-porous surface, allergens will have a much harder time finding their way into your home.
