Catuso's Best Stone Products With Quarried Stone & Landscaping Stones By: Flagstone is generally a thin flat stone which is
Flagstone is generally a thin flat stone which is used in patios. You can purchase this either as a man-made flagstone or a natural stone from a quarry or you can collect lots of these from creek beds. Many homeowners choose this material for their patio design because of its attributes. And one of these great attributes is that a flagstone patio design is extremely durable.
This does not easily warp and crack when exposed to damaging elements. Plus, this could not be damaged by termites or other insects unlike in wood patio design. If you need a long-lasting patio, this attribute of the flagstone patio design will definitely catch your interest.
Another great attribute of flagstone patio design is that it can handle different types of weather. Since your patio is located outside of your home, it is exposed to extreme weathers, whether hot or cold. Just imagine how your patio will be if you choose a design which is not as weather-resistant as the flagstone patio design. It will sure be very frustrating on your part because the weather will not only affect the level of comfort that you expect from using your patio but it can also lead to early damage of the patio and would mean an added expense for repair or replacement.
