THE BENEFITS OF RECLAIMED YORKSTONE PAVING
1. DURABILITY
York stone paving has been reused and redistributed for many years, owing to its incredible durability. It can create stunning, long-lasting flooring inside or outside. The great toughness of york stone makes it perfect for areas with heavy footfall or traffic such as outdoor patios or driveways. Additionally due to their natural ridges, even in extreme rain, Yorkstone slabs allow water drainage reducing the risk of slips.
2. VARIOUS USES
Despite being a durable and heavy natural stone, Yorkstone is extremely flexible in its use. This type of stone looks great both indoors and outdoors, whether for landscaping your garden, historic restoration projects, or installing in your kitchen, bathroom, or hallway.
