The natural stone patio slabs create a visual connection between the house and the garden, conjure up a relaxed and cozy atmosphere and exude subtle elegance. Whether with a finely ground surface for the classically designed outdoor area, or with a rustic look for the Mediterranean-style lounge area - the selection of designs is practically endless. In the article we provide an overview of the variants.
Frost-resistant types of stone are particularly suitable for outdoor use - travertine, quartzite, limestone, marble, slate and sandstone, for example, are considered extremely robust.
Thepopular travertinehas a yellowish-brown color that forms the perfect background for country-style garden furniture. Our tip – arrange cozy evergreen potted plants around the terrace. Palm trees and flags conjure up a holiday feeling and fit perfectly with the travertine floor.
The high-quality quartzite slabs are ideal for minimalist patio designs. The elegant appearance of the slightly shimmering stone surface automatically attracts attention.
Limestone is one of the most popular types of stone - thanks to its neutral-looking cream color, it is an absolute all-round talent and fits harmoniously into both a modern and a classic outdoor area.
Slate is for fashion-conscious builders - because the dramatic stone in a dark gray color is particularly in harmony with modern house facades and minimalist gardens.
Sandstone is also one of the most popular types of stone in Germany - its warm color creates a cozy atmosphere.
Not only the type of stone, but also the surfaces play a role in the overall look of the flooring. Brushed and sanded surfaces appear noble and elegant. Which surface is ultimately chosen depends closely on personal preferences.
