Bluestone
Explore our full range of bluestone pavers including sawn bluestone, step stones, sandblasted pavers, honed pavers and much more. Bluestone pavers are a timeless classic and have been used as footpaths, cobblestones, kerbstones and driveway pavers in the Melbourne CBD since the early 1800’s. A neutral product that allows for creativity in its use by combining textures and colour, bluestone pavers and tiles are the perfect complementary material to any architecturally-designed landscape.
Bluestone pavers match beautifully with other natural materials such as timber, metal or stone. Available in a range of shapes and finishes, bluestone is a durable, high-density product that is an excellent choice for all residential or commercial projects. Bluestone can also be used for your pool surrounds, patio pavers and alfresco tiles.

What are 'cats paws'?
Being a natural product, bluestone, along with its varying range of colours, will exhibit natural air bubbles on the surface which are developed from the heat and gas of volcanoes when the stone is forming in the ground. These are what are referred to as 'cats paws', and are a unique feature of the stone which adds to its rustic and timeless feel.
Cats paws will occur randomly on the stone's surface and are considered a feature as opposed to a flaw. They are part of the stone's appeal, and will add character to any area along with a sense of timelessness due to their natural appearance.
Installation, Cleaning & Sealing
For paving & tiling on a reinforced concrete slab, Pavers Plus recommends natural stone & porcelain be laid using Mapei Keraflex Maxi adhesive and grouted using Ultracolour Plus. Depending on the exact application, there may be a need for waterproofing or priming the area prior to installation of the stone, such as for use in bathrooms or on a fibreglass swimming pool. Speak to one of our friendly staff members for more information.
For paving on crushed rock, we recommend an 80-100mm compacted crushed rock base, with the pavers to then be laid on either 20mm of fine washed sand to act as a levelling agent, or a 20-40mm mortar bed.
All natural stone is porous to varying degrees and must be sealed for protection in any outdoor or indoor setting. Pavers Plus supplies and recommends a range of solvent-based and water-based penetrating sealers, including Lithofin, Dry Treat & Miteq products. Any travertine, limestone, sandstone and concrete products being used around swimming pools must also be consolidated using Dry Treat 40SK Consolidator. Speak to our sales team for more information.
All paving products require periodic cleaning in order to maintain their appearance over time. Pavers Plus supplies & recommends various cleaning products designed to target specific stains such as mould, timber stains, cement-based stains, and also for general upkeep.
