Bluestone Tiles

Premium Bluestone Tiles for Your Home

Bluestone tiles from Reliant Stones offer the perfect mix of modern style and incredible strength. Sourced from premium volcanic quarries, these tiles feature a beautiful, deep Charcoal Grey tone. They are the top choice for Australian homeowners and builders who want a high-end look for patios, pool decks, and outdoor feature walls. Unlike mass-produced concrete or porcelain, bluestone is 100% natural volcanic rock. This gives it a dense, compact structure that is both visually stunning and tough enough to last a lifetime. With its unique, natural "cat’s paw" texture—small, organic pits formed by cooling lava—every tile is a one-of-a-kind piece that brings character to your outdoor space.

Why Choose Bluestone Tiles?

Bluestone is more than just a flooring material; it is a smart, long-term investment for your property. Here is why it remains the benchmark for Australian landscaping:

• Natural Comfort: Bluestone has high thermal mass, meaning it stays stable and comfortable underfoot, even during hot Australian summers.

• Built to Last: Because it is volcanic stone, it doesn't fade or bleach under the harsh UV sun like synthetic tiles. It stays looking as impressive in ten years as it does on the day it was installed.

• Superior Safety: We offer finishes that achieve high P4–P5 slip ratings, providing excellent grip for families near pools or on garden paths, even when wet.

• Boosts Property Value: The prestige and timeless beauty of bluestone are proven to increase the appeal and resale value of your home.

Finishes to Match Your Style

We provide functional, high-quality finishes tailored to the Australian lifestyle:

• Honed Finish: A smooth, matte finish that feels soft underfoot and brings out the deepest Charcoal Grey tones. It is perfect for feature walls and covered, sheltered outdoor areas.

• Sawn Finish: A slightly textured surface that shows off the stone’s natural beauty while providing great grip. This is our most popular choice for patios, walkways, and pool surrounds because it is both beautiful and safe.

Versatile Sizes for Any Project

We stock industry-standard sizes designed to make installation simple and professional:

• 600x400x20mm: Our most popular choice, perfect for a clean, balanced look in most outdoor areas.

• 800x400x20mm: A modern, larger format that creates a sleek, minimalist grid pattern for patios and balconies.

• French Pattern: A mix of four different tile sizes that creates a classic, timeless, European-style layout for large entertaining zones.

Where to Use Bluestone Tiles

• Pool Surrounds: Naturally salt-resistant and cool underfoot, bluestone is the ultimate choice for a luxury pool deck. Use a Sawn finish to ensure maximum safety.

• Patios & Alfresco: Create a stunning foundation for your outdoor BBQ and dining areas. The rich colors stay vibrant year after year, even in full sun.

• Feature Walls: Use honed tiles on vertical surfaces to add a sophisticated, moody, and architectural element to your home’s exterior.

• Garden Paths: Pair these tiles with cobblestones or garden gravel to create an organic, relaxing atmosphere in your backyard.

Simple Care and Maintenance

Bluestone is low-maintenance, but following these simple steps will keep it looking perfect:

1. Sealing

Because the stone is dense, it only needs a high-qualitypenetrating (impregnating) sealer every 18 to 24 months.

The Bead Test: Splash some water on the stone. If it beads up like water on a freshly waxed car, you are protected. If it soaks in and darkens the stone, it is time to reseal.

2. Daily Cleaning

• Sweep Regularly: Clear away sand and grit, as these can act like sandpaper under your feet.

• Use pH-Neutral Cleaners: Only use cleaners specifically made for natural stone.

• Blot Spills: If you spill grease or wine, blot it immediately with a paper towel rather than rubbing it.
