Limestone paving slabs any good?
These are multiple reasons why Limestone Paving has remained a popular choice for garden patios such as it’s natural resistance to the elements, the fact that Limestone is a very durable and strong stone despite the fine grain which makes it very easy to work with and the incredible colour range available. While there are pros and cons to limestone paving, the same can be said for any other natural stone or porcelain paving, so while Limestone is a great option for garden patios, it comes down to personal preference.
Is Limestone Slabs sealant required?
The short and sweet answer to this is no, Limestone paving is not required to have sealant but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Sealant is used to preserve the look of your new patio and help to keep it looking new and fresh for much longer and, there 2 variants of the sealant available.
- Invisible Sealant - This version has a clear finish so your limestone paving will look the same as it did before the sealant was applied but with added protection
- Colour Enhancing Sealant - This version actually helps to enhance the best feature of slabs, the colours, while also providing additional protection.
Ultimately it will come down to personal preference so the best thing to do is, do your research and discuss the options with your landscaper (if you have one) and then make the best choice for you and your new limestone paving patio.
