There’s often plenty of confusion about choosing paving tiles over stone paving and vice-versa. What should a patio be paved with? What should a chimney be paved with? What should a driveway be paved with? These are questions that often have people stuck with. Then follows a series of consultations and unnecessary pieces of advice being traded over what is good and what is bad.
The good thing about stone paving is that stones are strong, offer high levels of durability and have an aesthetic appeal. That is why they are used to pave gardens, and in the process are known as garden paving stones. As a matter of fact, garden paving stones are said to add great value to gardens and make them look sensational. The stones are said to be stronger than concrete and have the gumption to withstand and endure huge amounts of traffic as well as extreme temperature changes. Also, these happen to be water resistant and are made such that water invariably drains into sand-filled joints. Finally, these stones do not require mortar to install.
On the other hand, paving tiles add a touch of class to any setting. One look at them and the first word that comes to your mind regarding the entire décor is, ‘stunning’. The tiles have a very soft texture and exudes a warm tone. It is pragmatic to seal them first before grouting and then afterwards as well. Depending on the type of tile chosen, a repeat action might be necessary every 6 months or so. Mind you, tiles are not as robust and sturdy as stones are and might have to be replaced altogether in the event of a break or crack. They add value no doubt, but do best in interiors.
