Grey paving

A grey paving in natural stone makes it possible to create a floor that is at once understated, elegant and authentic. Unlike a tile that simply reproduces a colour, each slab has its own nuances, texture and natural
variations. The grey can range from a light grey tone to anthracite grey, sometimes with bluish or mineral nuances.

The choice of stone strongly influences the final result. For example, the GRAPHITE SLATE paving offers a deep anthracite
grey with a cleft, structured appearance, while the KANDLA GREY sandstone paving presents light grey to bluish-grey
tones and a natural surface.

Grey paving is particularly popular for creating a terrace, because this shade is easily matched with many outdoor materials and furniture. A grey terrace can take on a modern appearance with dark joinery, a more natural style with wood, or a leafy atmosphere with plantings and beds.

Natural stone also gives the floor real personality. The variations in colour and texture prevent the surface from being too uniform and give the landscaping more character. For a terrace, it is important to consider the strength of the stone, its behaviour in frost and its finish.

The LUNA GREY limestone paving is a solution in grey shades, while the MOUNTAIN GREY granite paving offers a nuanced grey with a flamed finish. 

For outdoor landscaping, the choice of grey paving depends mainly on how the floor will be used, the look desired and the characteristics of the stone. A terrace, a garden path, a pool surround or an entrance are not necessarily subject to the same constraints.

Some grey stones have a naturally textured surface that provides more grip. Kandla Grey sandstone, for example, is presented with a natural finish, a textured surface and good frost resistance. It is particularly suitable for terraces, paths and pool surrounds.

The GRIS MONCERAT limestone paving offers a more regular and contemporary look. Its diamond-finished surface reveals the nuances of the limestone and keeps the mineral look of natural stone.

For an outdoor project, also consider the format, thickness, finish and dimensions of the slabs. A grey paving can be laid in regular formats or in more lively compositions depending on the product chosen.

The gray paving is not a single color. Natural stone generally shows several shades that can vary from one slab to another. You can find light gray, medium gray, bluish gray, anthracite or even more nuanced tones depending on the stone and its finish.

The QUARTZITE ADRIATICO Paving, for example, has a gray-beige tone and a raw texture. Its natural variations contribute directly to the final look of the floor.

For a darker atmosphere, the KURU DARK Granite Paving has a nuanced anthracite shade, with a slightly textured flamed finish.

These differences make it possible to adapt the gray paving to different projects. A light gray slab can bring more brightness to a terrace or garden, while a darker gray creates a marked contrast with a light façade. The finish must also be taken into account: honed, natural, flamed, tooled or cleft, it can noticeably change the perception of color and texture.

Yes, some grey pavings in natural stone can be used both indoors and outdoors, provided you choose a product suited to the intended use. The stone can thus create visual continuity between a living room, a
terrace or an outdoor entrance.

Honed BLUE STONE paving is suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces. Its bluish-grey shade and satin finish give a softer, more contemporary look. 

For an interior, the choice of finish and feel can be particularly important. Tooled BLUE STONE indoor flooring has a textured surface and subtle relief that highlight the natural character of the stone. 

The format of gray paving plays an important role in the overall appearance of a terrace, a garden or an indoor floor. Large slabs generally give a more contemporary impression and visually limit the number of joints. Smaller formats or several sizes can on the contrary create a more traditional rhythm.

The products in the collection come in different dimensions and thicknesses depending on the stone. The LIMA GRIS limestone paving with rough edges is offered in particular in 4-format opus, which makes it possible to create a more dynamic composition.
