Bush-Hammered Tile

The Bush-Hammered bluestone tiles from Carrières du Hainaut guarantee total security for your delicate outdoor passages and a dynamic, design wall decoration. Their light grey surface reveals numerous white dots that overlap one another. The relief texture, compared to Dimpled, offers a softer, more rounded ruggedness.

Bush-hammered tiles are ideal for anti-slip surfaces, and are your best choice for use outdoors, such as walkways, staircases, as well as vertical applications for original and creative wall decoration.

Care advice:

Blue stone tiles do not require any particular maintenance. The robustness and non-porosity of this natural stone naturally protect it from external aggression. Stains do not penetrate the material and will disappear with time and patina. And if you don’t want to wait, there are many effective remedies. Acidic products should be avoided, however.
