Key Product Specifications

Aesthetic Profile, Sourcing, and Available Formats

If you are looking to buy Xiamen Bluestone Pavers in Melbourne, Atlas Tile & Stone is your premier wholesaler and supplier.

Aesthetic & Texture:
Xiamen Bluestone is celebrated for its raw, organic appeal. Unlike the denser, uniform Hainan Black, Xiamen Bluestone features more natural “catspaw” (air pockets formed during volcanic cooling). This gives the stone a rugged, authentic character that hides dirt and footprints exceptionally well. The colour palette is a classic blue-grey, which lightens slightly under direct sunlight, offering a timeless aesthetic that suits both modern and heritage homes.

Price Comparison:
Xiamen Bluestone is widely regarded as the most cost-effective natural stone option on the market. It is significantly more affordable than Harkaway or Hainan varieties, making it the top choice for large-scale commercial projects, investment properties, and budget-conscious renovations.

Available Formats:
We stock these pavers in 20mm (Standard) and 30mm (Heavy Duty) thicknesses.

• 20mm: Perfect for laying on concrete slabs for patios and walkways.
• 30mm: The added thickness provides extra strength for driveways (laid on concrete) or stepping stones.
• Sizes: 600x300mm, 600x600mm, 800x400mm.

Technical & Performance Specifications

• Non-Slip Safety (P5): The Sawn finish ensures a high-grip surface, essential for pool surrounds and uncovered outdoor areas exposed to rain.
• Durability: Despite being an entry-level stone, Xiamen Basalt is incredibly hard-wearing (Mohs Hardness 6). It withstands harsh weather conditions and heavy foot traffic.
• Installation Flexibility:
  • 20mm: Must be glued to a concrete base.
  • 30mm: Can be used for heavy-duty applications. While usually laid on concrete for driveways, the 30mm thickness offers greater impact resistance.
• Salt Safe: Suitable for use around saltwater swimming pools.
• Vesicular Character: The natural holes (catspaw) aid in slip resistance and drainage, though some clients prefer to grout fill the larger holes for a smoother finish.

Project Applications

Xiamen Bluestone 20mm & 30mm Pavers are the go-to solution for Melbourne landscapers requiring maximum coverage for minimum cost without sacrificing the benefits of natural stone.

Ideal Applications:

• Large Paving Areas: Because of its low price point, it is perfect for expansive patios, alfresco areas, and commercial public spaces.
• Driveways: Using the 30mm paver on a reinforced concrete base provides a durable, stain-hiding surface for vehicles.
• Pool Surrounds: The P5 rating and cool-under-foot properties make it a safe and functional choice for family pools.
• Stepping Stones: Use 30mm pavers embedded in grass or mulch for casual garden pathways.
