Granite pavers are made of a natural igneous rock. Granite is a type of volcanic stone that has been formed from the crystallisation of magma beneath the Earth’s surface, a process that takes millions of years. A strong and durable stone, granite is also very aesthetically beautiful, making it an ideal natural stone paver for your home.

If you want to install natural stones for their aesthetics but require a material that is strong in nature, granite pavers are the optimal solution. Their exceptionally durable composition makes granite pavers ideal for high traffic areas such as driveways, walkways, outdoor entertainment areas and verandahs. As granite is water resistant, they’re even suitable for paving around the pool.

Granite is a porous stone, so it’s important to seal the pavers in order to protect them from wear and tear and any erosion of their appearance. There are some sealers that can give the pavers a permanently glossy appearance which looks great around the pool. At Armstone, we stock a selection of specialised sealers, like our Aqua Mix range, which is perfect for the job.

While granite pavers are an extremely durable stone, regular cleaning is recommended to ensure they remain impervious to the elements and general wear and tear. The simplest method to effectively clean your granite pavers is by mixing  detergent and warm water. If you have granite pavers installed in larger and more commercial areas that get higher levels of foot traffic, ‘ride on floor’ cleaners can be used to make the job easier.

The cost of granite pavers varies depending on three variables: the type of stone, it’s format and required thickness. If you need any help with this, contact us online or visit our Sydney showroom in Glebe for an obligation free, complimentary quotation.
