Is Bluestone Slippery When Wet?

Is Bluestone Slippery When Wet? Here’s What You Need to Know

One of the most common questions we get is, “Is bluestone slippery when wet?” The answer depends on the type of bluestone finish you choose.

Choosing the Right Bluestone for Safety

• Sawn or Sandblasted Bluestone – Offers excellent slip resistance, making it ideal for pool surrounds, pathways, and outdoor areas exposed to water.
• Honed Bluestone – While visually stunning, honed surfaces can become slippery when wet, so it’s best suited for indoor applications.
• Natural Split Bluestone – With a textured, non-slip surface, this is perfect for driveways, alfresco areas, and garden paving.

For Melbourne homeowners and landscapers looking for a safe and stylish paving solution, we recommend selecting bluestone with a high slip rating to ensure both beauty and functionality.
