Typically, large riven flags are used to create hard-wearing and durable flooring in areas that experience heavy traffic or footfall. These heavy flagstones are commonly supplied at 4-6 inches thick.
However, as shown in this project, riven flagstones can also be used to create stylish and desirable outdoor areas for residential properties. The Rossendale flagstones have helped to create a rustic and traditional aesthetic for this property in Cornwall.
