Robinson Flagstones®

Document: For over seventy years Robinson Flagstones has been the preferred supplier of Pennsylvania flagstone (Bluestone) servicing the needs of architects, landscape architects, designers, and the construction industry in general. Our full cooperation is given for each job whether that requires technical information, budgeting, samples, or design concepts. Our years of accumulated knowledge and continuing research of product development is complemented by our fully trained staff in sales, design, and drafting, right down to the actual craftsmen who cut each individual stone. We are constantly studying and experimenting with flagstone to secure architectural effects for residential, commercial, institutional or any other type of application. We are willing to cooperate with you in obtaining the spirit of Old World beauty with the look to complement any architectural design without actually changing the character of this material.

Description: Robinson Flagstone is a specially selected Pennsylvania bluestone (not slate). It is a natural cleft, hard, durable quartzite sandstone that will not disintegrate in any climate. This material, in addition to being used for its natural beauty, is used extensively and economically as paving stone, coping, interior flooring, treads, and many other applications (comparable to brick or wood deck in cost).
