Clay, Concrete or Limestone Pavers

Page 1 of 1
Hi all,

Just wanting some opinions.
I can't decide if I am going to use clay, concrete or limestone pavers.

I know most of the pros and cons of each, mainly ben that clay pavers are more hard wearing and do not fade, as well as they are ore stain resistant and they do not require sealing. However, they are not available in the large sizes and colour options of concrete and limestone. Plus they are more expensive.

Interested to see what people think on this one.

Thanks

Emille
I assume these should not only be technically sound with good parameters, but also fit the whole environment aestheticallly. It'd help if you highlighted what they will to go with

but maybe I'm wrong and you're here only for advices about technicalities of the material
Ha! Yes, that maybe would help. I am more after the technical aspects of why you would go one over the other, however here are some details about the house.

Bricks - Red Smooth (Brikmakers)
White Mortar
Surfmist, roof, fascia, gutters and verandah poles
White window frames
