The cost of blue stone depends on five factors: the application, the size, the thickness, the finish, and the amount of custom work. Here’s a specific example from our product range: for a Belgian blue stone foundation plinth, you can expect a guide price of approximately 40 to 120 euros per linear meter, depending on the design. For any other application, Renier can provide you with an exact price in just a few minutes: through the online store, the tile configurator with automatic price calculation, or a custom quote. Here’s how the price is calculated.
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Application | A threshold, patio tile, or stair tread each requires a different type of finishing process |
| Format | Larger sizes require larger blocks and more careful handling |
| Thickness | A driveway requires thicker (and therefore more expensive) tiles than a patio |
| Finishing | Sanded is the standard; bush-hammered, flamed, or aged finishes require additional processing time |
| Custom Work | Custom-cut pieces, drip grooves, and corner pieces are made individually in our workshop |
On top of that, there’s shipping: items are shipped by the pallet (up to about 500 kg per pallet) via a specialized shipping company, and the cost is automatically added to your shopping cart. Pickup in Aarschot is always free. Details at Pickup and shipping costs.

Asian blue stone is often less expensive, but it is geologically different: it is generally more porous and, in our climate, more susceptible to discoloration and frost damage. If you’re thinking long-term, you need to factor in its lifespan: Belgian blue stone will still be in place after generations.
