Which flagstones ? - Flagstones suitable for inside & outside

[stevewestmids]

New build project. I wish to use the same flagstones inside (in the kitchen,utility family area) & outside (patio area). The patio level will be at the same height as the kitchen floor and is accessed through 3 double french doors that are hung flush to the kitchen floor and patio, with threashold strips seperating the two areas.

Can anyone reccomend an attractive flagstone suitable for both the kitchen floor and patio, that wont break the bank (I've about 80m2 of patio to do and about the same inside)?, flagstones I've seen seemed to be divided into inside lots of choice expensive ie Travatine, marble, limestone and outside less expensive limited choice sandstone ? Any advice/guidance much appreciated.

One of the very attractive granites. I'd go for a dark grey with a silver grey.

Granite costs a bit more than sandstone, but it's easier to keep it clean and it's at least two orders of magnitude classier.

Travertine? <spit> Crappertine, I call it! :laugh:
