Flagstone floor: large, irregular, worn down by foot traffic

An old flagstone floor. The flagstones are grey, of varying sizes, with edges that are not perfectly straight, laid in an irregular pattern; the gaps are wide, filled with light-colored mortar, and some areas are missing. The flagstones along the main traffic path are smoother and slightly concave from wear, and their color is darker than those at the edges. The surface is cold and hard, reflecting a little window light. Avoid: using neatly cut square stone tiles, using polished stone, making all flagstones the same size, using printed imitation stone tiles.

一片舊的石板地面。石板是灰色的,尺寸大小不一,邊緣不完全筆直,以不規則的方式拼接;縫隙較寬,填的是淺色的砂漿並且有些地方已經缺損。動線上的石板被走得比較光滑並且微微凹陷,顏色也比邊緣深。表面冷硬,反射一點窗光。避免:使用切割整齊的方形石磚、使用拋光的石材、讓石板的尺寸完全一致、使用印刷仿石的磁磚。
