Many homeowners and landscape architects really love the use of sandstone because it provides a lot of warmth to any space, and it goes very nicely with the brick colours used in most homes.

Advantages Of Using Sandstone

Naturally beautiful

Natural materials have a mysterious quality to them that’s very evident in sandstone flooring. The landscaping stone comes in a vast array of hues, ranging from charcoal to black and medium white tones to multicolored whirlpools. But whatever colour or texture it has, sandstone usually comes in more neutral beige, light gray, brown and dark gray tones with a touch of rock and earth.

Many of the sandstones that we have come with a natural cleft finish which make them great for traction and high foot traffic areas. The stone photographed above is particularly unique as it is called STONEarch Fossil and it has imprints of historic fossils directly on the surface of the stone.

Unique

Nature itself formed sandstone. This means that the pattern and colour you’ll find in all stones are different and unique on its own. So, you won’t find any two tiles that are exactly alike in appearance. And unlike manufactured tiles, sandstone has movement.

Sandstone comes out in massive slabs when quarried. Then, each piece of sandstone tile will go through a process where they are cut into smaller pieces. Therefore, each of your STONEarch sandstone tiles is a random sample of nature’s wonderful mountainous masterpiece.

Durable

No doubt, sandstone is durable and is as hard as a rock (because it is!). Although it can’t compete with the durability and hardness level of granite or black basalt, it’s still strong enough to last for many decades with proper care and maintenance.

Replaceable

The installation of sandstone flooring is in individual pieces or pavers. This means that removing and replacing this flagstone is relatively easy. Just make sure that you have some STONEarch pavers saved from the initial installation, so they match when you repair your project.

Eco-Friendly

If you want to help with the environment, natural stones are the best way to go. Unlike other materials like concrete, sandstone comes from the earth and will biodegrade in time. But don’t worry, it will take many years before this happens. Concrete is one of the largest polluting industries to this planet, second to automobiles. With natural stone, you can be safe that it is gentle on bare feet or for young children as it is an all natural product that is created by mother nature.
