Material Information
Sandstone Description:
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is formed from the accumulation and natural bonding of sand grains. The process starts with the erosion of pre-existing rocks, such as granite or limestone, which creates sand-sized particles. These particles are transported by wind, water, or ice and deposited in layers on the earth's surface, such as riverbeds, deserts, or beaches. Over time, the weight of the overlying sediment compacts the sand particles and removes any air pockets, creating a solid mass of rock. Sandstone is an excellent choice for paving material due to its durability and natural beauty. It is a hard, dense stone that can withstand heavy foot traffic, weathering, and erosion. It is also resistant to stains, scratches, and damage from UV rays. Sandstone's natural beauty comes from its unique textures and colours, which vary depending on the minerals present in the rock.
Antique, Tumbled, Aged - Tumbled sandstone paving is a type of sandstone paving that has undergone a special manufacturing process to achieve a unique, weathered look. The process involves tumbling the sandstone in a machine with other stones, gravel, or steel bearings, which causes the stones to rub against each other and smooth out any sharp edges or corners. This creates a softer, more rounded appearance that mimics the natural weathering process. With a naturally riven finished sandstone, the tumbling process removes the newness of of the surface and edges of the stone to give a gentle riven texture and slightly rounds the edges of the stone to give the appearance of a stone that is much older than it actually is making it suitable for period homes where a new stone would look out of place. If a product is sawn and then tumbled, it retains the flat, clean cut appearance, however has a softer finish to the edges to give an aged appearance. It is often produced in a calibrated thickness where the variation in the thickness of the slab is kept to a minimum to simplify the laying process.
Sandstone Colours:
Sandstone is available in a wide range of colours, some subtle and some vivid, however as tumbled sandstone is specifically designed to work well with older style homes, the colour ranges available with a tumbled finish are usually those with more muted tones. The ranges comprise of a selection of core colours combined with subtle contrasting shades, and the balance of shades can vary between batches of even the same stone due to different seams in the stone quarry occurring over time. The colour intensity increases when the paving is wet. Most brands offer the same range of colours with slightly different names. BE AWARE that not ALL natural stone is the same quality. Over 50% of stone sold on many other websites may not conform to British Standards and could crack during cold weather.
The main sandstone colours seen with a tumbled, antique finish sandstone fall into the following groups:
Autumn Brown | Brown Multi - darker shades of brown and warm grey with occasional maroon tones. Creates a warm and inviting atmosphere especially where a darker colouring is required.
Buff | Harvest | Camel | Sunset Buff | Sunrise | Country Buff - has honey buff colours with occasional pink and brown-grey tones. Warm neutral tones.
Raj Green | York Green | Lakeland | Forest Glen - a mix of grey-green, beige and occasional lilac and ideal for a cool neutral colour scheme. Popular for use on older properties as its colours blend well with nature.
Fossil Mint | Mint | Golden Sand - this colour range has light cream colours with warm pink and occasional brown. It may include occasional fossil imprints and bronze markings although the general appearance is a soft cream.
Kandla Grey | Promenade | Grey - a popular choice of light dove grey with very occasional buff and fairly consistent in tone. Works well with most property styles and colours.
Sagar Black | Graphite | Monsoon | Raven | Twilight - a mix of graphite and charcoal tones interspersed with warm buff tones. A classic colour that works well in older style properties. Generally more costly than other sandstone colours.
Indian York | Yorkshire Blend | Glendale | Old York - This sandstone has a contrasting colour palette of light dove grey and golden buff and has a banded appearance. It offers a good, economically priced alternative to British Yorkstone.
