Know Some Interesting Facts About Sandstone

Great Formation

Sandstone contains one of the biggest particles of all rock types, which makes it perfect for use in building, paving and even glass manufacturing. Mineral matter is a binding agent, and matrix, a fine substance combined with sand, makes up the rest of its composition. The extreme pressure and temperature in the deepest parts of the earth cause these two elements to melt and reform, resulting in the rock formation. Sandstone can be found in sand dunes, beaches and entire sandstone beds offshore from river deltas.

Holding History

Slow formation and porosity allow sandstone to record the surface conditions at the time of sand deposition. Makeup can have streaks, uneven layers of colour and even fossils that give it a unique look that many people wish to bring from nature into their homes.

The Choice for Centuries

Sandstone’s value as a tool and building material has long been recognised. Humans have used its soft yet resilient properties, which make cutting and moulding it simply, since prehistoric times. Even with an early grindstone used for sharpening blades and other equipment, many civilisations worldwide have taken advantage of its weather resistance.

Metaphysics

Sandstone is sometimes referred to as the “stone of creativity” because of its vivid colours. It is a belief in metaphysical circles that strengthens the bonds between people while encouraging clarity and truth. Incorporating it into your living space or outdoor area can cause you to sense a strong desire to return to nature.

types of sandstone finishes

Honed: Honed finish sandstone tile has one of the smoothest surfaces in comparison to other sandstone finishes. The smooth surface brings a rich look to the tile and thus is widely used for home interiors like stone wall cladding, flooring, etc. At times, this finish is also used as kitchen countertops.

Bottom Calibrated: Bottom calibrated finish sandstone slabs are quite a similar type of non-calibrated finish other than the thickness. The calibration process is carried out on the lower part of the stone to reduce the thickness to make it easily stick to the walls which do not go hand in hand with the non-calibrated ones. This slight difference can often go unnoticed, thus choose the most trusted sandstone manufacturer in India, Architectural Exports to get the right product at the right price.

Machine/ Sawn Cut: Sandstone tiles are given a sawn/machine cut using a diamond disc. This procedure brings an irregular & rough surface look with small furrows to the blocks. As a result of this procedure the block becomes light in weight & gets a matte finish tone. This finish is often chosen by architects & designers for patios, driveways, stairs, garden tiles, block paving, etc.
Handcut Sandstone Paving: Handcut is the basic cut of sandstone slabs as per the customers required shape, etc. The roughness of this finish prevents slipping when in contact with water and thus makes it the ideal choice to be used for stone wall cladding.
