Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an Indian stone patio last?
A professionally installed Indian sandstone patio can last for several decades with routine maintenance and proper installation.
Does Indian sandstone require sealing?
Sealing is optional but can help protect against staining, reduce water absorption and enhance the stone's natural colour. We'll advise whether sealing is appropriate for your patio.
Is Indian sandstone slippery?
The natural texture of sandstone generally provides good grip under normal conditions. As with any external paving, extra care should be taken during icy weather.
Will every slab look the same?
No. One of the attractions of natural sandstone is that every slab has unique colour variations and natural markings.
Can sandstone be used for pathways as well as patios?
Yes. Indian sandstone is suitable for patios, pathways, courtyards and many other hard landscaping features.
Is sandstone suitable for modern homes?
