Sandstone is a very versatile material that can be transformed into just about any form imaginable. As sandstone doesn’t absorb heat rapidly, it tends to stay cool under foot and is therefore a good choice for outdoor entertaining areas.
The general appearance of sandstone can vary widely from uniform colouring to highly figured banding. The gritty nature of sandstone precludes the development of a polished surface, but some denser sandstones can have a honed surface.
