Sandstone slabs
Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from eroded sand particles deposited on riverbeds. Over time, these particles accumulate and undergo crustal movements. Sandstone has a sub-gloss finish which gives it a soft and inviting appearance without producing strong reflected light. Compared to other stone materials like marble and granite, sandstone is nearly free of radioactivity and non-hazardous to human health, making it an ideal choice for large-scale applications. Additionally, sandstone is just as durable as marble and granite and can resist weathering and discoloration.
Because of its coarse texture and hard-grained structure, sandstone is ideal for large outdoor sculptures.
When used for decorative purposes, sandstone creates a warm and refined ambiance that exudes simplicity, comfort, and luxury. Sandstone is a durable natural material that doesn’t typically weather or change color over time. Many buildings constructed with sandstone centuries ago still retain their charm today.
Sandstone doesn’t produce light pollution due to reflection and is naturally slip-resistant.
In China, there are many variations of sandstone. Sichuan Sandstone is a type of siltstone with fine grains and a soft texture that makes it perfect for architectural decoration as well as carving. It boasts the widest range of colors in China including red, green, gray, white, black, purple, yellow, blue, and more.
Yunnan Sandstone is also a siltstone with fine grains and a soft texture. Compared to Sichuan Sandstone, it features more unique textures and patterns. Yunnan Sandstone comes in a wide range of colors, including yellow wood-grain, landscape-patterned, red, yellow, white, and green.
Shandong Sandstone is a marine sandstone and is characterized by its coarse grained and brittle texture. The palette of colors available is relatively limited and includes red, yellow, green, purple, brown, and white.
Australian Sandstone is an eco-friendly stone material that doesn’t produce pollution, radiation, reflection, weathering, or discoloration. It has excellent heat absorption, thermal insulation, and anti-slip properties.
