SANDSTONE FOR BEAUTIFUL NATURAL FLOORING

SANDSTONE FOR BEAUTIFUL NATURAL FLOORING

Sandstone is a beautiful natural floor covering that is popular for its distinctive style. Mimicking the look of beach and desert sand, the gold’s, reds, browns, and tans of this often multicolored stone can add the perfect decorative touch to a room. At the same time, the fact that it is natural means that its properties are not controlled by a manufacturer, which can cause problems when it is used in certain environments.

It’s easy to point out the benefits of sandstone flooring, but seeing a nice sandstone tile installation in person says it all.

Natural beauty: There is an ineffable quality to natural materials that is obvious in sandstone flooring. Ranging in color from medium tone whites to multicolored maelstroms and all the way back to charcoal and black, sandstone can cover vast stretches of hues, and yet it always has a feeling of earth and rock that can be missing in many of its imitators.

Durability: Sandstone can’t match slate or granite for durability, but it is strong enough to last for decades if properly cared for.

Uniqueness: Because sandstone is formed from nature itself, the colors, patterns, and hues found in any individual piece are completely unique and different. When sandstone is quarried, it comes out in giant slabs, which are then processed and cut into smaller pieces. That means that every piece of tile in every sandstone floor is one random sample of a great masterpiece of mountainous nature that stretches across the world.

Texture: Sandstone, being a rock, comes from the mountain naturally craggy and jagged. In flooring tiles, this is leveled out in a process called “gauging.” This gives you many options with sandstone flooring, as this process can be increased to hone the tiles into smooth surfaces or even polish them flat and glistening.

Replaceable: Because sandstone flooring is installed in individual tiles or pieces, the tiles can be removed and replaced with relative ease. You just have to make sure that you save a few tile from the original installation so that they match the repaired floor.
