Sandstones

The term sandstone is used to describe almost any stone of sedimentary origin with a granular texture. Some other types of stone that may fall under this classification include gritstones, siltstones, greywackes, conglomerates and marls. Aside from particle size variations, the dominant factor affecting sandstone performance is the grain cement that may be siliceous, calcareous, clay bearing or iron-rich.
Sandstone is a natural material traditionally regarded as a building stone around the globe. Sandstone can be seen throughout the Europe, Asia and Middle East in many prestigious buildings from structures which form part of our heritage to modern office blocks.
