Sandstone Porcelain Pavers are the beautiful alternative to natural sandstone. Their main advantage is that, unlike natural sandstone – which is a highly porous stone that is prone to erosion from exposure to salt, chlorine and moisture – porcelain sandstone is made from clay and is extremely dense, durable, and resistant to salt, chlorine and moisture. As such, sandstone porcelain pavers are the more practical alternative for flooring around pool surrounds and any other outdoor areas that are exposed to the elements and weather extremities.
Our Sandstone Porcelain Paver collection strongly resembles the natural bands, veining, sandy textures and deep orange and yellow colours found in natural sandstone. Each porcelain paver is unique and exudes elegance and warmth, adding a homely and sunny touch wherever they are installed. Perfect for patios, entertainment areas, outdoor paths, home entrances and (as previously mentioned) pool surrounds.
Unlike natural sandstone pavers that require meticulous attention and detail with maintenance including regular sealing, cleaning and general upkeep, porcelain sandstone pavers are much easier to maintain. They do not require sealing or pre-sealing, and as the surface isn’t sandy and porous, you can relax knowing that spills and falling leaves will not cause permanent and irreversible stains on the stone. So if you have a young (and growing family), a busy schedule or just generally want to simplify your life, porcelain sandstone pavers are a more suitable option compared to natural sandstone pavers.
Armstone’s Sandstone porcelain pavers are also non-slip, with a micro-sanded finish which makes them ideal for pool surrounds. Additionally, we stock bullnose, pencil-round and drop-edge sandstone porcelain pool coping, allowing you to create a uniform look for your pool area.
Armstone’s Sandstone Porcelain Paver range includes the beautiful Cattai design. Each paver closely resembles the sandpapery texture of natural sandstone with bright copper, orange, ochre and white bands throughout the surface.
As is prominent with all our other porcelain pavers, sandstone porcelain is resistant to frost, heat, moss and mould. As such, the pavers will stay cool underfoot, especially on hot Sydney summer days, and because they are not porous, they do not absorb moisture. This means the sandstone won’t grow mouldy during the cold and wet winter periods, and it also won’t deteriorate over time when exposed to wet areas like pool surrounds.
While natural sandstone pavers vary in size and thickness due to the quarry and cut process, porcelain sandstone pavers are uniform in both size and thickness. So if you’re looking for consistency in your outdoor flooring, sandstone porcelain pavers are the way to go!
From an installation perspective, porcelain sandstone can be installed on road base, sand, grass, pedestal systems and slabs. Their dense and durable composition also means that they have a high resistance to weight. So if you love the sandstone-look, porcelain sandstone is the more practical choice for high foot and vehicle traffic areas like paths, pool surrounds and even driveways.
