Description
Desert Sand Sandstone is a natural sandstone featuring warm sandy tones with splashes of darker browns and golds and hints of cool ice green. The naturally split surface creates visual interest without demanding a manicured look. Available in both natural and honed finishes, Desert Sand is primarily designed for outdoor applications where its non-slip properties, cool underfoot feel, and beachy aesthetic make it the natural choice for pool surrounds and garden paving.
Desert Sand Sandstone performs reliably in high-traffic outdoor environments across Australia. It integrates across contemporary, coastal, and transitional outdoor spaces without requiring a specific design language. The warm neutral palette pairs effectively with timber decking, natural plantings, landscape features, and architectural elements. This sandstone is salt-safe, making it suitable for salt chlorine pools and oceanside properties without concern for degradation.
The natural finish is the primary choice for outdoor applications including pool coping, outdoor pavers, driveways, garden pathways, and entertaining areas. The honed finish suits indoor flooring, bathrooms, and wall cladding where a smoother surface is preferred. Available in multiple tile formats from 400 x 400mm through to 800 x 400mm, plus random crazy paving sizes from 20-30mm thick. Tile thickness options include 15mm and 30mm depending on application. Custom cutting, bullnosing, and stonemasonry services are available locally for project-specific requirements.
Desert Sand Sandstone is in stock and competitively priced, offering excellent value for both residential and commercial projects. The stone is naturally hard wearing, requires minimal maintenance, and resists staining effectively in outdoor settings. Its unsurpassed non-slip properties make it safe for pool areas and wet zones, particularly in Australian climates where sun exposure and humidity are factors.
