Yorkshire Blend Modular Sandstone Wall Cladding in Warm Earthy Tones
Yorkshire Blend is a modular ashlar sandstone wall cladding in warm, earthy tones. It's cut into consistent rectangular blocks rather than the irregular pieces used in random or strata formats. Each piece is chipped on five sides and sawn flat on the back, which makes it straightforward to lay in coursed rows without cutting or fitting on site.

Description
Yorkshire Blend is a natural sandstone wall cladding in a modular ashlar format, cut into consistent rectangular blocks from 200-400mm long by 180-250mm wide. The blend refers to the colour variation within the stone itself: warm creams, honey tones and soft ochres that shift across the face of a wall and give it a lived-in, natural character.
Each piece is chipped on five sides and sawn flat on the back, which makes for straightforward installation and consistent adhesion without sacrificing the hand-worked texture on the face and edges. That combination of easy handling and authentic surface finish is what makes Yorkshire a practical choice for projects where installation time matters as much as the end result.
Matching L-shaped corners are available up to 300mm. Walling is supplied in 10m² crates, corners in 25 lm crates.

FAQ’s
How is Yorkshire Blend installed?
Pieces are sawn flat on the back and applied to a suitable substrate using standard stone adhesive. Because it's a modular format, the blocks course together in consistent rows rather than needing the piece-by-piece fitting that random stone requires. Corner units come in L-shapes and interlock to give the appearance of a solid structural wall. Our installation guide covers the full process.
Can Yorkshire Blend be used outdoors?
Yes. Sandstone handles Melbourne's weather well and is regularly specified for exterior facades, retaining walls, and outdoor entertaining areas, as well as indoor applications like fireplaces and feature walls.
How much Yorkshire Blend do I need to order?
Walling is packaged as 10m² per crate and corners as 25 lineal metres per crate, but these are packing references rather than fixed order quantities. We pack off to the exact m² or lm you need rather than requiring you to round up to a full crate. Measure the total wall area and subtract any openings, and order a small amount extra to account for cuts around corners.
What's the difference between Yorkshire Blend and Yarrabee's random walling stones?
Yorkshire Blend is a modular ashlar format, cut into consistent rectangular blocks that lay in coursed rows. Products like Hotham or Bogong are random, meaning the pieces are irregular sizes and shapes with no set pattern. Modular gives a more ordered, structured look, while random gives a more organic, natural look.
Can I see Yorkshire Blend before ordering?
Yes. Yorkshire Blend is on display in our Oakleigh East showroom at wall scale. Free samples are also available to take away. Showroom hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm and Saturday 9am - 3pm.
