Sandstone and Limestone veneer
Sandstone
- Origin: Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, made up mostly of small grains of quartz. The majority of sandstone is created when tiny fragments of rock and dirt settle to the bottom of oceans, lakes and rivers. As the time passes, these layers of sand are buried under more sand and dirt until the fragments are turned into solid rock.
- Properties: Very hard, compact and fine grained
- Colours: Sandstone is available in many colours; the most frequent colors used for landscaping projects are buff, brown, blue, black and pink.
- Use: In landscaping, sandstone is commonly used to make walls, walkways, garden furniture, fountains as well as decorative stone.
Limestone
- Origin: Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed by the build up of shells, bones and other calcium rich goods at the bottom of oceans, lakes and rivers. The organic matters on top of which these calcium rich items settle are preserved as fossils. As time passes, layer after layer is built up. The heat and the pressure of the layers cause a chemical reaction and the sediments turn into solid stone: limestone.
- Properties: Hard, compact, fine to very fine grained; low water absorption.
- Colours: Limestone is generally grey, but can vary in colour from white to grey, red, yellow or black.
- Use: In landscaping, limestone is commonly used for furniture, walls, wall cladding and paving.
