Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is formed from the accumulation and natural bonding of sand grains. The process starts with the erosion of pre-existing rocks, such as granite or limestone, which creates sand-sized particles. These particles are transported by wind, water, or ice and deposited in layers on the earth’s surface, such as riverbeds, deserts, or beaches. Over time, the weight of the overlying sediment compacts the sand particles and removes any air pockets, creating a solid mass of rock.

Sandstone is an excellent choice for paving material due to its durability and natural beauty. It is a hard, dense stone that can withstand heavy foot traffic, weathering, and erosion. It is also resistant to stains, scratches, and damage from UV rays. Sandstone’s natural beauty comes from its unique textures and colours, which vary depending on the minerals present in the rock.

Tumbled sandstone paving is a type of sandstone paving that has undergone a special manufacturing process to achieve a unique, weathered look. The process involves tumbling the sandstone in a machine with other stones, gravel, or steel bearings, which causes the stones to rub against each other and smooth out any sharp edges or corners. This creates a softer, more rounded appearance that mimics the natural weathering process. With a naturally riven finished sandstone, the tumbling process removes the newness of of the surface and edges of the stone to give a gentle riven texture and slightly rounds the edges of the stone to give the appearance of a stone that is much older than it actually is making it suitable for period homes where a new stone would look out of place. If a product is sawn and then tumbled, it retains the flat, clean cut appearance, however has a softer finish to the edges to give an aged appearance. It is often produced in a calibrated thickness where the variation in the thickness of the slab is kept to a minimum to simplify the laying process.
