When you begin your next building project, you will probably need to consider the different types of finishing stones for your indoor or outdoor spaces, walls, or walkways. Sandstone is one of the most common and versatile materials used in decorative finishes, and has practically universal appeal. Because sandstone can fit into almost any architectural or design style, consider the benefits of using sandstone for your next building or renovation project in New Jersey.
Before starting, you might be wondering what the texture of sandstone is going to feel like beneath your bare feet or under your hands. You might wonder if the softness of sandstone makes it prone to wear. Your best option would be to check out a place like New Jersey Gravel and Sand, which offers a wide array of sandstone materials you can see and touch in person before you buy. Alternatively you can consider that sandstone has been used historically as a building material in places all over the world. It is a natural composite rock primarily composed of quartz or feldspar and occurs throughout the world in different colors. The texture is pleasantly granular, adding depth and color to your home or business.
One of the benefits of sandstone is that its texture is smooth but not slippery, making it a perfect flagstone for paving walkways and patios in New Jersey. If you or your children use bare feet when walking on your patio or driveway, the sandstone will feel comfortable whether it is hot or cold, wet or dry. Another benefit of sandstone is the variety of colors it comes in, from desert rose to grey, all of which are neutral, soft, and earthy and therefore easy to fit into any architectural style either indoors or out.
