Explore our Sandstone Textured Collection — a premium range of natural sandstone paving slabs crafted with a deliberately textured surface for added character, visual depth and enhanced grip. These slabs combine the enduring beauty of sandstone with a tactile finish that works beautifully in outdoor spaces, offering both style and performance. For instance, the textured finish is achieved through processes like sand-blasting or shot-blasting to give a grippier surface suitable for high traffic or wet zones
Key features:
-
Authentic texture & finish: Each slab features a textured top surface (such as sand-blasted, flame-textured or shot-blasted) that delivers subtle variation and grip — ideal for patios, terraces, pool surrounds or garden paths.
-
Natural sandstone tones: Available in classic sandstone hues such as buff, honey, grey, mint and green-tinged blends, giving you rich colour variation and natural stone appeal.
-
Outdoor suitability: These slabs are crafted for exterior use and designed to handle typical UK weather conditions when installed properly, with the texture helping with slip-resistance in wet conditions.
-
Design flexibility: The textured surface gives extra visual interest and works well alongside timber decking, metal furniture, planting and other materials — suitable for both modern and traditional outdoor settings.
-
Maintenance & durability: While natural stone requires some care, the textured finish helps conceal minor debris and wear, and when sealed and maintained correctly, textured sandstone offers long-term performance.
Installation & care tips:
-
View a sample slab outdoors in both sun and shade, and when dry and wet, to get a realistic sense of how the texture and tones look in your space.
-
For full slab installation: ensure a well-prepared, level sub-base, correct bedding or adhesive for calibrated sandstone (e.g., ~20-22 mm thickness), consistent joint widths and proper edge detail for durability.
-
Maintenance is straightforward: sweep regularly, rinse occasionally with warm soapy water and use a stiff brush if needed; avoid harsh acid-based cleaners which may damage stone or texture.
-
When ordering: aim to order from the same production batch to minimise shade or texture variation, and consider ordering ~10% extra material to account for cuts, waste and future replacements.
Summary:
The Sandstone Textured Collection offers the tactile elegance of natural stone combined with enhanced visual interest and outdoor performance. Whether you’re designing a textured feature patio, terrace or garden path, these slabs deliver character, grip and lasting style.
