BUFF RIVEN SANDSTONE PAVING - Sample

Give yourself the opportunity to preview the warm, natural character of the Buff Riven Sandstone paving before committing to full-scale purchase. This sample tile is a practical way to check colour, texture and finish in your outdoor space so you can be confident in your choice.

Key features & benefits:

• Warm natural tones – The buff sandstone features a blend of creamy-buff, honey, light brown and soft orange hues, often with subtle green or grey additions, delivering a warm, inviting aesthetic for patios, terraces or garden pathways.

• Riven surface texture – The natural riven finish provides genuine stone surface character and grip underfoot, making it both visually appealing and practical for outdoor use.

• Try before you buy – Ordering this sample means you can view how the stone behaves under your particular light conditions (sun, shade, wet, dry) and how it complements your furniture, plantings and existing materials—helping to avoid surprises when you install the full slab.

• Design-versatile & timeless – The warm buff palette blends naturally with timber decking, brickwork, greenery and natural stone elements, and works equally well in both traditional and contemporary outdoor schemes.

• Durable outdoor choice – As a calibrated outdoor sandstone (22 mm or thereabouts) with a riven surface, it is designed to perform well in UK outdoor environments with good weather-resistance, wear-resistance and slip behaviour.

Installation & care tips:

• Place the sample in your outdoor area in both sunlight and shade, and possibly when wet and dry, to assess how the tones and textures change.

• When you’re ready to purchase full slabs: ensure a well-prepared sub-base, suitable adhesive or bedding, consistent jointing and proper edge/detailing for longevity and optimal appearance.

• For maintenance: sweep debris regularly, rinse with warm soapy water occasionally, use a stiff brush as needed, and avoid harsh acid-based or inappropriate cleaners that may damage natural stone.

• For full orders: try to order from the same production batch to minimise shade variation; as a general rule allow ~10% extra material to cover cuts, breakages and future replacements.

In summary: This Buff Riven Sandstone sample gives you the chance to evaluate a premium outdoor stone paving option with warm, natural tones, genuine stone texture and durable performance—before committing to the full project.
