What You're Getting – Shop Premium Quality

This is Raj Green Indian sandstone in popular 900x600mm format with premium sawn and honed smooth finish. You're getting authentic quarried sandstone with distinctive multicolor character that's been professionally processed to deliver contemporary refined surface. The warm blend of greens, greys, and browns creates visual interest impossible with single-color materials while smooth finish brings traditional palette into modern territory.

Understanding the Premium Finish:

Sawn and honed processing represents premium specification requiring extensive machining:

The sawn process:

• Diamond blade sawing creates flat surface
• Removes natural riven texture revealing stone interior
• Creates precise dimensional consistency
• Enables architectural surface quality

The honed process:

• Mechanical grinding smooths sawn surface
• Creates matte refined appearance
• Maintains subtle natural texture
• Preserves slip resistance despite smooth finish

The result delivers contemporary refined surface showcasing Raj Green's multicolor character differently than traditional riven finish. Smooth surface lets you see color variations more clearly while flat profile creates architectural sophistication.

Raj Green Color Character:

Even with smooth processing, Raj Green remains distinctively bold multicolor character stone:

The color palette:

• Foundation tones: Warm greens, cool greys, earthy browns
• Distribution: Mixed throughout individual pieces and varying between slabs
• Visual effect: Rich natural depth creating traditional warmth
• Smooth surface enhancement: Colors appear more saturated and defined
• Wet appearance: Dramatic deepening creating stunning visual transformation

This isn't subtle single-tone material. Raj Green delivers bold natural character making statements whether finished riven or smooth. Some pieces lean green, others grey, some brown – this variation defines the material rather than representing defects.

The smooth finish actually makes color variation more obvious. Where riven texture somewhat masks color changes through surface relief, smooth surface reveals color transitions more clearly. This means more dramatic visual interest but also more apparent variation between pieces.

Smooth Finish vs Riven Character:

Understanding how smooth processing changes the material helps clarify whether this specification suits your requirements:

Smooth sawn & honed advantages:

• Contemporary refined appearance (architectural sophistication)
• Enhanced color clarity (variations more visible and defined)
• Easier cleaning (flat surface wipes clean more readily)
• More formal aesthetic (suits modern garden design)
• Precise dimensional consistency (simplified level installation)
• Shows natural stone character through color not texture

Traditional riven advantages:

• Authentic traditional appearance (cottage garden character)
• Texture hides minor surface marks (easier day-to-day maintenance)
• Better grip when wet (more pronounced surface relief)
• More forgiving installation (texture masks slight level variations)
• Lower cost (minimal processing)
• Shows natural stone character through texture and color

For contemporary settings where refined appearance matters, smooth processing delivers architectural quality while maintaining Raj Green's distinctive multicolor palette. For traditional settings prioritizing authentic texture, riven finish works better.

The 900x600mm Format:

The large rectangular format delivers multiple benefits:

Each slab covers 0.54 square meters enabling efficient coverage. Fewer pieces required means less jointing work and faster installation than smaller formats covering equivalent area. The substantial size creates contemporary proportions while rectangular shape enables varied laying patterns.

The 900x600mm dimension represents excellent balance between coverage efficiency and handling practicality. Large enough for impressive visual impact, manageable enough for reasonable two-person installation without specialized equipment.

Premium Specification Trade-offs:

Smooth sawn and honed Raj Green represents premium positioning with associated considerations:

Premium pricing:
The extensive machining required for smooth finish costs significantly more than basic riven processing. You're paying for refined surface quality, dimensional precision, contemporary appearance. This represents premium investment in architectural surface specification.

Thinner calibrated thickness:
The 20mm calibrated thickness reflects smooth processing requirements. Sawn and honed finishing requires consistent thickness enabling precision machining. This compares to 22mm typical for riven specifications. The 20mm thickness remains entirely appropriate for outdoor pedestrian applications.

Enhanced color visibility:
The smooth surface makes color variation more apparent. This can be advantage (more dramatic visual interest) or consideration (more obvious variation between pieces) depending on preferences. Worth understanding before purchasing.

Surface care requirements:
Smooth surfaces show marks more readily than textured finishes. Regular cleaning becomes more important maintaining pristine appearance. However, the flat surface also cleans more easily when you do maintain it.

Contemporary vs Traditional Suitability:

Smooth Raj Green particularly suits specific aesthetic contexts:

Ideal applications:

• Contemporary garden designs
• Modern architectural properties
• Minimalist outdoor spaces incorporating natural materials
• Design-focused landscapes balancing refinement with character
• Transitional spaces bridging traditional and contemporary
• Settings wanting multicolor warmth without rustic texture

The fusion of traditional multicolor palette and contemporary smooth finish creates unique aesthetic position. You get Raj Green's distinctive character without traditional riven texture. This works brilliantly in spaces wanting natural stone personality with refined execution.

Less suited to:

• Traditional cottage gardens (riven works better)
• Rustic country properties (texture adds appropriate character)
• Period homes (traditional riven more authentic)
• Ultra-contemporary minimalism (single-tone materials simpler)

The multicolor character can feel too busy for pure minimalism while smooth finish can feel too refined for traditional settings. Understanding aesthetic fit prevents disappointment.

Installation Considerations:

Smooth calibrated sandstone requires proper installation maximizing appearance and performance:

The 20mm calibrated thickness combined with flat smooth surface enables relatively straightforward level installation. Consistent thickness and flat surface make achieving even finish more achievable than with variable riven materials.

However, the smooth surface shows installation quality clearly. Any substrate imperfections, level variations, or joint inconsistencies appear more obvious on flat surfaces than textured. This means proper preparation becomes even more critical.

Start with minimum 150mm well-compacted Type 1 MOT sub-base followed by 50mm sharp sand and cement bedding. The smooth surface demands quality substrate preventing future settlement or movement.

The large format means comfortable two-person handling. Each slab weighs approximately 22-25kg – manageable for team lift but too heavy for safe solo handling. Maintain proper team throughout installation preserving pace and physical wellbeing.

Installation Tips

Smooth sawn and honed Raj Green requires proper installation maximizing both appearance and investment protection. Start with 150mm minimum well-compacted Type 1 MOT sub-base. Thorough compaction absolutely essential for stable foundation. Follow with 50mm sharp sand and cement bedding layer using 4:1 mix ratio.

The smooth calibrated surface demands quality substrate. Any substrate imperfections show clearly on flat surfaces. Proper preparation prevents future disappointment. The investment in premium smooth finish deserves quality installation maximizing specification advantages.

Set each piece on full mortar bed ensuring complete contact. Despite smooth surface making bedding easier than riven materials, proper technique still essential. Voids beneath pieces cause instability and potential cracking. Take time ensuring solid support.

The 900x600mm format means comfortable two-person handling. Each slab weighs approximately 22-25kg – manageable for team but too heavy for safe solo work. Maintain proper team throughout installation preserving installation pace and physical wellbeing.

The rectangular format allows flexible laying patterns. Straight grid creates clean contemporary appearance. Stretcher bond adds visual interest through offset joints. Random offset creates organic appearance requiring more planning.

Maintain consistent 8-10mm joints throughout installation. Use spacers ensuring uniform joint width. The smooth surface makes inconsistent jointing more obvious than with textured finishes. Precision matters maintaining refined appearance.

Cut pieces carefully using diamond blade wet saw with proper support. The multicolor character means cut edges less obvious than with single-tone materials. Plan cuts minimizing wastage while achieving clean edges.

Clean mortar residue promptly during installation. The smooth surface means dried mortar harder to remove than from textured finishes but also shows residue more obviously. Keep damp sponge handy throughout installation wiping excess before setting.

Work from multiple pack pallets simultaneously mixing pieces from different batches. This ensures even color distribution avoiding obvious clustering of similar-toned pieces. Random variation looks intentional when evenly distributed, clustered when poorly mixed.

The warm multicolor palette works beautifully in contemporary settings. Complements modern furniture, architectural planting, contemporary lighting. The color variation means avoiding perfect matching between pieces – embrace natural variation as design feature rather than fighting it.

What to Expect with Natural Stone

Here's what makes this product special – it's genuine quarried sandstone with premium sawn and honed smooth processing delivering contemporary refined surface while maintaining Raj Green's distinctive multicolor character.

The color remains stable over time. Raj Green's warm palette doesn't fade dramatically – develops gentle patina enhancing rather than altering character. The distinctive greens, greys, browns remain distinctive whether installed yesterday or decades ago.

Expect significant color variation between pieces and within individual slabs. This isn't quality issue – fundamental characteristic of Raj Green. Some pieces lean green, others grey, some brown. The collective effect creates the overall "Raj Green" appearance when installed. The smooth surface makes this variation more apparent than riven finishes.

The color deepens dramatically when wet. Rain intensifies all tones creating stunning visual transformation. Greens become richer, greys deeper, browns warmer. This wet enhancement creates depth dry stone only hints at. Your patio genuinely changes character depending on weather.

The smooth surface feels refined underfoot. Not completely flat like polished materials – maintains subtle natural texture providing adequate grip. The honed finish creates contemporary appearance while preserving functional slip resistance. Comfortable barefoot, confident walking in any weather.

Expect natural stone characteristics typical of genuine quarried material. Occasional fossil marks, mineral veining, natural inclusions – these are hallmarks of authentic material rather than defects. The smooth surface showcases these characteristics as natural features.

The material handles UK weather superbly. Frost, rain, temperature changes, everyday wear – natural sandstone proves itself through decades of British installations. The smooth specification weathers beautifully developing character rather than deteriorating.

The smooth surface shows marks more readily than textured finishes. Light dust, leaf staining, minor traffic patterns appear more obvious on flat surfaces. This means regular cleaning becomes more important. However, the flat surface also cleans more easily when you do maintain it – quick wipe removes what textured surfaces trap.

Care & Maintenance

Smooth sawn and honed Raj Green requires reasonable maintenance attention with smooth surface demanding more frequent cleaning than textured finishes but also cleaning more easily when you do maintain it.

Regular sweeping removes debris efficiently. The multicolor palette helps hide minor marks between cleanings though smooth surface shows dust more readily than textured alternatives. Weekly sweeping keeps appearance fresh.

Wipe spills and stains promptly. The smooth surface means liquids don't penetrate as readily as porous textured finishes but also shows staining more obviously. Quick attention prevents permanent marking.

Pressure wash 2-3 times yearly removing accumulated grime. Use moderate pressure (1500-2000 PSI) maintaining consistent distance. The smooth surface responds well to pressure washing revealing fresh stone beneath weathered surface layer. Easier cleaning than textured materials.

Sealing is essential for smooth sandstone. Quality stone sealer protects surface while enhancing color depth. The smooth finish accepts sealer well with consistent absorption. Reapply every 2-3 years maintaining protection. The smooth surface makes sealing application easier and more effective than textured alternatives.

The multicolor palette naturally hides minor staining better than single-tone materials. Light marks blend into color variation rather than standing out obviously. This practical advantage helps between proper cleanings.

Monitor joint condition periodically. The smooth surface makes joint deterioration more visually obvious than with textured materials. Repair damaged joints promptly maintaining structural integrity and refined appearance.

The warm color palette develops beautiful patina over time. Natural weathering enhances rather than detracts from appearance. Many installations look better after years of weathering than when newly installed – the material genuinely improves with age.
