Sandstone Design Porcelain Pavers & Pool Coping
Sandstone Porcelain Pavers are the beautiful alternative to natural sandstone pavers. However, unlike natural sandstone which is a highly porous stone that is prone to erosion from exposure to salt, chlorine and moisture, porcelain sandstone is made from clay and is extremely durable, dense and resistant to salt, chlorine and moisture. As such, sandstone porcelain pavers are the more practical alternative for flooring around pool surrounds and any other outdoor areas that are exposed to the elements and weather extremities.
Our Sandstone Porcelain Paver collection strongly resembles the natural bands and veinings, sandy textures and deep orange and yellow colours found in natural sandstone. Each porcelain paver is unique and exudes elegance and warmth. These pavers add a homely touch wherever they are installed and are like a ray of sunshine to your outdoor landscape. Porcelain sandstone pavers are perfect for patios, entertainment areas, outdoor paths, home entrances and (as previously mentioned) pool surrounds.
Unlike natural sandstone pavers that require meticulous attention and detail with maintenance including regular sealing, cleaning and general upkeep, porcelain sandstone pavers are much easier to maintain. They do not require sealing or pre-sealing, and as the surface isn’t sandy and porous, you can relax knowing that spills and falling leaves will not cause permanent and irreversible stains on the stone. So if you have a young (and growing family), a busy schedule or just generally want to simplify your life, porcelain sandstone pavers are a more suitable option compared to natural sandstone pavers.
Armstone’s Sandstone porcelain pavers are non-slip and have a micro-sanded finish – both benefits makes them an ideal choice for pool surrounds. Additionally, we supply these sandstone porcelain pavers in bullnose, pencil-round and drop-edge coping for pool installations. This way you can create a pool area with the complete porcelain sandstone finishing touch.
Armstone’s Sandstone Porcelain Pavers collection includes the beautiful Cattai pavers. These have bright copper, orange, ochre and white bands throughout the surface of each paver. The technology with which the pavers are made is so advanced that the pavers resemble the grainy, sandpapery texture of natural sandstone. If you are looking for a like-to-like comparison, our Cattai Sandstone Porcelain Pavers strongly resemble our Sydney and Teakwood Sandstone Pavers. Browse these here.
Like all other porcelain pavers, sandstone porcelain is resistant to frost, heat, moss and mould. As such, they stay cool underfoot, especially on hot Sydney summer days, and because they are not porous, they do not absorb moisture. This means the sandstone won’t grow mouldy during the cold and wet winter periods. While natural sandstone pavers have some variance in size and thickness between each paver due the quarry and cut process, porcelain sandstone pavers are uniform in both size and thickness. So if you’re looking for consistency in your outdoor flooring project, sandstone porcelain pavers are more suitable than natural sandstone pavers.
Additionally, porcelain sandstone offers more flexibility in the installation process. These pavers can be installed on road base, sand, grass, pedestals and slabs. Their dense and durable nature also means that sandstone porcelain pavers have a very high resistance to weight. So if you love the sandstone-look and want to install it in a high traffic area like a path, pool surrounds or driveway, porcelain pavers are a more practical choice.
Whether your front or backyard has a modern or traditional design, sandstone porcelain pavers will add a touch of homeliness and warmth to your outdoors.
