Natural sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of mainly quartzes so it is
often called quartz sandstone. In general, the sandstone has strong resistance to weathering.
Iron content
contained in sandstone formation
contributes to common reddish colors. Natural sandstone was formed in in-land
rivers or lakes, so it may contain certain visible fossils patterns. The most
popular finish for cut sandstone is honed (matte) or raven, depending on the different
applications. Sandstone can be quarried in large blocks and is commonly used in
the architectural project where large scale exterior decoration is needed, e.g.,
bench, vase, door surrounds and archways. Sandstones can also be used to make large columns, fireplaces,
pavers
and wall bricks.
To provide comprehensive solutions for sandstone buildings, Amlink Marble
offers a variety of cut sandstone colors, featuring QY and Sichuan Woodvein
sandstones that is similar to popular Arizona sandstone, light beige crystal
sandstones, comparable to Dakota sandstone in North America, as well as
traditional earth tone sandstones, QY yellow. If you are in the market you buy
sandstone slabs, blanks , floor tiles or wall covering, please browse through the following gallery
for sandstone pictures. Depending on the maximum sizes of blocks that
can be quarried, only certain sandstones may be used for other
carving and large fabrication applications. Visit
"sandstones for carving"
page for details. Due to its coarse grain nature, a "honed" finish is strongly
recommended for most sandstone building projects although other finish options
are available. Special discount sandstone prices are offered to volume purchasers such as resellers, hotel project owners, commercial and
residential developers.
