A calibrated, riven finish sandstone with a mix of brown, beige, dark green, and grey tones; Raj Blend sandstone creates the traditional autumn palette of colours. Our range of natural stone paving is ethically sourced and is delivered directly from the factory in Kota, India.
These natural sandstone slabs are ideal for garden patios and pathways, and with their rich finish, will blend in with most external areas.
This Raj Blend sandstone paving is calibrated to 18mm or 22mm thick. As per BSEN standards the paving is +/- 2mm on thickness. As Indian sandstone is a softer, less dense material than other natural stones, a thicker dimensional paving size of 22mm is the most commonly used in the UK market.
Calibrated paving means that the slabs have been cut down to a consistent thickness of 22 or 18mm, therefore they are quicker and easier to lay as you do not need to keep adjusting your mortar bed to achieve a level patio surface.
The beautiful riven surface provides excellent slip resistance and is ideal when creating a patio or space where a more traditional or rustic style is desired. Raj Blend is a hard wearing sandstone and with some regular maintenance, will last for many years to come.
Natural sandstone paving is also colourfast, unlike concrete paving, where the paving typically fades in direct sunlight.
Sandstone is porous, which means that it is not impervious to spills and weathering. Your stone can be protected using Ceetect Aqua, our water-based sealant that will also minimise the impact on the colour and natural appearance of your sandstone paving.
Indian sandstone has been used for many years in the UK and is less prone to thermal expansion/contraction cracks than concrete.
