Brisbane Sandstone Tiles

Sandstone is one of the most unique and beautiful stones out there. Every single inch of every single piece comes with a different design, shade, colour and tone.

It is also known as arenite and it’s a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand sized minerals. Most of sandstone is made up of quartz and feldspar as these two minerals are the most commons in the Earth’s crust. Variety of colours includes yellow, red, white, black, brown and gray. Sandstone is converted into quartzite through the process of heating and pressure. The most common cementing materials in sandstone are silica and calcium carbonate.

Cleaning Sandstone Tiles

Sandstone is a very porous stone. It will absorb water, stains, acid immediately if it has not been sealed previously. If natural sandstone has been stained there are several cleaning treatments that can be undertaken, however most prove unsuccessful. In this case, sand blasting is required to remove the absorbed stains.

It is commonly found in pavers and pool surrounds, balconies, stair cases, feature walls and retaining walls. Sometimes sandstone is left in its natural state when used externally. However, being so porous, algae, moss, mould and dirt can very quickly take over the natural beauty of sandstone.

Brisbane Tile Restoration has the best and most advanced solutions for cleaning, restoring and protecting sandstone in all areas. Being such a soft stone it should not be cleaned at pressures higher than 1000 psi. At Brisbane Tile Restoration we use special products and agitating methods to renew sandstone rather than relying on high pressure which can easily damage the surface.
