Rippon Buff Indian Sandstone is an eye-catching multi-coloured paving option featuring underlying buff tones.

This elegant stone looks great when wet and will stay looking its best all year round!
Rippon Buff Sandstone Paving
Transform your garden or patio with the medley of natural colours and tones found within our Rippon Buff Indian Sandstone. This choice of garden paving offers the charm and appeal that only natural sandstone paving can offer.
With beautiful variations in colour throughout, each paver features its own unique tones formed naturally over thousands of years, promising your garden or patio a finish filled with character. Choose from a naturally riven surface texture or a smooth, sawn & honed option to find the right style of garden paving for you.
Riven or Sawn & Honed. What’s the difference?
A riven surface is created when the stone is split along its natural layers, providing a truly authentic finish. This process leaves beautiful variations in texture throughout the surface of each slab, one of the main appeals of Riven Sandstone Paving. Each riven slab features hand-dressed edges which add to the natural, organic look and feel to create a timeless appeal to any traditional design. This style of sandstone paving is suited to traditional settings and is a great alternative to Yorkstone, whilst also less expensive!
Sawn sandstone is sawn straight off the block rather than being split naturally. The sawn slabs are cut down to size and the top surface is honed, creating a smooth finish with a slight sheen. Our Smooth Sandstone Paving is sawn on all 6 sides, meaning that the 4 edges are also straight and machine-cut with a smooth finish to complete the contemporary look. Sawn sandstone paving offers an entirely different appeal to riven sandstone with more pronounced patterns and colours across the surface. The sawn slabs have a level of natural slip resistance and, as long as the paving is maintained, the stone will retain its grip underfoot. We advise taking the usual care and precautions when walking on the slabs when wet, but the slabs are not known to be slippery and are designed specifically for outdoor use.
Sealing Sandstone Paving
It’s generally advised to seal paving to help prevent staining, as well as helping to prevent the growth of any moss or algae. You may want to consider sealing your slabs if your stone is light in colour, as any stains will be more visible, but sealing is not compulsory and there are plenty of options that will provide various results! Some sealants will simply seal and protect, whereas others can even be used to enhance the colour of your slabs. Sealing sandstone paving will also help to protect against other general wear such as fading which can sometimes occur over long periods. As for when to apply a sealer, there are no specific guidelines and most landscapers will have their own tried and tested methods. Some people choose to seal their paving slabs before laying to prevent any staining during the laying process and others prefer to leave their stone unsealed for up to a year, allowing the sandstone to weather naturally first. To find out what is best for you, we always advise speaking to a local tradesperson who will be able to assess the needs of your project. You can find out more about Sealing Paving Slabs on our blog!
What is Calibrated Sandstone Paving?
The term ‘Calibrated’ means that the slabs have been cut to a consistent thickness. Calibrated sandstone paving is easier to lay than uncalibrated slabs as it eliminates any large variations in thickness between each paver, removing the need to consider this during the laying process.
Natural Colours & Variations
Sandstone products are entirely natural and will feature variations in colour, tone and pattern. This is a feature of the product and our product images will give a great overview of some of the natural variations you could receive. Colours will appear more vibrant when wet and subtler prior to installation before the stone has absorbed any moisture.
