What Is Sawn Paving?
Sawn paving is sawn straight off the block rather than being split naturally. The sawn slabs are then cut down to size and the top surface is honed or sandblasted, 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 and features more pronounced patterns and colours.
A Robust & Long-lasting Option
Sawn Mint Indian sandstone paving will stand the test of time even in harsh weather and is suited to the British climate to offer a robust and long-lasting paving option which will last for decades. All of our products are designed for exterior use and riven surface textures will help to retain extra grip underfoot. Our sandstone paving is also frost-resistant, helping to keep your paving looking it’s best all year round!
Sealing Sandstone Paving
It’s generally advised to seal sandstone paving slabs to help prevent any staining, as well as helping to prevent the growth of any moss or algae. You may want to consider sealing your paving slabs, especially if your stone is light in colour, as any stains will be more visible. However, sealing is not compulsory and there is a wide range of sealing products on the market which will provide various results. Some sealants will simply seal and protect, whereas others can be used to enhance the colour of your slabs. Sealing your sandstone patio paving will also help to protect against other general wear such as fading which can sometimes occur over long periods in places where the stone is likely to see excessive use, such as public walkways. As for when to apply a sealer, there are no specific guidelines and most landscapers and tradespersons 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 Indian sandstone slabs to weather naturally before applying a sealant. We always advise speaking to a local tradesperson who will be able to assess the many variables within your environment and offer specific advice for your project.
We offer a range of sealing and cleaning products here which are all suitable for use on our buff sandstone. If in doubt, speak to one of our experts who would be happy to answer your questions and provide any advice you may need!
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 a non-calibrated stone as it eliminates any large variations in thickness between each slab, removing the need to consider this during the laying process. Our Riven Sandstone Paving is calibrated to 22mm and our Sawn Sandstone is calibrated to 20mm and an allowance should be made for +/- 5mm.
