Sandstone still does a great deal of work on Australian patios, courtyards and floors and the current collection sits across Natural White, Teakwood and Grey. Natural Split, Sandblasted and Honed change the character of the same stone considerably, so the finish deserves as much thought as the colour. The selection below runs through pavers, tiles, crazy paving, cobblestones and the project pieces that go with them.

White Sandstone WallingNatural White, Teakwood and Grey make up Stone Planet’s confirmed Sandstone colour range. Natural stone never behaves like a printed surface, so the colour spread across a courtyard or floor matters more than one isolated sample.
A larger area shows more tonal variation than a narrow path or a small room. Good planning starts by accepting that variation and then choosing the stone and finish that give the project the right overall character.
Natural White Sandstone is Stone Planet’s main public name for the pale Indian Sandstone product. Stone Planet also recognises Mint White as another name for the same product, while Himalayan Sandstone describes the broader Indian Sandstone offer rather than a separate colour.
Australian Sandstone is a different sourcing choice. Stone Planet can source it through Australian partners when a project specifically calls for local stone, and the Himalayan White and Australian Sandstone comparison gives that buyer decision useful context.
Similar trade names do not prove that two suppliers offer the same stone. Compare the actual product, finish, size and current material rather than buying from the name alone.
Teakwood Sandstone brings a warmer visual character into the range, while Grey Sandstone gives buyers a cooler neutral option. The current product determines which sizes, thicknesses and finishes Stone Planet can offer in each colour.
When a project uses several Sandstone formats, confirm the colour and finish across the complete requirement at the same time. That makes it easier to coordinate paving, coping, steps or wall pieces without assuming that every product shares the same specification.
Finish changes Sandstone substantially, so buyers should compare the surface as carefully as the colour. Natural Split keeps the strongest natural texture, Sandblasted creates a more even worked face, and Honed gives the stone a smoother appearance that shows colour and veining more clearly.
| Finish | How it looks | Current slip-evidence position |
| Natural Split | Natural broken texture that varies from piece to piece | Stone Planet has P5 evidence at finish level; match the report to the actual product before relying on it. |
| Sandblasted | Worked texture with a more even overall face | Stone Planet has P5 evidence at finish level; match the report to the actual product before relying on it. |
| Honed | Smoother face that shows colour and veining clearly | Stone Planet’s current category-level position is P3; confirm the current product/report match. |
Natural Split Sandstone keeps the stone’s broken face and makes texture part of the design. That finish can look particularly strong across larger paved areas because each piece contributes its own surface character.
Sandblasted Sandstone gives the face a more even texture while keeping a clearly worked natural-stone surface. Buyers who want texture without the stronger piece-to-piece relief of Natural Split often compare this finish closely.
Honed Sandstone gives the stone a smoother face and brings colour and veining forward. Stone Planet’s current category-level evidence places Honed at P3, while Natural Split and Sandblasted sit at P5; however, the report still needs to match the exact product and finish before anyone relies on the number for a project.
Do not use P3 as shorthand for indoors or P5 as shorthand for outdoors. The project and the actual evidence still decide whether the product suits the specification.
Stone Planet’s confirmed Sandstone range includes 15mm, 20mm and 30mm thicknesses. Those numbers describe the wider material range rather than a rule that assigns one thickness to Tiles, Pavers, indoor areas or vehicle use.
| Specification | Confirmed Sandstone position | What the buyer should check |
| Common sizes | 400 x 400mm and 600 x 400mm | Confirm the actual product, finish and format. |
| Thicknesses | 15mm, 20mm and 30mm across the wider range | Do not treat thickness as an indoor/outdoor or vehicle rating. |
| Calibration | Approx. +/-2mm where the actual product/specification supports it | Confirm calibration on the exact product. |
Calibration narrows the thickness range of the product. It does not promise identical pieces, faster installation or one universal fixing method.
Most buyers begin with a format rather than a geology lesson. Sandstone Pavers suit landscape paving decisions, Sandstone Tiles suit tiled floors and walls, and the wider Sandstone range also reaches into irregular paving, cobbles, pool edges, steps and wall stone.
Sandstone Pavers cover natural Sandstone paving for patios, courtyards, paths, alfresco areas and qualified pool projects. Sandstone Tiles cover natural Sandstone floor Tiles, wall Tiles and suitable indoor or outdoor tiled surfaces. The actual product decides size, thickness and finish in both formats.
Sandstone has strong commercial relevance in Crazy Paving and Cobblestones. Crazy Paving gives projects an irregular layout, while cobblestones use smaller units and often enter driveway, path and border discussions. These formats keep their own product and installation decisions, so the broad format categories remain the right place to compare them.
Stone Planet can also discuss Sandstone for pool coping, treads and risers, stepping stones, French Pattern and natural stone walling where the project and current product range support them. When one job uses several formats, confirm the related pieces early instead of solving the main floor or paving first and chasing the rest later.
Natural Sandstone paving can work across patios, courtyards, paths, alfresco areas and suitable pool projects. The actual Paver, finish, thickness, layout and project requirements should drive the decision rather than a blanket statement that all Sandstone works everywhere outdoors.
Sandstone also works as natural stone flooring where the Tile product and project suit the use. If the material choice is still open, Natural Stone Flooring gives a broader comparison across stone types before the project narrows to Sandstone.
Stone Planet does not rule Sandstone out for Pool Surrounds. Instead, the actual product, finish and project requirements decide whether Sandstone makes sense around the pool. For Driveways, Stone Planet starts with cobblestones and usually starts the broader material comparison with Granite cobblestones; Sandstone cobbles can still suit a project when the client specifically wants Sandstone and the project supports it.
India supplies most of Stone Planet’s Sandstone range. Stone Planet buys directly from Indian Sandstone quarries where applicable and processes relevant Indian Sandstone through its own factory in Rajasthan.
That factory gives Stone Planet direct visibility while the stone goes through sizing, finishing and production checks. It also gives project teams a practical route to discuss custom sizes, thicknesses, finishes and special pieces where production makes them feasible.
Stone Planet can also source Australian Sandstone through partners when a project specifically requires local stone. Stone Planet does not quarry or process that Australian material itself, so the supply path differs from the Indian range.
Stone Planet’s Sandstone production checks can include production photographs, random quality checks and dimensional or calibration checks while the work is underway. These checks improve visibility during production without turning natural stone into a perfectly uniform manufactured surface.
For custom project work, Stone Planet can discuss special sizes, thicknesses, finishes, coping, steps, walling and other pieces where production supports the requirement. The project still needs a feasibility check before anyone plans around a custom item.
A Sandstone supplier adds value when it can do more than show a finished pallet. Stone Planet combines direct Indian quarry buying where applicable with its own Rajasthan factory, so the team can follow relevant Indian Sandstone through production rather than only checking it after arrival.

No. Sandstone is highly heat reflective. Even in direct sunlight during the peak of summer, light coloured sandstone remains comfortable and safe for bare feet.
The dark lines running through the sandstone are natural iron oxide deposits that occurred during the formation of the stone. These bands are a hallmark of authentic natural sandstone. They add organic character and ensure no two pieces of stone ever look exactly the same.
Yes. Light shedding is a normal part of the settling process. When the stone is freshly cut and transported, some grains remain on the surface. After a few weeks of normal foot traffic, sweeping, and washing, the surface will settle, and the shedding will stop completely.
A natural cleft finish occurs when quarry workers manually split the stone along its natural fault lines. This is done a lot in Indian quarries due to the low cost of labour. This leaves a highly textured, rustic, and slip-resistant surface. A honed finish involves mechanically grinding the face of the stone until it is completely flat and smooth, making it ideal for indoor spaces.
Do not use harsh chemicals. Apply a dedicated alkaline stone cleaner to the stain. Let the product dwell on the surface to break down the droppings. Scrub the area gently with a nylon brush and rinse the stone thoroughly with clean water.
High-pressure washing with a pinpoint nozzle can blast away the natural grains from the surface of the sandstone tile or paver. It can strip off the protective sealer and damage the grout as well. Use a wide fan nozzle on low pressure and hold it thirty cm away from the surface.
Yes. You should hire a qualified stonemason or a landscaper experienced in laying natural stone. Sandstone requires specific handling, premium white adhesives, and specialized cutting blades
Sandstone can lighten slightly over many years, but it does not behave like surface coloured concrete. Its tones run through the body. Sealing and sensible cleaning routines help retain its character.
Travertine has holes on its surface and a more uniform base, while sandstone has visible grain and banding. In practice, travertine pavers often suit resort-style pools and floors, whereas sandstone pavers lean toward more rustic, grounded landscapes and paths.
Natural split and sandblasted finishes provide good grip to the sandstone even when wet. These textures make sandstone suitable for pool surrounds and outdoor areas where moisture occurs.
Yes. As a natural stone, sandstone requires less energy to produce than manufactured pavers. Ethically sourced options support sustainable building practices and reduce carbon footprint.
Stone Planet has warehouses in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane that stock sandstone tiles and pavers for immediate collection or delivery. Nationwide shipping options make the material accessible across all states and territories.
No. Himalayan Sandstone is a commercial term for the Indian Sandstone offer while Australian Sandstone is quarried here and comes through partners. They are different purchases with different supply routes and a quote for one should never be compared line for line against the other without accounting for that.
Often, yes but not automatically. Sandstone can be supplied as pavers, tiles, crazy paving, cobblestones, coping, stepping stones, treads, risers, walling and French Pattern among other project pieces and the specific combinations available vary by selection. Where a design leans on several formats at once, confirm the whole set at the start rather than one format at a time.
Custom sizes, thicknesses, project finishes and special formats can be discussed for Indian Sandstone, since it can be processed through the Rajasthan factory. Feasibility, quantity and timing depend on the job and need confirming before anyone plans around them.
Ask for the current evidence covering that exact product and finish and check that the report matches what is being supplied. A rating recorded against one product in a finish family does not carry across to every product in that family and no rating on its own confirms that a stone suits a particular area.
