Browse our collection below to find the perfect honed or lightly textured Sandstone Indoor Tiles for your bathrooms, kitchens, and main living areas.
Natural sandstone tiles bring warmth and character to interior floors, walls, and covered outdoor areas. They are designed specifically for direct glue-down installation over concrete slabs. These thin and lightweight sandstone tiles deliver the high-end look of solid stone without overloading the indoor floors.
Stone Planet calibrates sandstone for an interior floor to a sleek 12mm or 15mm depth. This calibration ensures every tile sits perfectly with the next. Tilers apply a premium stone adhesive directly to a clean concrete slab, laying the tiles firmly in place. This method provides an incredibly stable floor that handles residential movement with ease.
Sandstone indoor tiles suit projects where the floor should feel natural and grounded. Sandstone Outdoor Tiles extend that same look onto terraces and raised platforms.
The main considerations are:
The soft and sandy colour of natural sandstone reflects natural light from windows, making closed living rooms feel much larger and brighter. These tiles can absorb ambient room heat during the day and release it slowly at night
Architects and interior designers frequently specify sandstone bathroom tiles to create a calming atmosphere. The natural veining in the sandstone adds organic texture to shower walls and bathroom floors. When properly sealed with a good-quality penetrating sealer, the stone effectively resists moisture, soap scum, and everyday cosmetics.
Sandstone Outdoor Tiles can be installed on terraces and balconies where a slab-based platform exists. Here, a sandstone paver is not needed. Sometimes there can be height constraints as well. These tiles let homeowners run sandstone onto elevated surfaces without changing material. This application allows you to run the exact same 12mm tile from your kitchen straight out the back doors to the alfresco area.
Sandstone tiles can be used on different wall cladding features. Stone Planet also imports rockface and traditional wall cladding in Sandstone. They can be taken up onto feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and stair walls. Using the same sandstone on floors and walls in selected areas helps tie a scheme together without overwhelming it.
For a sandstone to be acceptable for indoors, the surface finish is processed differently for these Sandstones in comparison to outdoor stone flooring requirements. A honed finish is the ideal finish in sandstone for indoors. It produces a smooth and matte face where the grain remains visible. This finish suits interior sandstone flooring best,
Some projects use natural split or sandblasted tiles on interior feature walls where texture adds visual appeal to the area. These finishes work well in entryways or zones where the tactile quality of the natural stone can enhance the design. Architects prefer using sandstone in these regions in different rockface finishes as well.
Regular sweeping removes grit from the top surface of these stone tiles that could scratch the surface. A microfiber mop with warm water handles cleaning without introducing any harsh chemicals.
Deep cleaning requires a pH-neutral stone cleaner, which should be mixed with warm or lukewarm water. Apply in small sections with a soft mop or cloth and then clean thoroughly. It is suggested to never use acidic products that could erode the surface of the sandstone tiles.
Resealing every two to three years for the indoor sandstone tiles maintains the protective barrier against spills and wear. Choose a breathable sealer that blocks liquids while allowing moisture to escape from within the stone.
No. You cannot glue sandstone tiles directly to timber floorboards, plywood, or particleboard. They bend when you walk on them and expand with humidity. This can crack the stone tiles. Your tiler must install a rigid slate underlay over the timber first and then glue the tiles to that stable surface.
Sandstone is a porous natural stone, which means dark or coloured grout can soak into the surface during installation. This can leave a permanent smudge on the surface. To prevent this, your tiler must apply a coat of penetrating pre-sealer to the tiles before they spread the grout.
Yes, if you leave the spill sitting on the surface for a long time, it can damage the sandstone kitchen tiles. Acidic liquids chemically react with the minerals in the stone, eating away the honed finish and leaving a dull mark. You must seal the floor immediately after installation.
No. A 12mm tile lacks the structural strength to handle the concentrated weight of a vehicle. It is preferred to use 30mm sandstone pavers for driveways with a suitable finish and sealer.
Sandstone tiles are more sensitive to acids, so cleaners must be chosen carefully. Sealing needs to be kept up.
In many cases, sandstone tiles can be lightly honed or cleaned professionally to restore some of the original appearance. The end result depends on thickness, finish, and wear pattern.
Sandstone floor tiles can be cleaned using a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft mop. Avoid any commercial cleaners as they can damage the stone.
