Sandstone

Natural Fine Grade Sandstone Sawn For Masonry (NFG)

This fine-grained sandstone has been used for centuries to construct public and private buildings, in the South East of England and across Europe. The warm honey-coloured tones of this natural stone weather to distinguished silvery autumnal shades and compliments our Wealden Sussex Sandstone walling range.

With its fine sedimentary striations it can be used to form masonry, architectural embellishments and is exceedingly hard wearing.
