Stone structures have an air of solidity and quality which the best imitations of cement, block or brickwork fail to reach and which will always demand that important structures be built in stone.

The feelings of security and trust engendered in the public mind by adequate solid stone Government Buildings, banks, etc are by no means unimportant and are well worthy of encouragement and development.

Policy of utilising stone in the construction of its gracious homes and various Government departments has brought admiration from not only the citizens of this State but also visitors from around the world.

Is it really made of sand?
While this stone is called "sandstone" which has connotations of something quite soft, it's actually very dense (or hard). The mPa of our sandstone ranges from 46 - 69 mPa (measure of hardness). To give you some idea, the concrete slabs for average size housing floors are approximately 25 mpa.

Is sandstone easy to clean?
Yes, if cared for properly.

How do you get the colors in the stone?
The colors are natural and nothing is added to the stone process - only quarrying, cutting and polishing - we do not paint or bake these colors into the stone.

Will the colors fade?
No, these colors come from the minerals that were washed through the stone during its formation and have remained there since that time.

I thought "Jurassic" was a movie term?
The Jurassic era is part of the time by which the Stone Age is measured. The Stone Age is referred to as the Mesozoic era. Triassic and Jurassic form part of the Mesozoic era.

Yes.

Do you make re-constituted sandstone?
No, only the real original sandstone.

Where do you export to?

It's as durable as any other natural product.

Should internal floors be sealed in non-greasy areas?
