Beige Sandstone, in specific, is a rare kind with textures that reflect excellent earthy

3. The Properties Of Beige Sandstone
• Although Beige Sandstone is strong and durable it is more porous than natural
stones like granite or slate. Its intrinsic qualities fairly resemble that of marble in
terms of the water absorption capacity. But considering the toughness, the stone
is hard.
• That said, this quality assures that the natural stone will endure for at least a
lifetime with proper care. It is important to choose the stone with the right finish
(depending on the use). For example, a honed finish is best for interior flooring
and polished finish is good for countertops.
• If you are looking for an environmentally friendly option, sandstone is one of the
best options to go with. As the material is quarried from the earth, it degrades
over time (this takes time). It is unlike materials like vinyl that are composed of
plastic.

kitchen and bathroom countertops, wall cladding, facade, flooring,

and tan to gold and red create aesthetics that mirror a beach or a
desert. Considering its durability, homeowners prefer using the
sandstone in high traffic areas.
