Why should I chose Himalayan sandstone over Travertine?
Density: Sandstone is a highly compacted, quartzbased rock.
No Pitting: Travertine is naturally full of holes that require synthetic fillers, these fillers pop out, crack or dissolve over time.
Weather resistance: Sandstone withstands heavy frost, intense sunand foot trafficwithout degrading.
Slip resistance: Sandstone has a natural, subte grit that provides excelent gripwhen wet. Travertine can become dangerousley slick unless heavily tumbled or textured.
Salt Tolerance: High quality Himalayan sandstone is highly resistant to salt attack, making it perfect for salt water pool surrounds.
Heat retention: Sandstone stays remarably coolunder foot during hot summer days compared to darker or denser pavers.
Maintenance and Longevity
Acid Resistance: Travertine is calcium-based and etches instantly if it touches acidic fluids like lemmon juice, wine or certain pool cleaners. Sandstone is highly resistant to acid etching.
Low Maintenance: Sandstone does not require the constant refilling of surface holes that travertine demands.
Easy Cleaning: A simple pressure wash and standard sealer keep sandstone in as new condition for years to come.
Design Flexability: It offers a timeless, earthy look that compliments modern, coastal and traditional architecture.
Unique Character: Unlike uniform, manufactured look-alikes, every sandstone paver is a unique piece of natural history.
Natural Stone Is A Solid Investment!!!
