Understanding Gosford Quarries Sandstone Pricing
Many variables will affect the cost of sandstone supply in Australia. Considerations such as colour range, thickness, and size will impact the cost of sandstone when quoted and priced per project, such as sandstone cladding, sandstone paving, sandstone tiles, sandstone retaining walls, sandstone slabs, sandstone blocks, and sandstone retaining wall blocks.
How Sandstone Application and Specification Affect Pricing
The intended application for various sandstone products will influence our recommendations for thicknesses based on functionality and durability in each individual project. Therefore, providing set price lists for such a customisable material is redundant in our industry.
Getting the Right Expert Advice from Gosford Quarries for Your Sandstone Project
We highly recommend that you speak to one of our dedicated sales team members. They have years of experience and expertise in sandstone and can recommend the best product, thickness, texture finish, and colour to enhance and fulfill the functionality of your project.
An example of how the prices may vary would be considerations such as
- Sandstone Paving thicknesses will vary based on the substrate on which they are intended to be laid. For example, if the pavers are designed on a compressed sand base, we recommend a thicker paver than if the stone paver was laid on a concrete substrate where thinner paving could be applied.
- Regarding Sandstone Cladding, our recommendations for the thickness of cladding would also be variable based on the height you intend to clad your wall and what fixings you intend to use to secure the sandstone to your substrate.
Sandstone Retaining Wall Blocks can be customised in thickness to accommodate the height at which you require your wall to be built. Stability and load-bearing are considered when recommending any sandstone retaining product thickness and texture.
Sandstone Colour Ranges in Sandstone Pricing
The colours you nominate can affect the cost of sandstone products. This is based on the availability and sourcing of various colour ranges from our quarries and what we can source anytime.
Being a natural product, sandstone selectivity can drastically affect the cost of the material based on the time, labour, and wastage involved in sourcing and eliminating variations in the stone.
Also, we base our quotes on a project-to-project basis to accommodate all requests, consider the project’s size and nature, and remain competitively priced based on industry standard pricing.
