The popularity of sandstone has grown in recent years because it can be customised to meet nearly any budget or design need. It is also an aesthetically pleasing option with its beautiful colour ranges and designs (included finishes) that will add personality to your commercial interior or exterior space while keeping the environment in mind and addressing the need and purview of sustainable and green building materials.
In fact, sandstone, as a natural stone material, is 100% recyclable; even sandstone waste can be crushed and used for civil and government landscaping purposes. With an increased emphasis on green and environmentally sustainable materials for commercial projects, Australian sandstone is a favoured building material as it has one of the lowest carbon emissions especially in comparison to other building materials such as concrete and bricks.
Gosford Quarries is at the forefront of environmentally responsible sourcing, extraction and rejuvenation making us the green choice for Sandstone Cladding, Sandstone Retaining Walls, Sandstone Capping and Sandstone Heritage Restoration Work on Commercial Projects across the country.
“Commercial Projects bring elements of scale, intricacy and grandeur to the supply of sandstone which are easily produced using Gosford Quarries’ state-of-the-art Technology and world-class processing facilities.”
