Residential Sandstone
The natural and beautiful colours of Australian sandstone can be one of the most striking and engaging features of landscaping projects and architectural designs. Particularly when it comes to tiling, paving, cladding and capping where the visual face becomes the hero feature with our range of banded sandstone colours.
Sandstone retaining walls often referred to as “solid block walling”, are a common feature of civil and residential landscaping projects. However, many do not realise that dimension cut, large sandstone blocks, can also be used for the foundations of contemporary sandstone houses and buildings. Retaining walls, therefore, cross between residential, commercial and civil in their application and purpose in architectural projects.
Whether you are an architect or a residential homeowner, if you are thinking of home renovations with the current $25k homeowners grant, here are some application ideas of Australian Sandstone to incorporate into, or innovate from, project designs.
