From Rugged to Refined: Understanding Each Sandstone Finish

From the rugged allure of rock-faced finishes to the refined precision of diamond-sawn or honed sandstone, each finish presents a unique character.

Bullnose Sandstone Finish

The Bullnose Finish is a testament to sandstone’s elegant versatility, offering a smoothly rounded edge that brings a soft, refined touch to any project. Perfect for steps, pool coping, and garden edging, it combines safety and aesthetic appeal.

Rockfaced Sandstone Finish

The rockfaced finish is created by chiselling the stone’s edge to reveal its natural texture, creating an organic, rugged effect that adds depth and character to any design. Perfect for exterior walls, landscape features, and more, it can blend seamlessly into natural surroundings or stand out as a focal point.

Diamond-Sawn Sandstone Finish

Crafted using diamond-tipped blades, the diamond-sawn finish boasts a clean, flat surface that highlights the subtle hues and natural veins of the sandstone. This creates a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that suits facades, flooring, and internal walls.

Hydrasplit Sandstone Finish

Created with hydraulic splitters, the hydrasplit finish exposes the inherent strength and raw beauty of sandstone. It creates a uniquely rugged appearance that’s ideal for landscaping elements such as garden edging, retaining walls, and bold architectural features.

Gang-Sawn Sandstone Finish

This finish is created using gang-saws, which cut the sandstone’s surface with multiple blades simultaneously. This creates a lightly textured surface marked by uniform, linear striations. The subtle texture of the gang-sawn finish suits modern and traditional styles alike.

Heritage Sandstone Finishes

At Gosford Quarries, our range of heritage sandstone finishes pay homage to sandstone’s rich history and craftsmanship. They are ideal for heritage restoration projects, as well as for lending a historical air to modern builds.

Sparrow-Pecked Heritage Sandstone Finish

Sparrow-pecked sandstone is characterised by a series of small, shallow indentations across the sandstone surface, mimicking the effect of a bird pecking at the stone. It provides a unique texture that adds depth and historical significance to the stone.

Convict-Picked Heritage Sandstone Finish

This sandstone finish is steeped in history. It features more pronounced, chiselled marks that reflect the tools traditionally used by convicts in quarrying and shaping sandstone for a rugged, handcrafted look.

Boasted Heritage Sandstone Finish

Achieved with a broad chisel, the boasted finish produces a series of parallel striations on the sandstone surface, giving it a linear texture. This technique, reminiscent of historical stone preparation methods, lends a structured yet rustic appeal to the stone.

Chiselled Heritage Sandstone Finish

Chiselled sandstone showcases the artistry of traditional stonemasonry. Its clearly defined chisel marks create a richly textured surface. Each mark tells a story of craftsmanship, adding a layer of visual interest and historical depth to the sandstone.

These heritage sandstone finishes allow architects, and designers, to incorporate elements of history and artisanal beauty into their projects.

Sandstone Edge Finishes

At Gosford Quarries, we provide a range of edge finishes to suit traditional and modern designs alike. Each finish brings its own unique aesthetic and functional advantages.

Pencil Round Sandstone Edge Finish

Characterised by its soft, rounded edges, the pencil round sandstone finish creates a subtle curve on sandstone surfaces, reducing sharpness and adding a gentle touch to the stone’s appearance.

Chamfer Sandstone Edge Finish

The chamfer finish is a slightly angled or sloped cut on the edges of the stone. This is usually applied to prevent the corners chipping on sawn edge blocks, as well as adding interest to the edge details of the stone.

Bevelled Sandstone Edge Finish

Similar to the chamfer, but with a more pronounced angle, the bevelled sandstone finish offers a dynamic edge treatment that catches the light, enhancing the texture and colour of the sandstone.

Margin Sandstone Edge Finishes

Offering a precise, clean edge, margin finishes (sometimes referred to as tooled margin finishes) are tailored for projects that require a clear boundary or delineation, giving a neat, finished look to the sandstone.

Our sandstone edge finishes elevate the aesthetic of sandstone applications, from paving and cladding to custom architectural elements.
