  • The Gang Sawn and Bush-hammered Sandstone Finish offer an exfoliated, textured finish to the face of the stone
  • A popular slip-resistant surface allowing footwear traction in wet weather

The Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish is a unique, pitted finish giving the sandstone a rough, texture surface.  Gang Sawn finish is the “rustic cousin” of the smooth diamond sawn finish.  This is a finish created using heritage listed traditional “gangsaw” machinery and is offered in only 50mm and 75mm thicknesses. This traditional finish gives the sandstone an exfoliated rough textured surface for visual interest.

Similarly, the Bush Hammered Sandstone Finish offers a rugged, pitted texture, ideal for enhancing slip resistance and adding rustic charm to outdoor spaces. Its unique aesthetic makes it perfect for paving, cladding, and architectural accents. This finish is applied to a diamond sawn stone and is ideal as it can be applied to blocks and stone of any size.

The Gosford Quarries Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish

The Gang Sawn Finish has a particularly great slip-resistant quality, making it perfect for swimming pool sounds, such as in sandstone paving and tiling, sandstone steps, and outdoor areas.

The Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish is also a popular choice for indoor use. It offers the texture of natural sandstone without eating into precious living areas by using larger sandstone products such as sandstone blocks.

Regard Gang Sawn as an alternative to Diamond Sawn as it still looks formal and provides a neat looking finish in appearance while also having a wonderful texture that adds a warmth and natural feel to the sandstone.

The Gang Sawn finish is perfect for any dimension cut sandstone product made exactly to your specifications and need.

Why Choose The Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish?

Usually, an architect, landscape architect or homeowner have a very particular idea in mind with a sandstone project.

It is important for whoever the person is, and whatever they do, to be able to choose the right sandstone colour range, right sandstone product and right sandstone finish to complete the look and execute the best version of their imagined designs and plans.

When striving to achieve the right character and aesthetic feel to the look of your sandstone project you want it to both blend into surroundings and be functional as a material.

This applies whether the concern is slip-resistance as in steps and pavers or thermally stable as in sandstone walling, cladding, pool coping and paving.

The Gang Sawn Finish (and hence overall visual ‘look’ or appearance) is regarded as a more contemporary and modern sandstone finish and provides a look of ‘today’ when used in any residential, commercial or civil application.

When seeing the more rough and rustic appearance of the facing aspect of your sandstone product the Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish is a perfect choice.

The Perfect Finish For Your Home, Garden or Commercial Project

Versatile Elegance: The Dual Charm of Gang Sawn Sandstone in Design

Whether it is a bespoke sandstone home, a building facade or even a landscaped sandstone paved pathway on a concourse, Gang Sawn finishes, like their counterpart Diamond Sawn finish, can be used in both exterior and interior applications.

Even though the saw marks on the sandstone surface are more pronounced than in diamond sawn, from a distance the surface still appears as a more ‘polished’ stylish and graceful material than other rougher sandstone finishes.

In fact, gawn sawn sandstone products look absolutely gorgeous from afar.  They make architecture look ‘finished’ and precise.

Gang Saw Blades Used At Sandstone Quarries And In Dimension Cut Sandstone

This finish services its name from the machining tool used to cut the sandstone surface of any sandstone product.

The gang saw is usually an initial cutting tool to begin the refinement process of newly quarried sandstone products, usually sandstone blocks, when beginning a finer profiling or shaping process on sandstone surfaces.  Other names for the gang saw include Head Rig, Framesaw or Head Saw.  The saw itself is manufactured from hardened steel blades with diamond segmenting allowing the blade to cut through the incredibly hardy Australian sandstone from our Australian Quarries.

In the modern-day, there are two sizes of gang saw blades usually employed in stone cutting.  One is simply called ‘gang saw’ or ‘frame saw’ and the other ‘Big Gangsaw’ is named for its larger size.  Both gang saw sizes execute different finishes, profiling and saw marks upon the surface of every sandstone product they are used on.

Gang saws allow precision cuts to any size and specification along length, height and width with sandstone products.

The Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish
in Indoor Architectural Features and Applications Projects

Australian Sandstone can be a centrepiece and a visual delight in landscaping projects. Whether you are looking to execute a more ancient look with a Roman or Grecian aesthetic or a modern contemporary landscaped exterior space in your garden or commercial or civil grounds, the Diamond Sawn Sandstone Finish is a top of mind and much-loved choice for all landscaping; residential, commercial, civil.

With banded sandstone colour ranges, gang sawn finishes can also create an amazing WOW factor in any internal sandstone feature wall, gang sawn sandstone fireplace, or in the outdoors as a landscaped garden space, a sandstone firepit or entertainment area.

Combine the Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish with profiled sandstone columns and bases for a traditional looking fireplace as a centrepiece of your contemporary home.

The Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish in Landscaping Projects and Outdoor Spaces

Australian Sandstone, being a 100% natural product and endemic to our geological region is the perfect building and landscaping material to enhance the beauty of a gardened space, a manicured garden, an entertainment space, a courtyard; the list is endless and only limited by your imagination.

Sandstone is a particularly good material for sandstone paving and sandstone stairways, and when finished as gang sawn is also a safe material in terms of slippage with a higher slip-resistant rating.

The Sawn Sandstone Finish, whether it be Diamond or Gang Sawn, is a common finish chosen for sandstone capping on sandstone retaining walls.  It also features prominently for sandstone paving and even for the structure and full builds of sandstone letterboxes.

Diamond Sawn Sandstone Pavers and Sandstone Paving for Sandstone Landscaping

Perhaps the most popular choice for landscape architects and landscaping designers as the finish of natural sandstone, The Diamond Sawn Sandstone Finish is, with its smoother surface, a surface highlighting all the myriad hues, tones and spectrum of sandstone colours featured in the very nature of Australian sandstone.

Banded sandstone, known for this particular character of variance and delightful colour tones can be used for high visual impact and stunning design when landscaping with sandstone paving. And, as the sandstone ages, results in one of the most original designs as each and every sandstone paver shifts like magic over the course of its lifetime, long, time-lasting, ageless.

With the versatility of colour, texture and smooth finish, talented landscape architects, stonemasons and landscapers can create the perfect look and design from your imagination and realise it in the exterior of your grounds or home.

The smooth surface of these pavers also reduces the need for constant cleaning as they are easily washed off during natural wet weather events or hosed, of course, when water restrictions are not in full force.

Sandstone Paving with the Gosford Quarries Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish

Outdoor areas where your family and friends are at home, or where larger groups in civil and commercial landscaped settings gather, are the perfect place for Gang Sawn Sandstone Pavers.

Natural Australian sandstone stone pavers can create stunning patterns when laid together, especially coupled with banded sandstone Colour Ranges such as Brown, White & Pink Sandstone.

Specify various shapes to execute eye-catching design not only in banded variations and hues interacting but have the pavers cut at various sizes to create more visual interest when laid.

Sandstone Tiles and The Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish for Indoor Tiling and Outdoor Paving for Landscaping

You could also use the Versailles tiling pattern, originating from France, composed of rectangles and squares of random shapes, commonly cut in three main sizes; small, medium and large.

The multiple sandstone tile sizes enable installers to combine sizes in interesting ways. The effect is a floor that looks like a repeating pattern like a puzzle.

Gang Sawn Finish and Banded Sandstone Colour Range create the most delightful paved and sandstone tiled indoor and outdoor surfaces. They are also a good pattern, working psychologically, to change tighter or longer spaces to look and feel wider, more expansive.

INTERESTING FACT ABOUT COLONINAL-STYLE SANDSTONE WALLING

The Versailles Tiling Pattern parallels colonial-style sandstone walling, also often called ballast walling. This ‘colonial style’ originates in Europe’s walling, Cladding, and tiling Patterns.

Versailles & Ballast patterns feature rectangles and squares in random combinations.

The Gosford Quarries Bush-Hammered Gang Sawn Sandstone Finish

What Is A Bush-Hammered Sandstone Finish?

A bush-hammered finish is applied to natural stone to create an irregular texture and highlight the material’s tonal variation.

When choosing a natural stone, taking into account the finish is essential.

The finish can completely alter the look and suitability of your project. A bush-hammered finish has been achieved through the use of a high impact machine or hand tool to uniformly pit the stone surface. It is also a finish that’s applied to concrete.

By repeatedly impacting the material’s surface a rough, weathered texture is created. This can help enhance the natural tonal variations in the material and add more interest to a space.

Beyond aesthetics, the Bush Hammered Sandstone Finish offers a functional purpose.

When used on an existing concrete surface, it can help new concrete or another flooring material bond better to the surface.

The Gang Sawn finish is perfect for any dimension cut sandstone product made exactly to your specifications and need.

The Gosford Quarries Bush Hammered Finish

For stone, a bush hammered finish creates a texture that is suitable for virtually anywhere indoors or out. It’s a popular finish for flooring in wet environments as the slip resistance rating is greater than other finishes of the same material such as honed.

A bush hammer tool evens inconsistencies of high and low points on the surface of the sandstone, softening the contours from the raw cut and natural breakage at the extraction of the stone and can help to achieve a more uniform surface finish.

The Bush Hammered Finish in Architectural Sandstone Projects

A bush hammering texture can make more visual sense and look more appealing to the eye of many architects, landscapers and lovers of sandstone; homeowners included.

Conversely, the bush hammer tool is also used purposely to create irregular and textural interest in a sandstone finish for architectural, aesthetic effect; rustic and rough sandstone finishes.

Steel brushes often are applied at the end of the process to give the sandstone a further ‘time-worn’ appearance.

The Bush Hammered Finish in Sandstone Heritage Restoration Projects

Reviving History: The Role of Bush Hammer Finish in Heritage Restoration
In the realm of heritage restoration, the bush hammer finish emerges as a key player in recreating the aged aesthetics of historical architecture. This technique is masterfully employed to evoke the appearance of medieval or ancient hand-chiselled craftsmanship, transporting the stone back in time.

Mastering the Art of Antiquity with Bush Hammering
The bush hammer’s unique capability to mimic the intricate work of artisans from bygone eras makes it invaluable in preserving and restoring our architectural heritage. The application of steel brushes further enhances this effect, lending the sandstone a genuinely ‘time-worn’ look that resonates with the echoes of the past.

A Final Touch of Time: Achieving Authenticity
The finishing touch of steel brushes on bush-hammered sandstone not only augments its historic charm but also ensures that each piece embodies the true essence of antiquity. This meticulous process guarantees that restored structures bear the marks of age, wisdom, and beauty inherent in historical edifices.

Bushhammered Cladding

Bushhammered Cladding showcases a bold, textured finish that exudes strength and character. This technique involves striking the sandstone surface with a bush hammer, creating a rugged, uniform texture that enhances the stone’s natural appeal.

Ideal for both exterior and interior applications, bushhammered cladding provides excellent slip resistance, making it a practical and aesthetic choice for facades, pathways, and feature walls.

The robust, tactile surface of Bushhammered Cladding brings a sense of solidity and durability, perfectly blending modern architectural needs with the timeless beauty of sandstone.

The History of the Stonemason Bush-Hammer Tool

The sandstone ‘bushhammer’ or ‘bushing hammer’ finish, as it is colloquially known, has the origin in its name from the ‘bush hammer’ stone masonry tool used to execute this finish on the surface of a sandstone product. 

The bush hammer tool was invented by a man named Joseph Richards from the USA, Massachusetts, in 1831.  Since then, the bush hammer has had many incarnations and versions as a stone-working tool for stonemasons.

In its inception, Josephs’ tool was firstly known to some as the ‘axe hammer” or ‘patent hammer’.  Other names for the tool historically included patent bush hammer, Scotia hammer and patent Scotia hammer.

There are more than 55 known US patents for ‘hand hammers’ which are mostly described as bush hammers or patent hammers in variety and broader definitions.

Other Names for the Stonemason Bush Hammer Tool

In stonemasonry, the bush hammer is sometimes referred to as a ‘Facing Hammer’.  The larger version of the tool, which can carry a hefty weight, is often referred to as a ‘Mason’s Bush Hammer’, ‘Granite Workers Bush Hammer’ or ‘Quarryman’s Bush Hammer’.

How a Bush-Hammered Stone Finish is Achieved

A Bush Hammered Sandstone Finish can make the sandstone appear naturally weathered and allows architects to execute certain visual effects and looks in their sandstone architectural projects.

Durability of Bush Hammer Tools
Bush hammers often have teeth made from stainless steel, chosen for its density and toughness. This material ensures the tool’s durability against hard surfaces like natural sandstone, where lesser tools might wear down too quickly. The term ‘solid tooth bush hammer’ refers to these durable teeth, highlighting the tool’s robustness and efficiency in stonemasonry.

Achieving the Desired Finish with Precision
The bush hammer visually creates a pitted or pockmarked surface on the sandstone, with the extent of texturisation depending on the frequency and force of application. Thanks to the evenly spaced teeth on the bush hammer, stonemasons can achieve a uniformly pitted texture, allowing for a controlled, rustic finish that enhances the stone’s natural beauty.
