Limestone & Sandstone

Since sandstone beds often form highly visible cliffs and other topographic features, certain colours of sandstone have been strongly identified with certain regions. This makes Limestone and Sandstone a perfect choice for your installation. Rock formations that are primarily composed of sandstone usually allow percolation of water and other fluids and are porous enough to store large quantities, making them valuable aquifers and petroleum reservoirs. The porous nature of sandstone and limestone make certain applications unsuitable where moisture and water occur.

The porous nature of sandstone and limestone make certain applications unsuitable where moisture and water occur. Fine-grained aquifers, such as sandstones, are more apt to filter out pollutants from the surface than are rocks with cracks and crevices, such as limestone or other rocks fractured by seismic activity. Sandstone is mined by quarrying. It is sometimes found where there used to be small seas. We can offer a cutting and profiling service for all Limestone and Sandstone.

It is usually formed in deserts or dry places like the Sahara Desert in Africa, the Arabian Desert in the Middle East and the Australian desert (including Sydney). In the western United States and in central Australia, most sandstone is red.
