When it comes to flooring, a selection of different materials and paving stones are available. Since paving is usually an outdoor feature, homeowners try to ensure they use the best materials the first time around. Not only does it save them time and trouble in the future but using sustainable building resources can also be beneficial to the environment.
Indian sandstone is known for all these qualities. It isn’t just visually and aesthetically pleasing but rather adds value to the property in the long-run. Though sandstone is quite exquisite on its own, stonemasonries have recently found innovative ways to add intricate designs to slabs in order to add an extra edge for those who prefer it.
If these qualities weren’t already enough to convince you, it’s one of the most eco-friendly materials to use.
Here’s why Indian sandstone is the paving material for the future:
As Indian sandstone is naturally produced over a span of millions of years, it doesn’t require a lot of energy to create. Unlike manmade building resources such as bricks and concrete, it has a very low carbon footprint.
No chemicals are used in the creation of Indian sandstone – neither in the production or processing stage. Consequently, resulting in no chemical waste.
When opting for natural stones, homeowners assume that prices would be through the roof. However, that’s not entirely true. Not only is Indian sandstone stylish and sleek, its durable and reasonable. The most distinguishable feature is that it ages like fine wine, the older it gets, the better it looks! So, for a low-priced material that requires little to no maintenance, it’s a suitable, sustainable choice.
Of course, due to its natural characteristics, natural stone lasts forever. In fact, some great examples of durability would be the Taj Mahal and Pyramids of Egypt. If they’ve lasted for centuries, we’re sure your pavements will too.
Indian sandstone is relatively low maintenance. Once it has been installed, it barely requires any attention. If you feel your pavement needs deep cleaning, all you need to do is power wash it. Otherwise, a simple mop will get the job done too.
Unlike certain building materials, Indian sandstone is quite consistent when it comes to weathering seasonal changes. Since they don’t contract or expand during extreme conditions and temperatures, they are fairly easy to look after.
When natural stones are recycled, the materialize as stones again. This in turn means that they can be reused in construction later on. However, if this were any other material such as plastic, the same wouldn’t be possible.
