Choosing Indian sandstone paving

Indian sandstone is the most popular natural paving in the UK because it is hard-wearing, slip resistant and comes in a wide range of colours. Every slab has its own markings, so no two patios look the same. Raj Green brings warm autumn tones, Kandla Grey suits modern and traditional homes alike, Mint Fossil lightens shaded gardens and Rippon Buff gives a warm, classic look.

Our riven sandstone has a naturally split surface and hand-cut edges for a traditional finish. Most colours come in mixed size patio packs, which give a random laying pattern with fewer cuts, and many are also available in single sizes for modern layouts. Calibrated slabs have an even thickness, which makes them quicker and easier to lay on a full mortar bed.

Frequently asked questions

Should I seal Indian sandstone paving?

Sealing is optional. A good quality impregnating sealer helps resist staining from oil, food and moss, and makes the patio easier to clean. Leave new paving to dry out fully before sealing.

What is the difference between calibrated and uncalibrated sandstone?

Calibrated slabs are machined to a consistent thickness, so they are quicker to lay. Uncalibrated slabs vary in thickness and are usually laid on a deeper, adjustable mortar bed.

How much paving is in a patio pack?

Pack coverage varies by range and is shown on each product at LSD and Hardcores. A mixed size pack contains several slab sizes designed to lay together in a random pattern.
