Other notable features of Sawn Raj Green Indian Sandstone include minimal maintenance requirements, heightened visual appeal when wet, a stunning array of colours, and slip-resistant properties even in wet conditions.

How to Obtain Smooth Sandstone Paving

• Initial Cutting: Place the sandstone block on the bed of the saw machine and cut it into roughly uniform-thickness slabs.
• Rough Grinding: Roughly grind the top surface of each slab to achieve a smoother surface. The bottom surface remains the normal sawn surface.
• Slab Selection: Remove the particularly thin slabs and use a calibrated machine to efficiently cut the particularly thick slabs uniform in thickness with a groove bottom.
• Precision Cutting: Use the infrared saw machine to cut the processed nominal uniform thickness slabs into the desired specifications.
• Packaging and Inspection: During packaging, approx. 5-10% of the bottom surfaces of the slabs may still be grooved, approx. 90-95% of the bottom surface is sawn.

⚠️ Paving Expert Advice: Sandstone is naturally porous, and water staining effects are more pronounced when in a honed smooth finished state. To mitigate this, we advise sealing the undersides of all sawn sandstone paving with SBR adhesive prior to installation, ensuring uniform application and complete drying to establish a chemical barrier between the cement mixture and the sandstone. Furthermore, apply Lithofin Stain Stop W sealer to the top and sides to prevent any staining.

Due to the relatively low density of sandstone, the sawn edges of sawn and honed smooth sandstone tend to be sharp, unlike hand-chiseled edges. Chipping can occur frequently, which no stone company can completely avoid. If customers are particularly concerned about chipping, we recommend avoiding the purchase of smooth sandstone with sawn edges. Alternatively, with the owner's consent, they can visit a local store and pay an additional fee to handpick the stones. In such cases, the cost is typically around twice the regular price.

Customers must clearly understand that the natural stone purchased is intended for paving and will inevitably be stepped on over time. It is not a countertop, decorative item, or piece of furniture, so there is no need to be overly concerned about minor chips, as such small imperfections are a natural part of long-term use.

Eliminating these minor flaws in mass-produced, paving-grade natural stone would lead to significantly higher production costs. As an online store committed to offering competitive prices, we are unable to meet excessively high aesthetic or quality demands beyond standard paving expectations.

Polished stone may occasionally display minor surface imperfections, which can be noticeable upon close inspection. However, these are considered acceptable and do not affect the overall appearance once the paving is installed. We kindly ask customers to fully understand and accept these natural characteristics before purchasing. If you are not comfortable with slight surface imperfections, please consider your purchase carefully. We do not accept any claims related to such natural imperfections.
