For more than two centuries, sandstone has been the building block of Australian architecture. Amongst many other construction materials, it is the most adored material as it helps create beautiful facades in creamy rose, heritages and golden hues, outlasting other building materials.
Sandstone will remain to hold great allure for its appeal and quality. This admired material is also known for its load-bearing ability and slip-resistant nature.
Additionally, sandstone is a good insulator to keep homes cool in summer and warm in winter, which is why in Australia, sandstone works as the foundation of many heritage villas and cottages as well as contemporary houses.
