Sandstone Pavers & Tiles

The main difference between Sandstone Tiles and Pavers is thickness and if you're choosing Sandstone, you should know what sets tiles apart from pavers. It's straightforward - it all comes down to how thick they are. Tiles typically come in 15mm thickness, while pavers are a solid 30mm thick.

If you're thinking about where to use them, tiles work great outdoors when laid on a concrete base ideal for low traffic areas. Pavers, on the other hand, are perfect for outdoor projects that have medium traffic load like patios, around swimming pools, verandahs, garden paths, and walkways.

Both options last a long time, but they perform differently depending on where you put them. Because pavers are thicker, they tend to last longer and can take more weight. This makes them a smart choice for areas that are exposed to weather extremes.

Stone Centre brings you a beautiful range of Sandstone tiles and pavers across Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. We source only the finest quality stone and offer an impressive variety of colours and tones to match any style you're going into.

Light shades like beige, off-white, and soft grey remain popular picks for today's Australian homes, creating bright and airy spaces that work perfectly with natural lighting and plants. Darker options - think chocolate brown, charcoal, and mixed tones - suit contemporary designs and add a sleek, sophisticated touch. Warm natural colours like tan and cream bring that timeless Mediterranean feel, making them versatile enough for any space, inside or out.

What really sets Stone Centre apart is our competitive pricing that's hard to beat anywhere else in the market.

Sandstone pavers have become increasingly popular for outdoor use, especially around pools, garden paths, and driveways, thanks to how naturally slip-resistant they are. Unlike man-made alternatives, real Sandstone stays cooler underfoot, which is a blessing during Australia's hot summer months. These stones stand up remarkably well to constant sun exposure, heavy rain, and the harsh coastal conditions you find around Australia, giving homeowners excellent long-term value with minimal upkeep required.

Stone Centre’s Sandstone Pavers & Tiles for outdoors comes with elegant Honed and rustic Natural Split surface finish, combining beauty with practical functionality. These creamy beige options and other varieties have built our reputation as a reliable Sandstone supplier.

Sandstone Floor Tiles are more versatile than you might expect. They blend seamlessly with different design styles and practical requirements across outdoor areas.

In patio settings, Sandstone creates inviting warmth that works with both classic and contemporary outdoor furniture. The subtle tones match any colour scheme, while the natural patterns keep large areas interesting. Australian homeowners especially appreciate how Sandstone feels cooler than concrete during those sweltering summer days.

Around pool areas, Sandstone really shows its versatility. Pool tiles work beautifully for both decking and coping, creating a cohesive, resort-like atmosphere. The honed and antique surfaces provide enough grip for safety while maintaining that polished look everyone wants.

Taking care of your Sandstone properly means it'll keep its natural beauty and strength for many years to come. These simple care steps will protect your investment while maintaining the stone's natural character.

• Regular Cleaning - Consistent cleaning is the key to maintaining your Sandstone. Sweep or vacuum daily to get rid of dirt, sand, and debris that could scratch the surface over time. For indoor areas, a microfiber mop with warm water works perfectly without needing harsh chemicals. For outdoor pavers, a weekly rinse with the hose removes dust, leaves, and debris. This basic step prevents staining and keeps the stone looking natural throughout every season.
• Deeper Cleaning - Once a month, give your Sandstone Pavers and Tiles a thorough clean. Mix a pH-neutral stone cleaner with warm water following the label directions. Stay away from acidic cleaners like vinegar or anything lemon-based - these can permanently damage the stone surface. Use a soft brush or mop to apply the cleaning solution in small sections. Rinse well with fresh water and either dry it with a soft cloth or let outdoor areas dry air naturally.
• Protecting Against Stains - Seal your Sandstone every 12 to 18 months to create a protective layer against spills and weather. Pick a breathable stone sealer that lets moisture escape while keeping liquids out. If something spills, blot it up right away instead of wiping, which just spreads it around. For oily stains, make a paste from baking soda and water, leave it on overnight, then gently remove it.
• Seasonal Care - Australia's weather means you need to pay attention to seasonal changes. During rainy periods, make sure water drains properly around outdoor Sandstone to avoid pooling and potential damage.
• Professional Help - Getting a professional inspection once a year helps catch small issues before they become big problems. Stone restoration experts can do deep cleaning, resealing, and minor fixes that significantly extend how long your Sandstone Pavers lasts.
