Capala Sandstone Tiles & Sandstone Pavers for Floors & Walls

Stone Tiles & Pavers - Popularity Increasing

Stone tiles and stone pavers are popular for their natural look and feel; there is a healthy rebellion against highly processed manmade product that looks like it just fell off a conveyor belt!

Sandstone is popular because it is familiar. Sydney and most of the NSW coast sits on sandstone rock - it is why our beaches have that beautiful white, straw and golden sand.

Capala Sandstone - Superior Density & Durability

Capala sandstone is premium quality and available in a range of different colours that are popular for both indoor and outdoor design needs. All our sandstone is tested for density, water absorption, slip resistance and resistance to salt attack. This is done so that architects, designers and builders can match product to its intended purpose.
