Chandra Sandstone Tiles, Pavers & Cladding from Bellstone, Sydney Wholesalers
Sandstone Tiles - Safe When Wet
Sandstone tiles and pavers have excellent slip resistance which makes them a safe surface for kids that travel at speed! Slip resistance tests results on Bellstone products reveal that they have excellent grip characteristics and provide extremely safe surfaces to walk on in outdoor arenas, especially when wet.
Chandra Sandstone Durability
As you will see from the stone quality ratings at the foot of the page, Chandra is one of the toughest and most durable sandstone products in the world. Its density and flexural strength is extraordinary. It also has extremely high resistance to salt attack making it suitable for use in coastal environments that have salt air.
Himalayan Stone - Chandra Sandstone?
Himalayan sandstone or Himalayan stone is mostly sourced from Rajasthan in India - and yes Chandra comes from this part of India. In Australia, Indian sandstone is frequently and inaccurately marketed as “Himalayan stone” – no sandstone is quarried from this region of India so we don't use the term as it confuses people.
