Coogee Sandstone Tiles, Pavers & Cladding - Attractive Colour

Coogee sandstone tiles and pavers are yellow beach sand and white in colour with a characteristic grain pattern. The product has a light sandblasted finish that adds texture and softens the appearance.

Coogee Sandstone with Sandblasted Surface Treatment

The mild sandblast is very effective as it softens the grain and colour of the stone. It has a similar surface to the finely chipped or "sparrow pecked" surfaces on many of the lovely old heritage buildings. The treatment is time consuming because the stone requires honing first but its effective because it creates beach sand "character" to a floor or wall surface.

Cladding Confusion - Please Read to Discover More Affordable Options

Cladding or facing as it is sometimes called, is a simple way of decorating walls. We have images of specialised cladding products at the Cladding section of the website. These are the more decorative options which cost a little more because they are more difficult to make.

The simplest and cheapest form of cladding for walls are plain tiles 15-20mm in thickness, with no intricate borders or patterns. If this idea appeals to you, then check out any of our slate, sandstone, quartzite, limestone & bluestone tiles. If we don't have a size that suits, we will order it in specially. Ring us if you would like to discuss your project - the options are limitless!
