Can I Use Sandstone Pavers as Extra Large Wall Copings?
Yes, sandstone pavers can be used as coping stones—even in extra-large formats. They offer a natural, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution. However, keep in mind that traditional coping stones are usually thicker and denser than standard paving slabs, providing greater resistance to weather and wear. When used as Extra Large Wall Copings, sandstone pavers should be carefully selected for durability and thickness to ensure long-lasting performance.
Indian Sandstone vs Limestone: What’s the Difference?
Both Indian Sandstone and Limestone are popular choices for wall copings and landscaping, but they differ in several key ways:
1. Composition & Origin
- Indian Sandstone: A sedimentary rock formed from compacted sand grains, mainly quartz and feldspar, and typically sourced from Indian quarries.
- Limestone: Also sedimentary, but primarily composed of calcium carbonate derived from marine organisms like shells and coral.
2. Appearance
- Indian Sandstone: Offers a broad colour palette—beige, buff, grey, green, red - with riven, sawn, or polished finishes. Each piece has unique patterns and veining.
- Limestone: Available in softer tones like cream, blue, grey, and brown, often with fossil markings. Finishes include honed, polished, or naturally split.
3. Porosity
- Sandstone: Generally more porous, making sealing recommended to prevent staining.
- Limestone: Also porous, though some types are less absorbent than sandstone.
4. Durability
- Both are durable for external use, including wall copings. However, limestone may require more maintenance depending on its finish and exposure to the elements.
5. Applications
- Indian Sandstone: Ideal for patios, garden paths, and decorative wall copings.
- Limestone: Well-suited for both contemporary and classic landscapes, often preferred for its smoother texture and consistent tones.
