Value Wall Copings

Indian Sandstone and Limestone are two popular and affordable materials for wall copings, each with unique qualities. Here's a breakdown to help you choose the best fit for your project:

1. Composition & Source

- Indian Sandstone: Formed from compacted sand grains like quartz and feldspar; quarried in India and widely used in landscaping.

- Limestone: Made from calcium carbonate, typically formed from marine fossils like shells and coral.

2. Appearance

- Indian Sandstone: Offers a wide range of natural colours—buff, grey, green, red—with riven or sawn finishes. Each slab has its own texture and pattern.

- Limestone: Available in subtle shades like cream, blue, and grey. It often includes fossil markings and has a more uniform appearance with smoother finishes.

3. Porosity

- Sandstone: More porous, so sealing is recommended to help prevent staining.

- Limestone: Also porous, though some types are less absorbent and may require less maintenance.

4. Durability

- Both materials are durable and suited for outdoor use, including wall copings. However, limestone may need occasional upkeep to maintain its appearance depending on finish and exposure.

5. Common Uses

- Indian Sandstone: A great choice for paving, garden borders, and wall copings—especially in projects where budget and style matter.

- Limestone: Favoured for cleaner, more uniform looks in both classic and modern designs.
