Why Sandstone Tiles are a Great Choice for Home and Garden Design?

The perks of Sandstone tiles are just too many to count. They aren’t so well loved for nothing.

Here are some of our favorite aspects of Sandstones that we believe make them a total head turner.

 

They are environmentally friendly

Sandstone look tiles are natural stones that require only a fraction of the carbon dioxide per ton compared to other materials. The fact that these tiles are abundant in nature and can be recycled is cherry on top.

 

The durability of these tiles is beyond impressive

If you ask us if sandstone tiles are more beautiful or durable, we won’t be able to answer. These tough charmers can withstand heavy footfall and harsh climatic conditions. They are also moisture and stain resistant. Whether they are used indoors or outdoors, your natural sandstone tiles will last for decades with ease.

 

They are one of the coziest yet elegant tiles you will ever see

Sandstone’s unique, classy, natural aesthetics can make any space stand out. These tiles can create an earthy look that reminds you of either mountains or beaches. The warm, rustic charm of these tiles is unrivalled and that’s why they have remained timeless pieces, loved by generations of homeowners.

 

The tiles are surprisingly low maintenance

Considering that Sandstone tiles look so classy and sophisticated, anyone would assume that maintaining the tiles would be a lot of work. Surprisingly and thankfully, that’s not the case. A good quality mop and soft broom are all you need to clean these tiles. And even when you have tough stains, a high pressure hose will do the trick. Just remember not to use abrasive cleaners or acidic substances on these tiles.

 

Can make a smaller space look bigger

This is a very interesting perk of sandstone tiles.

If you want to make any part of your house look more spacious, go for large sandstone tiles. This type of illusion is created probably because larger tiles have fewer grout lines and can make a room look less busy as compared to smaller tiles. You can also consider using a similar colour grout to the tiles for an even enhanced look.

 

You can easily replace these tiles

In case there is any damage or breakage in your existing tiles, Sandstones can be easily replaced. Since they come in individual tiles format and not as a solid block, replacing damaged tiles is super convenient and can be done without affecting the entire flooring.

 

It can raise the value of your home

The unique aesthetics of these tiles combined with the durability and longevity have made it a real show stealer in the real estate market. Whether it be a new buyer or a real estate agent, everyone is bound to fall in love with the sophistication this tile brings and the way it enhances the beauty of your home. Of course, the fact that these tiles are as practical as they are gorgeous helps seal the deal.
