THE MATERIAL’S CHARACTER
Warm tones, entirely natural light.
Gialla Mint sandstone brings warmth to a composition. Rectangular slabs give terraces and garden paths a clear rhythm. Variations in the natural quarry surface and split edges give the surface a textured appearance, which should also be considered in relation to everyday use.
The detail of the quarry surface.
The natural face is not perfectly flat. The calibration stated in the product details helps with laying but does not remove surface differences: discuss the sample, joints and transitions with your installer.
BEYOND APPEARANCE
A good floor
starts with good design.
Hardness and surface
Varies with the composition and natural binder: the term sandstone does not allow a single hardness rating to be assigned.
Resistance and use
Performance varies between selections. Compare abrasion data for the variety purchased, without treating all sandstones as the same.
Points to assess before laying
Calibration is indicative: the quarry surface is not completely flat and installation must accommodate its variations.

Before you choose.
Can it be used outdoors?
The Pietrarredo product details state frost resistance; absorption and freeze/thaw tests are parameters to check for your project. The paving’s performance also depends on drainage, the sub-base and installation.
Is it suitable for a driveway entrance?
Suitability for vehicle access requires an assessment of the specific product. Tell the supplier and installer about loads, format, thickness, the existing base and traffic frequency.
How much does this flooring cost?
The price depends on format, processing and quantity. Check the current price at Pietrarredo and allow separately for laying, waste and transport.
