The use of sandstone in building construction goes back to the birth of building construction when man first started constructing permanent dwellings and can be witnessed all over the world.
Most early buildings were constructed out of stone in countries such as England, Scotland, the pyramids in Egypt, and also in most of Europe and these are the only buildings which have survived through the ages for us to enjoy through our global travels.
Because of the vast quantities of sandstone available in South Africa it is still relatively inexpensive to use in building and cladding offering you maintenance free interior and exterior walls.
It enhances and adds atmosphere to areas such as your braai, swimming pool, fire places etc. not to mention the exclusivity it adds to the entrance of your home, driveway, retaining walls and also boundary walls.
A large variety of styles can be achieved as seen in our photo gallery which one can implement to prevent a repetition usually found on large buildings. |
