What are sandstones and where are they commonly used?

Sandstones are sedimentary rocks that consist of a very high proportion of sand grains. These grains of sand are very small and up to 2 millimeters in size. Very often they are made of quartz, but they can also be made of other materials.

Sandstones are used in many areas. For example, it is also in great demand as a building block because of its weather resistance. He is also very popular with sculptors. Often, however, it is also used as a paving stone or as an addition to gravel. For homeowners, however, it is often widely used both indoors and outdoors.

Sandstone sealing makes this building material more robust so that it is protected from weathering and other natural influences.

Why a sandstone seal?

A sandstone seal penetrates deep into the stone and is intensively protected against weathering and rough wear. Further penetration of moisture is prevented. A seal ensures a very long shelf life. The easy processing also makes it possible for handcrafted people to do a sandstone seal themselves. Sealing also does not change the appearance of sandstones, allows the stone to continue breathing and protects it from abrasion that can otherwise occur due to weather conditions and other mechanical loads. Sealed sandstones are also easier to maintain, as the surfaces are very easy to clean and protected from moss and other discoloration.

Hardly any other building material can offer the advantages mentioned above when it comes to the relationship between costs, effort and benefits.
