Sand Stone
As the name suggests, Sandstones are composed of minute grains of Sand. It’s a Sedimentary Rock made up of Quartz, Feldspar & Rock fragments. It is formed through geological processes involving the deposition, compaction and cementation of sandy sediments over millions of years,
As they are relatively soft stones, which can be cut and molded easily, they were popular during the ancient times. They are available in a wide range of colours. Since ancient times, sandstones are used in the construction of iconic buildings like the Roman amphitheater in Arezzo. Many colonial buildings in the United States such as the White House and Capitol Hill were also constructed using Sandstones.
Sandstones are commonly used as exterior cladding on residential, commercial and institutional buildings due to the weatherability and aesthetic appearance.

QUARTZ
Quartz Slabs are engineered stone produced from powdered natural Quartz bound together with Resins. The process consists of blending pulverized natural stone aggregate with a mix of Polymers and then heated to shape the material into slabs that have the strength and feel of natural stones.
Quartz is a great choice for its durability, ease of cleaning and color selection. Quartz are generally used for Countertops because they are non-porous and stain resistant.
They are available in many colors from bright whites to cool greys. Some Quartz have veins to give a marble look and some contain mirror chips that make them sparkle.
