Indian sandstone is renowned for its unique and diverse color variations. When used for patios, this quality ensures that each stone is distinct, contributing to a visually appealing and organic look. The range of colors available, including earthy tones like beige, brown, and reddish hues, allows homeowners to select a palette that complements their outdoor surroundings.
Moreover, the natural clefts, grains, and textures present in Indian sandstone add character to the patio surface, creating an inviting and rustic ambiance. No two stones are exactly alike, which adds to the patio's charm and individuality.
As a result, Indian sandstone patios not only provide a functional outdoor space but also serve as a canvas for unique design possibilities that highlight the beauty of nature's variations. Whether it's a traditional, contemporary, or eclectic style, Indian sandstone patios bring a touch of natural elegance to any outdoor setting.
We were recently presented with a chance to restore a sandstone patio, aiming to return it to its initial, pristine state. The project involved a comprehensive process to revitalise the patio's appearance and functionality, bringing out its original charm and beauty.
Regrouting Indian sandstone involved the process of removing old or deteriorated grout from the joints between the sandstone tiles and replacing it with new grout. Using a traditional cement, lime, and sand mixture is a time-tested approach that we used in this case which can bring durability and a classic aesthetic to your outdoor space. This method combines cement, lime, and sand in specific proportions to create a grout mixture that is strong, flexible, and compatible with natural stone surfaces. However, it's important to have a good understanding of the mixing ratios and application techniques to achieve the best results. If you're not experienced with this method, consulting with professionals who are skilled in working with natural stone surfaces can ensure a successful and lasting outcome.
After regrouting the Indian sandstone patio using the traditional cement, lime, and sand mixture, you proceeded to further enhance the restoration process by deep cleaning the sandstone surface using professional tile and stone cleaning products. Deep cleaning is a crucial step to bring out the patio's natural beaut, reveal the natural colours and textures of the sandstone and remove any residual grout haze or dirt. It's an essential step to achieve a polished and rejuvenated look.
Sealing Indian sandstone involves applying a breathable impregnating sealer to the surface of the stone and grout. The sealant creates a barrier that helps prevent liquids, stains, and dirt from penetrating the stone and grout, making it easier to clean and maintain.
Restoring a sandstone patio requires attention to detail and patience, but the result can be a stunning outdoor space that's reminiscent of its original splendor. If you're unfamiliar with the restoration process or dealing with particularly challenging issues, consulting with us can ensure a successful outcome.
