Description
Storm Grey (also known as Kandla Grey) Indian Sandstone is the most consistent of our sandstone paving with a mid grey colouring and only very subtle variation from slab to slab. It tends to be less riven than other coloured sandstone due to its density, which makes it a perfect choice for heavy traffic areas.
Hard wearing, lightly riven and naturally beautiful, our Indian Sandstone Paving circle kit is an ideal feature in any patio or terrace or as a standalone feature in any garden.
Available in 2.4 & 3.6m Diameter kits without corners and calibrated to a thickness of 22mm.

Please note the shade of the final product could differ slightly compared to the sample you may receive due to slight batch variation. You must ensure that you are happy with the colour variation of the product you have received before you start laying, as after installation exchange will no longer be possible.
Ensure that you have all the required material to completely the whole project onsite before commencing any work. Open all your crates at the same time, taking material evenly from each of them. This will ensure you have a good distribution of colours across the whole paved area. DO NOT open one crate at a time using all the material before opening the next, this can result in uneven distribution of colours and can look unsightly.
We recommend that all customers read our product selection, maintenance & installation guides before purchasing.
Do not use acidic cleaners on natural stone as they can cause permanent, irreparable, damage to the colour and structure of the stone.
How To Clean Indian Sandstone Paving?
Cleaning Indian sandstone is simple. Use soapy water and a stiff brush or hose. For tougher stains as well as moss and algae, we recommend using New Clean 60 available from our website. Apply as directed with a sprayer and leave on for around 60 minutes then wash off with a stiff brush or power washer to ensure you have removed all dirt and debris as well as any cleaner residue.

How To Install Indian Sandstone Paving?
Very basically all Indian Sandstone paving should be laid on a full wet bed of mortar over a compacted hardcore or concrete base, deep enough for the site conditions. We have a great deal more information available on our natural stone paving installation guide that can be found at the link below:
Does Indian Sandstone Fade?
All natural stones will fade over time when exposed to the UK climate and Indian sandstone is no exception. Sandstone will slowly fade over the years losing some of the vibrance of the original colour but if regularly maintained will keep its original colour for many years without any visible change to the surface of the stone.
We recommend undertaking regular maintenance to keep your patio looking at its best, but at the same time let nature take its course and enjoy the process of weathering that all natural stone goes through.
How Long Should I Wait Before Sealing Indian Sandstone?
We would recommend that you seal Indian sandstone paving directly after installation. Ensure that you use a water based impregnating sealer that will still allow the stone to breath and for the natural process of efflorescence to take place. Sealing should take place only when the stone is completely dry and there is at least 24 hours of dry weather ahead. This will allow the sealant to cure properly after application. Sandstone is a naturally porous material, and it must be maintained, or you can cause damage to the surface of the stone.
Is Indian Sandstone Good For Patios?
Indian sandstone is an excellent paving material and makes the perfect patio. It has excellent frost resistance. It is hard wearing and affordable, making it one of the best natural paving materials available.
Indian sandstone works perfectly in a wide range of landscaping applications from a contemporary minimalist garden to a traditional cottage garden. It offers a wide range of colour and finishes. There is something for all style preferences.
Is Indian Sandstone Permeable?
Indian Sandstone paving like most types of natural stone paving has a degree of porosity which essentially means it’s permeable. Indian sandstone paving is an excellent material for all landscaping applications from patios to driveways, however its porosity means it does need to be sealed after installation. Always use a good quality impregnating sealant that is specifically formulated for natural stone. Without sealing Indian sandstone can start to look worse for wear after a few years and will require increased maintenance to keep it looking at its best.
Are Sandstone Slabs Slippery?
In general sandstone paving is not slippery if it is well maintained. There are a great deal of finishes available in this material, each with different natural slip resistances. The natural riven surface of hand split sandstone paving has the best slip resistance. This slip resistance reduces as the surface of the sandstone becomes smoother, such as honed or polished.
Different types of Indian sandstone and their slip resistance:
Riven – excellent slip resistance
Honed – average slip resistance
Polished – low slip resistance (Only possible on very hard, less porous stones).
Do I Need To Seal My Patio?
Yes, we recommend you seal all sandstone and natural stone paving upon (or shortly after) installation, to ensure it stays looking at it’s best for longest. Sealing will help make it resilient to staining and increases it’s longevity. We recommend Universeal Hydroseal or for an enhanced look Universeal Ultimate Stone Enhancer
