Sandstone Cladding was developed to make publicly available a product that we as stonemasons have been creating and using for years. With over 30 years experience you can be assured that you are not only receiving a quality product, but a timeless master piece that will stand the test of time, and because it is real Australian sandstone it will still have as much character and charm in 100 years as it does the day it is installed.

We are a family business situated on the Central Coast NSW. We install and repair Sandstone with quality workmanship. We understand the art and have developed the technique that stands out from the rest.

Relation to Mining

Loosely consolidated material can be mined using a high-pressure hydraulic monitor. Sand washed from the working face is collected in a sump, from which it is usually pumped to a de-watering/surge pile, where the material is allowed to free drain. Once drained, the sand reports to a plant.

Well-consolidated deposits can be mined using conventional drill-and-blast methods. Once blasted, the sandstone is “mucked” using a front-end loader, placed into haul trucks, and transported to a primary crusher. Following crushing, the material may report to a secondary or tertiary crushing plant. The sized material is then transported to a processing plant, usually by a conveyance system.

Uses

Sandstone has two major applications, as crushed stone and as dimension stone. Dimension stone is any rock material that is cut into specific sizes, typically as blocks and slabs. Crushed stone is used in the construction of roadways and road structures such as bridges, and in buildings, both commercial and residential.
