  3. Sandstone Paving Vs Limestone Paving In this quick yet comprehensive write-up, we have compared both the paving stones based on several factors like strength, cost, appearance, applications, etc. By the end of the article, you will be able to decide which one is the best for your property.Strength: Limestone and sandstone both are great options in terms of strength and can be used for almost every purpose, especially walkways and driveways. While there are different variations of both the stones available, thickness and way of laying also matter.

  4. The hardness, density, and durability of sandstone paving are better than that of limestone paving. However, remember that you will also find some low porous varieties of sandstone, which are not that strong. High-permeable sandstone is the best in terms of strength when used for driveways and pathways.

  5. WeatherResistance At places where the weather is generally bad or rainier, the resistance of the outdoor slabs matters a lot. For instance, more water can cause algae which can damage the outdoor paving slabs. On that front, both limestone and sandstone are great against resisting water and other weather conditions. Both have low water absorbance properties and porous nature, which prevent the slabs from getting damaged easily.

  6. Cost Another reason people choose sandstone and limestone for outdoor flooring is that both stones are available at a reasonable price with solid features and properties. The cost of limestone is less compared to sandstone. The actual pricing varies according to the quality of the stone, colour variety, patterns, thickness, styles, shapes, and sizes. However, you should also consider the maintenance cost in the long run. In contrast, Indian sandstone paving needs lesser maintenance than limestone.

  7. Appearance People who buy sandstone or limestone paving usually go with the aesthetic values of the stones. It is because of the overall look and feel of the outdoors matter. They want to choose from a variety of colours to match with the existing interior aesthetics, walls, etc. Moreover, colour schemes and textures are some of the factors considered while buying limestone/sandstone paving stones.
