What is Mint Sandstone?
Mint sandstone is one of the lightest tones in our sandstone range, prized for how it brightens up a space rather than for any green colouring. Its pale, ivory-cream Mint sandstone colours work especially well against darker brickwork or greenery, and make a smaller patio or courtyard feel more open.
Beyond
Mint Sandstone slabs for paving, it's also supplied as
Mint sandstone cladding and
Mint Sandstone walling for feature walls, as a
Mint sandstone circle for a garden focal point, and in tumbled mint blocks for a softer, weathered look. Its light tone also makes it a popular choice for interior floors, not just outdoor paving.
