REINHARDTSDORFER SANDSTEIN -gwg- is a fine-grained yellow-gray, pebbley bound Elbsandstone. The colour alterations may correspond to the stratifications or be cloudy-nodular and, therefore, irregular. Significantly, this material has an unmistakeable charisma due to the presence of numerous fossil relics.
The finished architectural elements from this material are used mainly in exterior areas. They are also attractively used in interiors.
