Wooden Grey Sandstone is a quartzitic sedimentary sandstone quarried in China, known for its medium-grain silver-gray color with distinctive darker wooden-textured veins that create a natural and elegant pattern. The subtle movement of the veins gives it a wood-like appearance, making it a popular choice for both interior and exterior applications. 

Texture & Pattern:

• Texture: Medium-grained with a naturally textured surface.
• Pattern: Silver-gray base with darker wooden vein patterns that run in parallel, offering a dynamic and organic aesthetic resembling wooden planks. 

Test Results & Physical Properties:

• Water Absorption: 0.50% - 0.80% by weight
• Density: 2500 - 2650 kg/m³
• Compressive Strength: 95.6 - 108.4 MPa
• Flexural Strength: 10.4 - 13.1 MPa
• Hardness (Mohs): 6.0 – 7.0 (due to high quartz content)
• Porosity: Low to medium, enhancing its durability and resistance to weathering.

Slip Resistance:

• Polished Finish: Moderate slip resistance, ideal for dry indoor spaces.
• Honed/Brushed Finish: Higher slip resistance, suitable for wet or outdoor areas.
• Sandblasted/Tumbled Finish: Maximum slip resistance, best for exterior paving and landscaping. 

Chemical & Mineral Composition (% by weight):

• Silica (SiO?): 85% - 92%
• Alumina (Al?O?): 2% - 4%
• Iron Oxide (Fe?O?): 1% - 2%
• Calcium Oxide (CaO): 0.5% - 1.2%
• Magnesium Oxide (MgO): 0.3% - 0.7%
• Potassium Oxide (K?O): 0.2% - 0.5%

Applications & Usage:

Interior Applications:

• Flooring and wall cladding.
• Kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities.
• Decorative accents, staircases, and fireplace surrounds.

Exterior Applications:

• Facades and exterior cladding.
• Pool surrounds, patios, and walkways.

Maintenance & Care:

• Cleaning: Use mild pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid acidic or abrasive agents that can damage the surface.
• Sealing: Regular sealing is recommended, especially in high-traffic and outdoor areas, to protect against stains and moisture.
• Polishing/Restoration: Can be re-polished or refinished to restore its original look if necessary.

Cutting Sizes (cm & inch):

• Standard Slab Sizes: 250-300 cm x 120-160 cm
• Tile Sizes: 30x30 cm, 30x60 cm, 40x40 cm, 60x60 cm, 60x120 cm, and custom sizes available upon request.
• Thickness Options: 2 cm and 3 cm, with other thicknesses available for custom orders. 

Surface Finish Options:

• Polished: Glossy and reflective, enhancing the veining and natural colors.
• Honed: Matte and smooth, offering a softer and more natural look.
• Sandblasted: Rough and anti-slip, ideal for exterior and high-traffic applications.
• Brushed: Textured and slightly weathered, adding character and slip resistance.
• Tumbled: Aged and rustic appearance with softened edges.
• Leathered: Textured with a slight sheen, emphasizing the stone’s natural beauty.
