FAQs
Absolutely. Andesite is highly resilient under all weather conditions.
Yes. Sealing andesite is a maintenance hack. It helps you reduce staining, protect from oil and grime, and prevent weathering, thereby making the cleaning process easier. We always recommend periodic re-sealing every 1–3 years, based on the usage and exposure.
Andesite is also a volcanic rock, like the other two and is just as strong. However, low heat absorption is the feature that makes it stand out. Andesite is easier to install, work with, and maintain. It’s denser and less porous than the other two. The smoother, more natural look, slip-resistant surface, and sleek grey tones make it more stylish and practical as a choice for modern designs.
To complement the architectural and landscaping layouts, out stocks include standard modular sizes and paving thicknesses. However, we cater to custom sizing or thickness requirements.
Always calculate your area in square metres (length × width) and add 5–10% to it for wastage/cutting. You may simply contact our sales team with your dimensions, and we can help you determine the required quantity, freight, and cost.
Absolutely, but only in dry or low-moisture areas.
