Kandla Grey Sandstone Paving

Kandla Grey sandstone paving is a firm customer favourite here at Bridge Street Stone, and it’s easy to see why. The cool grey colouring works especially well in modern and contemporary outdoor spaces. This variety of Indian sandstone is characterised by its range of soft grey tones, from pale silvery shades to deeper charcoal hues, which create a clean, balanced look once the paving is laid. The name “Kandla Grey” comes from the Kandla region of Gujarat in India, an area known for producing and exporting this distinctive variety of sandstone.

The appeal of Kandla Grey is undoubtedly its understated elegance. The cool grey colouring works particularly well in modern and contemporary garden designs, bringing a sleek and balanced feel to patios and outdoor spaces. Once the paving is laid, the subtle variation between slabs begins to show through, creating gentle shifts in tone across the surface that give the finished look all the beauty you’d expect from a natural stone while keeping the overall look beautifully minimalistic.

Whether you’re planning to lay a new patio or add pathways through your garden, the cool Grey tones of Kandla Grey provide a strong and versatile foundation for a wide range of outdoor projects. Alongside its distinctive pearly ash colouring, it also offers the qualities that make Indian sandstone such a popular choice, including durability, natural character and affordability. Its naturally riven surface also provides good grip underfoot, helping keep the paving safe and comfortable to walk on even when the weather turns wet.

At Bridge Street Stone, all of our Kandla Grey sandstone paving is carefully selected for its colour, consistency and overall quality. You’re always welcome to visit our showroom in Colne if you’d like to see the stone in person and get a better feel for the colour and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

  
           What garden styles does Kandla Grey sandstone suit?              +          
     Kandla Grey is one of the most versatile sandstone colours available. It works beautifully in modern, minimalist garden designs where clean lines and neutral colours take centre stage. At the same time, the stone's natural variation allows it to sit comfortably in more traditional garden spaces as well. Whether your garden leans contemporary or classic, these paving stones will look equally beautiful in either setting.     
  
  
           Does Kandla Grey sandstone have a riven surface?       +          
      Yes, our Kandla Grey sandstone paving has a naturally riven surface. This texture forms when the stone is split along its natural layers at the quarry, leaving a subtle, uneven finish that adds character to the paving. The riven texture also provides good grip underfoot, making it a practical option for patios, pathways and other outdoor areas with frequent foot traffic.     
  
           Can Kandla Grey sandstone be used for driveways?       +          
      No, unfortunately, we do not recommend Kandla Grey sandstone paving for driveway installations. While this stone is incredibly durable and well-suited for patios and garden paving, driveways benefit more from materials specifically designed to handle the constant weight and movement of heavy vehicles. Sandstone works best in pedestrian areas, such as patios, pathways, and outdoor seating areas.     
  
           Can Kandla Grey sandstone be used indoors?       +          
      Yes, our Kandla Grey sandstone paving can also be used indoors! Its neutral grey tones work wonderfully well in kitchens, conservatories, garden rooms, and open-plan living spaces where you want a natural stone floor that visually connects with your outdoor paving. If you have large doors that open out onto the garden, using the same stone inside and outside can help the space feel more connected, creating a natural flow between the two areas.
