In the 21st century, people will be concerned about the nature and seek for an environment-friendly living space. Through years of efforts, a green environment-friendly building material containing no radioactive substance has been finally found among hundreds of stone varieties – the sandstone with beautiful texture. With strong character of nature, clear textures and lines, some of which look like mountains or waters, wood textures or waves, fowls or beasts or even humans, the sandstones present the wonderful images of traditional Yunnan marbles. Some products are even of high collection value. As a decorating stone, it have different kinds of textures which may be divided into birch texture, beech texture, landscape texture, annual ring texture, and other kinds of wood textures in colors such as yellow, white, gray, red, brown, and cyan etc. The product has been mat-finished to cater to modern people’s trend, and presents a stereoscopic effect after sandblasting and matting. With texture similar to woods, it may be used to produce the fireplace with advantages of fire and deformation resistance. The sandstone has good performance in air permeability, sound and moisture absorption, capable of regulating in between dry and wet atmosphere: to absorb excess moisture in wet air, and release moist air to the dry atmosphere. Due to its outstanding ability in sound absorption, it can be used in theatres, conference rooms, halls, and stadiums etc without any aftersound, and will be an ideal stone material for modern decoration. Many famous stadiums and churches abroad have extensively adopted the sandstone to prevent any aftersound.

Among lots of sandstones, the windy sandstones are like natural ones from the nature, which inherit inner characters of natural sandstone and avoid defects of natural sandstone through advanced technology and techniques. The windy sandstone has textures like on rocks, and the rugged surface more contributes to the sense of roughness and mightiness and high-profiled color increases its distinction. The windy sandstone, characteristic of enormous charm without polishing, will be processed with combination of both traditional and modern technology to produce an exquisite artistic sandstone product with distinct textures, known as the artistic sandstone.

The artistic decoration of artificial sandstone sculpture has been made of natural sandstone ground to fine sands and then combined with cementation materials, which has the natural and simple appearance of sandstone, and also has stronger artistic expression than the natural sandstone to present ancient, modern, Chinese, or European style.

The sandstone technology originates from Italy and flourishes in mediaeval Europe. Since a long time ago, traditional architectures in Europe have been made of bricks and stones, while modern architectures are mainly made of reinforced concrete. Through our improvement, the artistic sandstone retains the texture of natural stone, and also has many new characters such as waterproof, anti-corrosion, acid/alkali resistance, and no radioactivity, and is an environment-friendly material. Its emergence makes ancient architecture terms, components, and decorations become available, and enables us to follow the latest trends.

Sandstone is a kind of board material made of metamorphic rock with relatively high content of silicon and many fine granules on its surface which may be cut into regular shapes. Such an advanced stone material has gradually risen in decorative art industry in recent years. In the beginning, it’s mostly used in decoration of senior buildings, villas, and hotels and little in common families. However, along with enhancement of consumption ability and aesthetic ability of citizens, sandstone products have been entering into common families with high proportion of common family consumption.
