QUAD SAWN BLOCKS
These blocks are a great option for both large Commercial Projects and Residential Land/Home Projects where everybody can enjoy the natural features of local sandstone whether it be a suburban or rural setting.
Quad Sawn blocks are cut with 4 fixed saws, producing blocks that are very consistent in height, which lead to easier, quicker installation and a stunning, neat finish.
These blocks are Wheel Sawn top, bottom and ends. They have one natural face bolstered off the quarry floor, while the opposite face on most occasions is profiled.
We use a Road Profiling Machine to 'profile' that is to get a dead level surface, to the quarry floor before cutting the blocks.
This produces beautiful square blocks with our Quad Saw Cutting process and thus gives a very neat and tidy 'top' side to the block once it is cut from the quarry.
However because the profiler does not reach into the edges of quarry, we cannot guarantee every block is totally profiled. Therefore we recommend that pointing the 'natural' face out can give a more consistent look and often provide a better option.
Your eyes will tend to focus on any imperfections when pointing the profiled face out, whereas the natural face does not have the same effect when focusing on this side.
We do NOT guarantee that every block will be profiled nor do we select these at extra cost.
Colour Selection
The range of colours for the Quad Sawn Blocks vary from Greys to Browns, and these are normally sold as "Quarry Run Colour" blocks. That is, whatever colour/s are available at point of loading is what will be received.
A "Select Colour" option is available for a fee if you want to choose all blocks the same colour.
Quad Sawn Sandstone Steps
Quad Sawn Sandstone Steps are also available, cut from the same stone and can be arranged to be delivered at the same time with your blocks.
Disclaimer - As with all natural materials variability in colour, texture and composition can be expected
