Is Indian Sandstone Slippery When Wet?
Safety is a worthwhile concern when choosing a new surface for your patio. Indian Sandstone typically has a naturally riven surface texture, providing good slip resistance in wet conditions.
However, because it is porous, algae and moss can develop if not maintained, which may increase slipperiness. Regular cleaning and sealing reduce this risk.
Choosing lighter colours may also help reduce visible algae staining. Proper drainage design during installation is essential to minimise water retention.
Compared to smooth concrete slabs, sandstone generally offers better grip due to its textured surface.
For families and entertaining spaces in Kent and South East London, sandstone provides a safe and attractive outdoor surface when maintained correctly.
