Installation Guide: Raj Green Sandstone Hearthstone

Proper installation ensures your Raj Green sandstone hearthstone remains safe, stable, and resilient for years to come. Follow these essential steps for the best results.

1. Base Requirements

First, prepare a solid, level foundation. Indeed, you must construct a concrete or masonry sub-base that meets standard UK building regulations. Ensure the base is completely clean, dry, and free of loose debris before laying the stone.

2. Mortar Choice

Next, mix a strong sand and cement mortar. We recommend a 4:1 ratio of sharp sand to Ordinary Portland Cement. Apply a full, wet mortar bed rather than using separate dabs. As a result, this complete coverage prevents air gaps and ensures uniform support under your sandstone hearthstone.

3. Sealing the Stone

Sandstone is naturally porous, so it requires protection against soot and accidental spills. Therefore, apply a high-quality, breathable natural stone sealer after the mortar cures. Additionally we highly recommend using a water-based impregnating sealer. This type maintains the rustic, textured look without altering the delicate green and grey colours.
