Tell me about the stone

Just like the colors of the desert, this rugged Kokomo Gold sandstone is a warming addition to your home. It varies in color from a sandy yellow, to pale orange and pink tones. It is fine grained and therefore has minimal veining or crystals to pierce the delicate hue. While each tile is totally unique in its shade and texture, the effect is a relatively consistent soft sandy color.

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock created by layers of minerals building up over time. These layers eventually compress to form a solid rock over a period of thousands of years. It is a durable stone that has been used as a building material for centuries.

Just like many natural stones, it is porous, therefore we recommend that it is sealed upon application to prevent stains and water damage. This is a process that will extend the lifetime of the stone. If cared for properly, sandstone can last for decades without the need for replacement. It's a great investment for those looking for a warm and inviting interior.

Tell me about the tile's finish

This Kokomo Gold sandstone has an innate ruggedness to its design. This is emphasized by its natural cleft face, which is achieved by carving the stone to the correct shape and size. There is no refinement required with this finish, instead, it is left with the stone's organic texture. It retains its bumps and ridges, leaving it craggy and earthy looking.

This is a great finish for those looking for a rustic design, but it also comes with a number of functional benefits. Firstly, it makes a great outdoor tile because each stone has a sufficient level of traction. Outdoor areas can become slippery when wet if they do not have enough grip, but a natural cleft face provides the perfect protection.

It's also one of the most durable finishes on the market, making it ideal for those who require a low maintenance solution. Some of the more refined finishes require upkeep to ensure their effect is maintained, but a natural cleft face relies on nature's innate beauty, therefore wear and tear will not impact the stone in the same way. Many prefer the look of a worn-in tile, paying high prices for reclaimed vintage stones.

What overall look will I achieve?

Kokomo Gold makes a great outdoor tile for your patio, porch, or driveway. Surround it with luscious shrubs and bold flowers for an oasis-in-the-desert feel. Add a wooden furniture set and a pergola full of climbing florals for the ultimate place to escape to. Your summer evenings have never looked so good.

On the driveway, create a sturdy and rugged place to park your vehicle. Its textured surface gives the stone sufficient grip, making it an incredibly practical material.

But don't let our suggestions restrict you, Kokomo Gold can also be used inside the home to create a rustic kitchen floor. Pair it with wooden cupboards for a traditional and cozy look - a great investment into your interior.
