Mint sandstone setts provide the ultimate traditional finishing touch for premium hard landscaping projects. These natural stone blocks feature an authentic ivory cream colour variation that beautifully complements our Mint Sandstone Paving range. With reliable UK availability for patios, paths, terraces, and commercial projects, these sandstone setts deliver a highly practical, load bearing outdoor finish.

What are Mint Sandstone Setts?

Setts are robust, thick blocks of natural stone traditionally used for paving roads and framing garden features. Our mint sandstone setts share the same luminous, light beige palette as our larger paving slabs. Unlike a sleek modern finish, these blocks feature a specialized tumbled face. This tumbling process provides excellent underfoot grip for vehicles and pedestrians, and actively hides daily wear far better than a standard sawn finish.

Sizes Available

Thickness: The blocks are calibrated to 40mm. This provides the substantial depth and compressive strength required for vehicular traffic and rigid structural edging.

Finishes Available

Our mint sandstone setts feature a premium tumbled finish. While outdoor porcelain relies on precision machine rectified edges and an artificial micro texture to provide grip, tumbled natural stone achieves its traction completely naturally. The tumbling process softens the sharp edges and gently roughs the surface, providing exceptional slip resistance for both foot and vehicular traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are mint sandstone setts suitable for driveways?

Yes. At 40mm thick, these sandstone driveway setts are exceptionally robust and built to handle the heavy weight of domestic vehicles. The tumbled surface also provides excellent traction for both tyres and pedestrian foot traffic.

Why choose a tumbled finish over smooth stone?

A tumbled finish softens the edges and lightly textures the surface of the sandstone setts. For high traffic areas like driveways or borders, a tumbled face is highly practical because it gives superior grip, naturally hiding wear and tear much better than perfectly smooth stone.

Are these driveway setts safe in the rain?

Yes. The naturally textured tumbled surface achieves a PTV 36+ slip resistance rating, ensuring reliable safety and grip in wet UK weather conditions.

Do these sandstone setts match the Mint Sandstone Paving?

Yes, they are cut from the exact same blocks of natural rock. Because they are natural stone, the sandstone setts will feature authentic geological variations, but they share the exact same beautiful light beige, cream, and ivory colour palette as our paving slabs, our sawn mint sandstone bullnose steps, and our smaller fossil mint sandstone cobbles.
