Sandstone types

We, the Sächsische SANDSTEINWERKE GmbH, extract high-quality Elbsandstone in six of our own quarries. COTTAER, REINHARDTSDORFER and POSTAER SANDSTEIN are quarried in their different varieties using the company's own technology and experienced personnel. The different technical and optical properties of these sandstone types offer a wide selection to find the right sandstone for your project.

We rely on domestic materials from first-class deposits with high availability, long historical tradition and shortest procurement routes. The raw blocks are dimensionally and gently extracted from the solid. A careful and object-related material selection guarantees our customers a first-class material quality.

In terms of sustainability and due to its outstanding eco-balance, domestic natural stone in particular can score points over other natural stones and building materials. Natural stone is available in sufficient quantities, can be delivered later and is recyclable. Our Elbe sandstone does not have to be manufactured in a complex process, nor does it produce polluted waste during processing. It should also be emphasized that the energy consumption for the production of our natural stone elements is low compared to other building materials. 

Sandstone matches already built materials, ages gracefully and conveys value as well as urbanity.
