REINHARDTSDORFER SANDSTONE -gwg-

REINHARDTSDORFER SANDSTONE -gwg- (gray/white/yellow) is a fine-grained gray/white to yellow, pebble-bound Elbe sandstone, without color selection. The color changes can be stratified or cloudy and irregular. Characteristic are numerous fossil relics and grave traces, which give this material an unmistakable charisma.

REINHARDTSDORFER SANDSTONE is frost and weather resistant and is mainly used outdoors, but can also be used attractively indoors. It is particularly suitable for solid and profiled stonework of any kind in restoration and new construction. Exemplary references include the newly rebuilt castles in Braunschweig, Potsdam and Berlin (Humboldt Forum).
