Lesotho Sandstone Cladding

Riven, hand-chipped, drypack, chunk and interlocking Lesotho sandstone — for feature walls, façades, pillars and boundary walls.

Lesotho sandstone is the pale, cream-to-gold walling stone you see on so many of Gauteng’s best entrances and estate walls. Its fine, even grain takes a clean split or a hand-chipped edge equally well, so one stone can look crisp and modern or thoroughly rustic depending on the format you choose.

We stock it six ways at our Northriding warehouse in Randburg: loose riven strips for a tight, linear stack; sawn drypack blocks for a dry-stone look; random chunks for rubble walling; and interlocking panels for fast, tidy feature walls.

Not sure which format suits your wall, or how much you need? WhatsApp us a photo with rough dimensions — we’ll recommend a format, estimate coverage and send a free quote.

Where sandstone cladding works best

  • Entrances & pillars

    Drypack and chunk sandstone give gate pillars and entrance walls weight and presence.

  • Feature walls

    Riven strips or interlocking panels turn a lounge, patio or stairwell wall into the focal point.

  • Boundary & garden walls

    A light-coloured stone that brightens a boundary wall and sits naturally with planting.

Good to know

Sandstone cladding: your questions answered

What is the difference between riven and drypack sandstone cladding?

Riven cladding is made of long, narrow strips (40 mm or 60 mm high) stacked in tight horizontal lines for a linear, contemporary look. Drypack cladding uses sawn blocks in a mix of five sizes, from 100 × 100 mm to 400 × 200 mm, laid like a dry-stone wall for a chunkier, more traditional look.

Can sandstone cladding be used outside?

Yes. Lesotho sandstone is used on façades, boundary walls, pillars and garden walls as well as indoors. We recommend sealing exterior sandstone to protect it from water marks and staining.

How much sandstone cladding do I need?

Riven strips and interlocking panels are packed 1 m² per box, so measure the wall’s width × height in metres and add about 10% for cuts and corners. Send us a photo and rough dimensions on WhatsApp and we’ll calculate it for you.

How do I seal sandstone cladding?

Our Water Block sealer is an invisible, quick-drying sealer for natural stone. On sandstone cladding it is best applied with a spray bottle or spray pump for even coverage, saturating the surface and leaving it to dry.

How much does sandstone cladding cost per m²?

We quote every job individually rather than publishing a per-metre rate that may not match your stone, size or quantity. Send us your measurements on WhatsApp and we’ll reply with a written, no-obligation quote — usually within the hour during business hours. Contractors and resellers get trade pricing.

Do you deliver sandstone cladding to site?

Yes. We deliver across Gauteng and to every province in South Africa on our own fleet of trucks, and you’re welcome to collect from the Northriding warehouse in Randburg.
