The soils mainly consist of moderately wet and wet sandy, loamy sandy and light sandy-loam soils.

• Sandstone consists of grains of sand
• Weathering causes an originally yellow-brown sandstone to turn grey
• can be finished both glossy and 'honed' (is made smoother by sanding it) (a matte shine, making scratches and spots less visible)
• contains limescale, under no circumstances should you clean it with acidic or corrosive cleaning products.
• to impregnate = resistant to moisture and stains
