Guide
Tandur stone: what to know before you buy
What Tandur stone is
Tandur stone is a limestone from the Tandur area of Telangana. It is dense and hard for a limestone, and splits into flat layers that are cut into slabs and tiles.
Colours
Tandur yellow is a warm yellow-beige. Tandur blue is a grey-blue. Shade varies within each colour, so order one lot for one area.
Finishes
Natural or rough Tandur gives grip and suits driveways, ramps and paving. Honed or polished Tandur gives a smoother indoor floor. Ask which finishes are available when you enquire.
Where it lasts, and where it does not
Tandur lasts on parking areas, floors, steps and paving. Avoid it on kitchen counters, where acids dull the surface, and avoid polished finishes on wet outdoor surfaces.
What decides its cost
