Sandstone strips are basically long, narrow, and stick like pieces of sandstone which have a uniform width all over. These strips are created by precisely cutting long pieces from the sandstone. Although their appearance is quite alike to that of a stick, the sandstone strips do not have a rigid size and shape, their dimensions may vary according to the need of the application for which they are required. The distinguishing characteristics of the contemporary sandstone strips include their high resistance power and their multiple colors like pink, white, yellow, red, brown, green, and gray. Nowadays the sandstone strips are also being used for enhancing the interior decor.
