Description
Cut red sandstone is a smooth facing of red sandstone that gives builders a clean stone surface with warm orange red tones that match desert palettes. It is widely used for decorative cladding floors and for details where a regular rough sandstone face would feel too rustic. The clean texture reads well in both large temple like structures and in small interior features where a uniform stone look is needed. Cut red sandstone is ideal for desert themed architecture because it echoes natural red sandstone found in arid biomes while providing a refined finish that suits temples columns and walkways. It is simple to craft and to place and it pairs nicely with chiseled red sandstone and with standard red sandstone for layered decoration. Because the block has a flat finish it is useful for tiled floors and for steps when combined with matching slabs and stairs. Builders often use cut red sandstone for accents around windows door frames and on pathway edges where a neat stone trim is desirable. It also works well in landscaping where you want a stone surface that still looks natural in warm colored biomes. Overall cut red sandstone brings a tidy stone option to the builder tool set that maintains an obvious link to the desert environment while offering a finished look.
