Agra Red Sandstone

Description

Sandstones are clastic sedimentary rocks made up of sand-sized silicate grains. They come in various colors—red, brown, yellow, grey, pink, white—and serve multiple construction and decorative purposes. Among the many types, Agra Red Sandstone stands out for its vibrant hue and durability.

This stone is also known as Barauli Sandstone, Barauli Red Sandstone, or Karauli Sandstone, but is most widely recognized as Dholpur Red Sandstone. The red color comes from iron oxide deposits near its quarrying locations. The name "Agra Red" reflects its historical association with the city of Agra.

The stone primarily consists of quartz with natural cementing substances like silica, calcium carbonate, or iron oxide. Its composition mirrors that of Agra Red Textured Sandstone.

Agra Red Sandstone is highly weather-resistant—proven by structures like Delhi’s Red Fort and Agra Fort. It resists sun, rain, and even severe storms. It offers high durability, water and acid resistance, excellent strength, and minimal weathering—making it ideal for long-term applications with a consistent and modern look.

Dholpur Red Sandstone is a preferred choice in construction due to its ease of carving and shaping. It's widely used in decorative structures, monuments, and architectural elements such as beams, slabs, walls, pillars, roofing, paving, tiling, paneling, and flooring.

This versatile stone is popular in hotels, homes, resorts, business centers, and landscaping projects. It is available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and designs to suit any requirement.
