New uses are constantly being developed for sandstone because of durability and strength ; the renovation and restoration of existing structures, the building of prestigous residential projects and the production of standard landscape items such as patio stones, wall stone and split face ashlar.
From raw block to masonry unit, Cleveland Quarries has three on-site plants which process Berea Sandstone using some of the most current sawing and splitting techniques available. With abundant shop resources, sandstone blocks of up to 16 tons are transformed into workable slabs. Split face material for retaining walls, caps, steps and ashlar is split to size by a series of huge, quick recovery Hydrasplitters™. Berea Sandstone is squared, shaped, finished and carved to detailed specifications by skilled craftsmen and diamond technology.
Specifications:
CUT STONE
QUALITY: All stone indicated on the drawings shall be fine-grained Berea Sandstone™, quarried from the Northern Ohio deposits of Cleveland Quarries, Birmingham, Ohio. Sandstone shall be of homogenous composition throughout, with a moderate range of shadings and veinings, and shall come from quarries which have been in continuous operation for a period of 75 years or more.
SAMPLES: Prior to award of general contract, samples indicating range of color and veinings shall be submitted for the architects' approval.
ASHLAR VENEERING
SPLIT FACE VENEERING: Sandstone fabricated by Cleveland Quarries, Birmingham, Ohio, shall be furnished in random length unjointed strips, smooth on top and bottom beds, split on back and front faces, in approximately 3-1/2" to 4" bed thicknesses. Standard Course Height Ratio is 15% - 2-1/4", 45% - 5", and 40% - 7-3/4". For large scale projects a 10-1/2" course height may be included. Other course heights and face finishes are also available. Please note: Course height ratios may be varied by architects.
COVERAGE: Wall coverage obtained with the height ratio given for Split Face Ashlar, using 1/2" motar joint, should be approximately 40-45 square feet per ton.
PALLETS: All Ashlar Veneering is sold by weight and is furnished on wooden pallets, each of which contains approximately one ton quantities of specific colors and course heights. Prices are based on heights, colors and finish.

Berea Sandstone is an excellent building stone due to the composition of grains of Quartz bonded by Silica. The extreme hardness of the Quartz grains of Berea Sandstone enables it to preserve an abrasive non-slip surface. In addition to hardness, the quartz grains of Berea Sandstone possess a chemical resistance to the erosive action of the acidic chemicals in the atmosphere of today's cities. The silica bond does not deteriorate with time, exposure to water, or temperature change and so prolongs the longevity of the stone.
