What is piaskowiec?

Piaskowiec is a Polish sandstone used as a building material. It is known for its durability and resistance to weathering. Piaskowiec is primarily found in Poland, specifically in the regions of Lower Silesia and Jelenia Góra Valley, where it has been quarried for centuries. The unique properties of piaskowiec make it a popular material for architectural and decorative use, including facades, sculptures, and flooring. It varies in color from yellow, brown, and red to gray and blue-gray, depending on the location of the quarry. Due to its density and strength, piaskowiec is also used in road construction, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.
