Natural Stone Tiles & Pavers — Currimundi, QLD

Natural Stone Tiles for Currimundi Lake and Renovation-Ready Homes

Natural Stone for Life Beside Currimundi Lake

Stone and Rock stocks travertine, limestone, marble and granite tiles — plus pavers, cladding, pebbles and sealers — for Sunshine Coast renovation and landscaping projects. Currimundi is a suburb where most people own the house they live in: the 2021 Census records 81.8% separate houses and 72.6% owner-occupied dwellings, homes being updated rather than sold off the plan. Beside a lake that opens and closes to the ocean, stone choice is a practical decision as much as a style one. Rather than buying blind, you can order samples, compare stone at full scale on the Baringa display walls — staffed weekdays, self check-in every day 7am-9pm — and have your order delivered. Start with a sample or a showroom visit.

Currimundi Lake is a coastal lagoon at the mouth of Currimundi Creek that opens and closes to the ocean in a constant but irregular cycle, and Sunshine Coast Council dredges near the lake entrance about every two years to replenish the eroded beaches around the lake edge. For anyone renovating beside water that behaves like this, stone selection is practical before it is decorative: outdoor surfaces near the lake live with salt-laden air, wind-blown sand and conditions that are often wet. Add the suburb's age — local histories record Currimundi's township emerging in the early 1960s, with subdivisions only spreading west of Nicklin Way from the late 1980s — and many homes here are now at natural renovation age. Stone and Rock's customers regularly do this work themselves: store-wide reviews describe DIY installs of crazy paving, stacked stone and grout-free cladding. This page covers choosing stone for that combination of lake, era and hands-on owner — and how to check it in person before you commit.

Choosing the right stone

Choosing stone for Currimundi's older, lakeside homes

Currimundi is an established, house-dominated suburb: the 2021 Census records 81.8% of private dwellings as separate houses and 72.6% of occupied homes owner-occupied. That profile leans renovation over off-the-plan building: bathrooms, patios and facades updated in houses their owners intend to keep. Much of the housing dates from the suburb's staged growth between the early 1960s and late 1980s, so new stone has to sit beside existing brick, render or timber rather than a blank slate.

Best uses: patios, pool surrounds and feature walls

Bureau of Meteorology averages for the Sunshine Coast — region-wide figures, not Currimundi's own — show 1,492.6mm of rain a year across 106.7 rain days, against a mean maximum of 25.5°C. Outdoor stone here is wet roughly one day in three, so patios, paths and pool surrounds need finishes and falls that handle water. Feature walls are the most forgiving place to start: reviewers describe installing stacked-stone panels and grout-free cladding themselves. The range runs from tiles and pavers to crazy paving, cladding, pebbles and sealers — one supplier for the whole outdoor stage of a renovation.

Cream travertine tiles

What we supply

One range for the whole renovation

Natural stone tiles

Travertine, limestone, marble and granite tiles are all stocked. Many Currimundi homes date from the 1960s–80s, so order samples and hold them against your existing brick or render before committing.

Natural stone pavers

On a coast averaging 106.7 rain days a year, paver texture and drainage matter as much as looks — worth raising with showroom staff when comparing options for a patio or path near the lake.

Stone wall cladding

Store-wide reviews show cladding is the format DIYers most often finish themselves — grout-free and stacked-stone panels feature in customer comments. A feature wall is a low-risk first stone project.

Stone sealers

The Enrich'N'Seal sealer sold here is, per its manufacturer, a breathable penetrating sealer for natural stone indoors and out — the type suited to damp, salty outdoor conditions like those beside Currimundi Lake.

Getting it right near the lake

What to plan for before you buy

Salt air and wet surfaces near the lake entrance

Currimundi Lake is an ICOLL that opens and closes to the ocean, tidally influenced when open. Outdoor stone near the lake copes with salt-laden air, wind-blown sand and damp surfaces. Showroom staff help weigh denser stone and wet-area finishes — no stone is sold as salt-proof.

Stone that's wet one day in three

Region-wide BoM averages show 1,492.6mm of rain across 106.7 rain days a year. Patios, paths and pool surrounds spend roughly a third of the year wet, so drainage and texture matter as much as looks. Staff advise on finish and format, and the range includes textured formats such as crazy paving.

Colour-matching stone to a 1960s–80s house, sight unseen

Many Currimundi homes date from the suburb's staged growth between the early 1960s and late 1980s, so new stone must sit beside existing brick, render or timber. Order samples and compare stone at full scale on the Baringa display walls before committing.

No pickup at the nearby Baringa showroom

Baringa is a showroom with display walls, not a warehouse. Orders are delivered — one reviewer wrote "the order arrived on time and intact" — or collected from the Springwood warehouse during its store hours.

First-time DIY installation nerves

72.6% of occupied dwellings are owner-occupied, producing plenty of hands-on renovators tackling stone for the first time. Store-wide reviews show customers succeeding with DIY-friendly formats — grout-free cladding, stacked-stone panels and crazy paving — with staff guidance on selection.

Sealing confusion in coastal conditions

Coastal humidity and salt raise questions about whether to seal, what with, and how often. The manufacturer of Enrich'N'Seal specifically notes its moisture-vapour transmission — the wrong sealer type can trap moisture in stone instead.

Questions we hear

Currimundi stone FAQ

Can I pick up natural stone tiles near Currimundi?

No. Pickup is not available at the Baringa showroom — it is a display and advice site. Orders are delivered, or can be collected from the Springwood warehouse (3362 Pacific Highway, Springwood QLD 4127) during its store hours.

Which natural stone suits outdoor areas near Currimundi Lake?

The lake is an ICOLL that opens and closes to the ocean, so lakeside outdoor areas see salt air and damp conditions. As general guidance, favour denser stone and wet-area finishes, and ask showroom staff about your specific position — no stone is salt-proof.

How do I check stone against my house before ordering?

Two ways: order samples through the site's dedicated samples section, or walk the full-size display walls at the Baringa showroom — staffed Mon–Thu 8am–4pm and Fri until 12pm, with self check-in visits every day 7am–9pm.

Is DIY natural stone installation realistic?

Store-wide reviews say yes for the right formats: customers describe installing grout-free cladding, stacked-stone panels and crazy paving themselves — one wrote "Beautiful result and very easy to tile." Staff can point you to formats that suit a first project.

Does sealing make outdoor stone slippery?

According to its manufacturer, the Enrich'N'Seal penetrating sealer sold by Stone and Rock does not alter the slip resistance of the sealed surface. That is the manufacturer's claim for that product; ask in store about the right sealer for your stone and position.

How often will outdoor stone need resealing on the Sunshine Coast?

It depends on the stone, its position and wear. The manufacturer of Enrich'N'Seal states it lasts up to 15 years, but on a coast averaging 106.7 rain days a year region-wide, exposed surfaces may need attention sooner — staff can advise on your specific project.
