This study presents the application of thermogravimetric, differential thermal, and thermomechanical analyses for the characterization of the selected Czech sandstone samples. The detailed study of mineralogical composition was carried out by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy. Thermal expansion during heating up to 1000 °C, together with the coefficient of thermal expansion showed almost the same values for all the studied sandstone samples. Nevertheless, the residual thermal expansion varied depending mainly on the phase composition.
