Paradiso Blue - blue granite of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Paradiso Blue

Geologically it is a metamorphic/magmatic rock (migmatite or granite-gneiss) with a predominantly silicate composition (quartz, potassium feldspars, plagioclase and micas). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no carbonate components, it does not react to food or household acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or common detergents) and is not subject to acid attack opacification. It has a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, ingliveness and thermal changes, combined with an extremely low liquid absorption rate. To best protect the surface against oily or pigmenting substances, regular hydro-oleorepellent protective sealing is recommended.

Applications in design

– luxury kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, scenic islands, and bar counters thanks to their total resistance to food acids, scratches, and high temperatures.

– bookmatch compositions: the wavy, wavy pattern of the veins lends itself magnificently to the mirrored pose for the creation of wall wings of high decorative value.

– high-traffic flooring and cladding: ideal for interior and exterior flooring, executive lobbies, stairways and facade cladding, ensuring unalterability and durability over time.

– bathroom and funerary art environments: widely used for vanity tops, shower walls and wall coverings, as well as representing one of the international reference materials for funerary and monumental art.
