Capolavoro - brown granite of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Capolavoro

Geologically classified as granite or silicate shale, Capolavoro shares the extraordinary mechanical properties of Brazilian semiprecious stones. Its predominantly silicate and quartz-rich structure gives it extreme hardness, placing it at the top of the category for resistance to deep scratches, continuous rubbing abrasions and accidental impacts. Thanks to its extremely low internal porosity, it boasts an almost zero absorption coefficient, a characteristic that makes it highly impermeable and refractory to stains from complex liquids such as oil, wine and coffee. Being chemically inert, it is totally immune to contact corrosion with commonly used acidic substances, eliminating any risk of surface opacification. The mirror-gloss finish saturates the depth of the browns and enhances the inherent brilliance of the gold grain, while the brushed workmanship tones down reflections to give a matte, velvety texture to the touch.

Applications in design

Perfect for:

– scenic islands and kitchen tops: this is one of its main applications; its indestructibility and heat tolerance (hot pots can be placed on it) combine with an aesthetic that transforms the kitchen into a work of art.

– “Bookmatch” accent walls: the strong directionality of its grain makes it ideal for mirror posing, creating scenic backdrops in state rooms, hotel lobbies, or behind the head of the bed.

– luxury bathroom decor: used for monolithic vanity tops and walk-in shower linings, where warm earthy and gold tones create an intimate and regal atmosphere.

– designer tables: in high demand for the creation of dinner table tops or living room tables, where each piece is unique and unrepeatable.
