Paradiso Dark – natural granite from India

Technical characteristics of Paradiso Dark

Geologically classified as a migmatite with a very high degree of metamorphism, this stone is characterised by an extremely dense and compact crystalline structure, composed mainly of quartz and feldspars. From a mechanical perspective, it boasts excellent physical properties, offering extraordinary resistance to scratches, abrasion from constant foot traffic and accidental impacts. Its internal porosity is virtually non-existent, which gives it a natural and formidable resistance to the absorption of water, oils and fats, effectively preventing the formation of stains.

Design applications

– kitchen worktops and work surfaces: its dark hue and varied texture are perfect for concealing superficial scratches and fingerprints, ensuring a hygienic work surface that is highly resistant to hot pans and offers great aesthetic appeal.

– accent cladding and vertical walls: looks particularly striking when laid ‘book-matched’ or in large vertical slabs to clad shower walls, living room partitions or reception desks in luxury hotels.

– Indoor and outdoor flooring: perfect for large-format tiles in high-traffic residential and commercial settings, where the polished finish enhances the depth of the purple-black hue and the brushed finish lends a silky, textured appearance.

– Funerary and monumental art: thanks to its exceptional durability outdoors and the solemnity of its dark colours, it has historically been one of the preferred materials for the creation of prestigious monuments and commemorative works.
