Costa Green - green granite of natural origin

Technical characteristics of the Costa Green

Geologically it is a silicate intrusive magmatic rock (silicate granite/quartzite rich in feldspars, quartz, muscovite and epidote/chlorite, responsible for the green coloration). 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, inglivity and thermal changes, combined with a very low liquid absorption rate. To best protect surfaces against oily or pigmenting substances, the usual protective water-oil-repellent sealing is recommended.

Applications in design

– luxury kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, scenic islands, and bar counters thanks to total immunity to food acids, accidental scratches, and heat.

– high-traffic flooring and cladding: ideal for indoor and outdoor floors, executive lobbies, hotel suites, stairways, and ventilated facades thanks to maximum mechanical stability and weather resistance.

– designer bathroom, SPA, and vanity rooms: widely used for refined vanity tops, shower trays, and wall coverings in wellness areas and bath rooms.

– bookmatch compositions and bespoke furnishings: the fluid flamed texture lends itself beautifully to mirrored poses for accent walls, fireplace surrounds, dining tables and high-end reception desks.
