African Red - red granite of natural origin

Technical characteristics of the African Red

Geologically it is an intrusive magmatic rock (granite with a predominantly siliceous matrix). As a pure silicate, it is totally acid-resistant and is NOT sensitive to food or chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, corrosive substances or acidic construction site detergents). It boasts technical parameters of the highest level: very high resistance to compression, mechanical abrasion, scratches and freeze-thaw cycles, combined with an almost zero water absorption coefficient. It is perfect for both mirror-polished surfaces and textured outdoor finishes such as flaming, brushing or bush-brushing.

Applications in design

– countertops and countertops: thanks to its total acid-free properties, hardness, and waterproofness, it is one of the top-of-the-line choices for worktops, central islands, and intensive countertops.

– high-traffic flooring and siding: ideal for shopping arcades, airports, hotel lobbies, offices, and high-traffic indoor/outdoor flooring.

– accent walls and facade cladding: used for ventilated facades, external vertical cladding and internal scenographic walls in classical or contemporary style.

– bathroom and wellness rooms: perfect for vanity tops, solid shower trays, sinks and easy-to-maintain shower wall coverings.

– street furniture and civil construction: stairways, steps, curbs, thresholds, windowsills and monuments intended to last unchanged over time exposed to the elements.
