Imperial Red – red granite of natural origin

Imperial Red is one of the most famous, prestigious and recognized red granites in the world, mined mainly in the renowned mining basins of the state of Rajasthan, India. Appreciated in monumental architecture and high-profile interior design, it represents the perfect combination of chromatic grandeur and extreme structural resistance.

Visually, it is distinguished by a bright, dense ruby red and bright red hue, finely and densely dotted with an inlay of translucent quartz microcrystals, potassium feldspar, and black and dark gray biotite/hornblende dots. This medium-fine grain size gives the surface an incredibly homogeneous, vitreous and vibrant appearance.

Technical characteristics of the Imperial Red

Geologically it is a siliceous intrusive magmatic rock (silica granite). Compositionally very rich in quartz and feldspars, it is a totally acid-fast material and does NOT react with food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine or acidic deep cleaning detergents). It guarantees physical-mechanical performance at the top of the category: extraordinary resistance to trampling abrasion, impact, scratches, heat and intense frosts. It has almost no porosity and impeccable color stability when exposed to UV rays and weathering. It stands out excellently with mirror polishing, but offers excellent performance and grip with flaming, bushbrushing, brushing and sandblasting.

Applications in design

– countertops and countertops: thanks to its absolute unassailability from food acids, resistance to direct heat and scratches, it is a primary choice for islands, bar counters and intensive kitchen tops.

– high-traffic floors and exteriors: choice of choice for interior and exterior floors subject to heavy pedestrian traffic (airports, stations, shopping centers, squares and galleries).

– ventilated facades and external cladding: widely used for cladding executive building facades, padding, bases and plinths thanks to its absolute ingenuity.

– bathroom and vanity top rooms: ideal for vanity tops, shower trays and vertical upholstery that are easy to maintain and sanitize.
