Tupim – red granite of natural origin

Tupim is a scenic and elegant natural pink-red granite of exotic origin, quarried in the rich stone basins of Brazil. Celebrated in contemporary architecture and interior design for the grace of its design and extraordinary structural resistance, it represents a stone material of great decorative charm, chromatic warmth and constant aesthetic dynamism.

Visually, it is distinguished by a harmonious background matrix in tones of deep pink, brick red and salmon, capillarily crossed by a fluid inlay of wavy veins and flares in tones of quartz grey, graphite black, ivory and cream. The natural and non-uniform movement of its texture gives surfaces a perception of enveloping visual softness together with a great sense of three-dimensional depth.

Technical characteristics of Tupim

Geologically it is an intrusive magmatic rock (granite) with a predominantly silicate composition (quartz, feldspars and micas). 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 and thermal shock, combined with an extremely low liquid absorption rate. To maintain optimal protection against oily stains or pigmenting substances, an ordinary hydro-oil-repellent protective seal is recommended.

Applications in design

– countertops and work countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to their total immunity to food acids, nicks, and direct heat.

– both internal and external flooring and cladding: ideal for high-traffic flooring, ventilated facades, wall cladding, and pool edges, ensuring unalterability and complete stability to the elements and frost.

– bathroom and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and accent walls, combining an elegant and warm aesthetic with total ease of sanitization.

– architectural and custom elements: perfect for the creation of staircases, dining tables, consoles, plinths and high-end interior and exterior furnishings.
