Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.25 - 0.5%
- Density:
- 2650 - 2750 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 12 - 15 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 170 - 210 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a warm golden-yellow to light beige base color with subtle creamy and sandy undertones, often showing slight variations from soft honey-gold to pale ivory that give the surface a naturally warm and inviting appearance. The stone typically features fine to medium scattered mineral grains in grey, black, and brown tones, sometimes with faint golden or whitish flecks, creating a balanced speckled pattern that is consistent yet naturally varied across slabs, without strong veining or dramatic movement. Overall, its visual character is elegant and uniform, making it suitable for large surface applications where a calm, warm stone aesthetic is desired. In terms of texture and structure, it is a medium-grained crystalline granite composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, with tightly interlocking mineral crystals that provide high density, strength, and durability
Description
Alpine Gold Granite is characterized by its warm golden-yellow to light beige base color, with subtle creamy and sandy undertones. It exhibits slight variations ranging from soft honey-gold to pale ivory, giving it a naturally warm and inviting appearance. The granite typically displays fine to medium scattered mineral grains in shades of grey, black, and brown, along with faint golden or whitish flecks that create a balanced speckled pattern. This pattern is consistent yet naturally varied, with no strong veining or dramatic movement.

Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Water Absorption: Approximately 0.25-0.5%
- Density: Around 2,650 - 2,750 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: Typically 12 - 15 MPa
- Compressive Strength: Usually between 170 - 210 MPa
- Hardness: Approximately 6 to 7 MOHS
- Porosity: Low, generally less than 1%
- Slip Resistance: Adequate for most indoor applications, but can vary based on finish
Chemical and Mineral Composition (% by Weight)
- Quartz: Approximately 25-35%
- Feldspar (Orthoclase and Plagioclase): About 40-60%
- Mica (Biotite and Muscovite): Around 5-10%
- Other Trace Minerals: Minor amounts of iron oxide, apatite, and zircon
Usage
- Interior Applications: Suitable for countertops, floor tiles, wall cladding, staircases, and fireplace surrounds.
- Exterior Applications: Can be used for facades, paving, and outdoor cladding, thanks to its durability.
- Commercial Uses: Ideal for hotel lobbies, office buildings, and luxury retail spaces.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean with mild, pH-balanced soap and water to avoid abrasive and acidic substances.
- Sealing: Periodic sealing recommended to enhance stain resistance, though its low porosity minimizes this requirement.
Cutting Sizes (cm)
- Slabs: Common sizes include 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses, with lengths and widths being customizable to project needs.
- Tiles: Available in standard sizes such as 30x30, 30x60, 60x60, and 60x90.
Available Surface Finish Options
- Polished: Offers a glossy and reflective surface, enhancing the natural color and pattern.
- Honed: Provides a smooth, matte finish with a soft sheen, reducing the appearance of fingerprints.
- Flamed: Features a textured surface that increases slip resistance, ideal for exterior applications.
- Brushed: Offers a slightly rough surface that retains color while providing a rustic appearance.
By selecting Alpine Gold Granite, one can achieve a harmonious blend of aesthetics and performance, suitable for various architectural applications. Its maintenance requirements and flexible surface options cater to both interior and exterior design project demands.
