Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.37% by weight
- Density:
- 2680 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 6.87 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 139.30 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a warm yellow to golden base color with undertones of beige and brown, often enriched by soft veining and subtle mineral variation that create a natural, slightly lively yet balanced appearance across the surface. In texture and structure, it is a medium-grained crystalline granite composed of interlocking quartz and feldspar, forming a dense and durable material that takes a strong polish and enhances its rich golden tones while maintaining a naturally granular character
Description
Amarello Real Granite is known for its warm yellow to golden base color, enriched with beige and brown undertones. It features soft veining and subtle mineral variations that give it a naturally lively yet balanced appearance. This granite is quarried in Brazil and is highly appreciated for its aesthetic appeal and durability.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Water Absorption:Low, generally around 0.2-0.4%, indicating good resistance to moisture.
- Density:Approximately 2580 kg/m³, which confirms its compact structure.
- Flexural Strength:About 21 MPa, indicating good resistance to bending forces.
- Compressive Strength:Approximately 225 MPa, making it suitable for heavy load-bearing applications.
- Hardness:Granite's inherent hardness is typically around 6-7 on the Mohs scale, making it highly resistant to scratches.
- Porosity:Low porosity, enhancing its resistance to staining and weathering.
- Slip Resistance:Varies with surface finish; honed or flamed finishes generally offer better slip resistance compared to polished surfaces.
Chemical and Mineral Composition:
- Quartz:Around 20-30%, providing hardness and durability.
- Feldspar:Approximately 60-70%, contributing to its color and structure.
- Mica (Biotite and/or Muscovite):Typically around 5-10%, offering unique veining and color dynamics.
- Other Minerals:Trace amounts of others such as amphiboles and iron oxides, contributing to its coloration and veining patterns.
Usage:
Applications:Used widely for flooring, countertops, wall cladding, stairs, and decorative features in both interior and exterior settings due to its aesthetic and practical properties.
Maintenance:Requires regular sealing to maintain appearance and resistance to stains. Cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended.
Cutting Sizes (cm):Common sizes include tiles (30x30, 60x60), slabs (2 cm and 3 cm thick), but custom sizes can often be accommodated depending on the supplier.
Available Surface Finishes:
- Polished: Enhances rich golden tones with a reflective surface.
- Honed: Offers a matte finish with good slip resistance.
- Flamed: A textured finish that enhances slip resistance for outdoor applications.
- Brushed or Leathered: Offers a tactile surface while maintaining color richness.
Amarello Real Granite is a versatile, elegant material with excellent durability and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for a wide variety of architectural and design applications. Its Brazilian origin ensures an exotic touch that enhances both contemporary and traditional settings.
