Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.17 %
- Density:
- 2641 kg/m3
- Flexural Strength:
- 14.99 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 127.8 - 132.1 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a rich and sophisticated blend of deep chocolate brown, coffee, bronze, and dark charcoal tones harmoniously layered across its surface, creating a dramatic yet elegant natural appearance. The stone is characterized by flowing mineral movement with smoky waves, cloudy patches, and irregular crystalline patterns accented by lighter beige, copper, and occasional black highlights that add depth and visual texture. Its appearance can range from subtly uniform to dynamically expressive depending on the slab selection, giving each piece a unique natural identity. Structurally, the granite is dense, hard, and coarse-grained with an interlocking crystalline composition typical of high-quality Brazilian granites, providing excellent durability and strength. The surface displays a rich mineral sparkle under light, especially in polished finishes, while leathered and honed finishes enhance its earthy texture and dimensional character
Description
Atlantic Brown Granite, sourced from Brazil, is a luxurious natural stone known for its rich and sophisticated color palette. It blends deep chocolate brown, coffee, bronze, and dark charcoal tones, forming a dramatic yet elegant appearance. The granite's surface is adorned with flowing mineral movements, smoky waves, cloudy patches, and irregular crystalline patterns, all accented by lighter beige, copper, and occasional black highlights. This variety in patterns and tones means each slab has a unique identity, ranging from subtly uniform to dynamically expressive.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Water Absorption: 0.17%
- Density: 2641 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: 14.99 MPa
- Compressive Strength: 127.8 - 132.1 MPa
- Hardness: Typically measures around 6-7 on Mohs scale, indicating strong resistance to scratches.
- Porosity: Generally low, making it resistant to stains and moisture damage.
- Slip Resistance: When polished, the surface can be slippery when wet, but honed and leathered finishes enhance slip resistance.
Chemical and Mineral Composition:
The stone primarily consists of:
- Quartz: ~25-35%
- Feldspar (Alkali feldspar and plagioclase): ~55-65%
- Biotite and Mica: ~5-10%
- Other Minerals (e.g., Amphiboles, Iron oxides): ~1-3%
These components contribute to the granite's durability and its unique coloration.
Usage:
Ideal for various applications such as:
- Countertops and Backsplashes: Its exceptional hardness and beauty make it perfect for kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
- Flooring: Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it suitable for residential and commercial floors.
- Wall Cladding and Facades: Offers a robust and visually striking option for both interior and exterior.
- Fireplaces: Adds a touch of elegance and heat resistance.
Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Use mild soap and water; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that might dull or scratch the surface.
- Sealing: It’s advisable to apply a sealant annually to maintain resistance against stains and moisture.
- Regular Care: Promptly clean spills to prevent potential staining.
Surface Finish Options:
- Polished: Enhances the stone’s natural colors and adds a high gloss finish, accentuating its mineral sparkle.
- Honed: Provides a smooth, matte finish with less sheen, softening the stone's appearance.
- Leathered: Offers a textured, more tactile surface that enhances the stone’s earthy qualities and provides improved slip resistance.
- Sandblasted/Brushed: These finishes provide additional texture and can reveal a different color depth.
Atlantic Brown Granite’s blend of beauty, strength, and versatility makes it a prized choice for various architectural and design projects, offering timeless elegance and robust performance.
