Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.2 By weight %
- Density:
- 2590 Kg/m3
- Flexural Strength:
- 9.2 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 221.5 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a natural stone with a white to off-white base color, often showing soft grey, beige, and light black mineral speckling and subtle cloudy or wave-like veining that creates a natural, slightly dynamic pattern across the surface. Its overall appearance is elegant and neutral, with moderate variation between slabs that gives each piece a unique but consistent look suitable for large architectural applications. In terms of texture and structure, it is a medium- to coarse-grained granite composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, forming a dense and durable crystalline structure. The surface is compact and strong, with good resistance to wear, and it takes a polished finish very well, enhancing its brightness and depth while maintaining its natural granular character
Description
Blanco Diseñado Granite is a stunning natural stone known for its elegance and versatility, often used in a variety of architectural applications. It features a predominantly white to off-white base color with soft grey, beige, and light black mineral speckling. The stone presents subtle cloudy or wave-like veining, offering a natural and slightly dynamic visual pattern across the surface. Each slab of Blanco Diseñado Granite is unique yet maintains a consistent aesthetic, making it suitable for large-scale architectural projects.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Water Absorption: 0.2% by weight
- Density: 2590 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: 9.2 MPa
- Compressive Strength: 221.5 MPa
- Hardness: High hardness due to its mineral composition, typically ranges 6-7 on the Mohs scale.
- Porosity: Low porosity, contributing to its durability and stain resistance.
- Slip Resistance: Varies with surface finish; polished surfaces may be less slip-resistant compared to honed or bush-hammered surfaces.
Chemical and Mineral Composition (approximate % by weight):
- Quartz: 20-30%
- Feldspar: 50-60%
- Mica (Biotite, Muscovite): 5-10%
- Other trace minerals: 5-10%
Usage:
- Ideal for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, flooring, wall cladding, and exterior facades.
- Suitable for both residential and commercial applications due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
Maintenance:
- Routine cleaning using a mild soap or granite cleaner.
- Periodic sealing is recommended to maintain its resistance to stains, especially in high-use areas like kitchens.
Cutting Sizes:
- Commonly available in slabs of varying thicknesses, typically ranging from 2 cm to 3 cm.
- Custom sizes can be fabricated based on project requirements, typically available in widths and lengths that fit standard residential and commercial spaces.
Available Surface Finish Options:
- Polished: Enhances the stone’s natural colors and patterns, providing a glossy finish.
- Honed: Offers a matte finish for a more subdued appearance and better slip resistance.
- Leathered: Provides a textured finish that highlights the stone's natural patterns.
- Bush-hammered: Creates a rough texture, enhancing slip resistance, ideal for exterior applications.
Blanco Diseñado Granite, with its refined appearance and robust properties, serves as an excellent choice for projects requiring both aesthetic appeal and functional strength.
