Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.18 - 0.34%
- Density:
- 2660 - 2730 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 12 - 15 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 170 - 190 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a warm, golden‑to‑light brown base color with subtle, evenly distributed black and grey flecks or mineral speckles that give the surface a rich, earthy visual appeal and a slightly variegated yet consistent look across slabs; the overall appearance leans toward a natural, organic elegance that complements both modern and traditional interior/exterior designs. In terms of texture and structure, it is a classic Indian granite with a dense, coarse‑grained crystalline makeup, composed of tightly interlocked mineral crystals that create a uniform speckled pattern and a sturdy, robust surface; when polished the natural grains reflect light and deepen the brown hues, while its inherent density and crystalline structure contribute to excellent durability, wear‑resistance, and suitability for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and other architectural applications
Description
JD Brown Granite is characterized by its warm, golden-to-light brown base color, accentuated with subtle black and grey flecks that are evenly distributed. This combination creates a rich, earthy, and slightly variegated appearance. Its overall aesthetic is both natural and elegant, making it suitable for a variety of design styles, from modern to traditional. The granite is quarried in India and features a dense, coarse-grained crystalline makeup, typical of classic Indian granites.
When polished, the stone's natural grains reflect light beautifully, enriching the brown hues and adding depth to the surface. The dense, interlocked crystal structure ensures a robust surface with excellent durability, making it ideal for diverse architectural applications.
Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Water Absorption: Typically low, around 0.18% to 0.34%
- Density: Approximately 2.66 - 2.73 g/cm³
- Flexural Strength: Around 12 - 15 MPa
- Compressive Strength: About 170 - 190 MPa
- Hardness: Mohs scale rating between 6 and 7
- Porosity: Very low, enhancing durability
- Slip Resistance: Generally good, but depends on the finish (e.g., polished surfaces may be less slip-resistant compared to honed finishes)
Chemical and Mineral Composition
The composition of JD Brown Granite may vary slightly depending on the specific quarry, but typically includes:
- Quartz: 20% - 30%
- Feldspar: 50% - 60%
- Mica (e.g., biotite, muscovite): 5% - 10%
- Other Minerals (e.g., hornblende, accessory minerals): Varies, typically <5%
Usage
- Countertops: Ideal for kitchen and bathroom countertops due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Flooring: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor flooring, offering a robust surface with a luxurious appearance.
- Wall Cladding: Can enhance the look of both interiors and exteriors with its elegant tones.
- Steps and Stairs: Provides an elegant and durable option for residential and commercial stairs.
- Fireplaces: Adds a touch of natural luxury to fireplace surrounds.
- Vanity Tops: Perfect for vanities due to its resistance to wear and moisture.
Maintenance
- Regular cleaning with pH-neutral cleaners is recommended.
- Periodic sealing may be required to maintain resistance to staining.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers on polished surfaces to prevent scratches.
Cutting Sizes (cm)
- Common Slab Sizes: Typically ranges from 180x60 cm to 300x200 cm
- Tile Sizes: Can be cut to standard sizes like 30x30 cm, 60x60 cm, or custom sizes upon request.
Available Surface Finish Options
- Polished: Enhances color and provides a high-gloss finish, though it may reduce slip resistance.
- Honed: Offers a matte finish, which maintains slip resistance while providing a softer look.
- Flamed: A rough texture that increases slip resistance, suitable for outdoor applications.
- Leathered: Offers a textured surface without the gloss, providing a more tactile finish.
- Bush Hammered: Rough, pebbled surface for exterior paving or non-slip surfaces.
JD Brown Granite’s blend of durability, aesthetic qualities, and versatile applications makes it a preferred choice in various architectural and design projects.
