Bjärlöv Granite: the complete guide
Bjärlöv is a Swedish granite in grey-brown tones, understated and compact. It suits those looking for a durable stone in a neutral, natural colour.
History and origin
Sweden has an ancient quarrying tradition, with granites valued in Scandinavia for construction, urban paving and memorials. Bjärlöv takes its name from a Swedish locality and is less widespread internationally. Availability must be checked for each enquiry. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is grey with brown shadings, with a regular grain and a fairly uniform appearance. Variation between slabs is generally limited. Flamed and bush-hammered finishes lighten it, while the polished finish warms its tones.
