Blanco Berrocal Granite: complete guide

History and origin

It belongs to the family of light Spanish granites widely used in construction and urban paving. In Spanish, the term berrocal refers to the landscapes of granite boulders typical of several parts of the peninsula. It is an imported material available as slabs and flooring formats. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is greyish white, with grains of quartz, light feldspar and dark mica distributed evenly. The overall effect is homogeneous, with slight variations in tone between batches. A polished finish makes it more contrasted, while flamed and bush-hammered finishes make it lighter and more uniform.

Recommended uses

It is used for outdoor paving, steps, kerbs, façade cladding and interior floors. It can also be used for kitchen and bathroom worktops. For public spaces it is best to choose greater thicknesses and rough finishes.

Care and maintenance

Wash with water and a neutral detergent; outdoors, periodic cleaning removes moss and deposits. A water-repellent treatment reduces absorption and slows the build-up of dirt. Avoid using large quantities of aggressive de-icing salts.
