Giallo Fiorito Granite: complete guide

History and origin

It is quarried in Brazil and is one of the best-known yellow granites in residential construction. The name refers to its fine speckling, reminiscent of blossom. It is commonly found in slabs and tiles for floors, stairs and window sills. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is a light straw yellow, with grey and black grains distributed regularly. The pattern is uniform and variability between slabs is moderate, mainly in the shade of yellow. Polished, it looks bright and glossy; flamed, it becomes lighter and rough.

Recommended uses

Widely used for stairs, floors, thresholds, window sills and kitchen worktops. Outdoors it is suitable with a flamed or bush-hammered finish; like many light granites it tends to show oil stains if untreated.

Care and maintenance

It is advisable to apply an oil-repellent protector, especially in the kitchen, and to renew it over time. For cleaning use neutral detergents and avoid concentrated chlorine-based products.
