History and origin
The name recalls the Jhansi area in northern India, from where its commercial spread began. It is a classic granite, long used for paving, street furniture, monuments and worktops. Its regularity also makes it suitable for large-quantity supplies. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is brick red or vivid red, with medium-sized black and grey crystals. The pattern is fairly homogeneous and differences between slabs are limited. Polished, it takes on an intense, glossy red; flamed, it becomes lighter and pinker, with a rough surface.

FAQ
Does Jhansi Red fade in the sun?
Being a granite, its colour is stable under UV rays. Outdoors, however, a polished finish tends to lose its shine over time due to weathering.
Which finish for outdoor stairs?
Flamed or bush-hammered, which offer good grip even when wet. Only the risers can be left polished for a richer effect.
Is it suitable for a large floor?
Yes, its regular grain makes it one of the easiest reds to lay over large surfaces with a consistent result.
