Lappia Salmon Granite: the complete guide

History and origin

As the name suggests, it is linked to Finnish Lapland, a region of very ancient crystalline rocks. Pink and red granites are among Finland's best-known products and have been used for decades in construction, urban paving and memorials. Lappia Salmon belongs to this family, with a lighter, more delicate shade. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The salmon pink background comes from the feldspars, dotted with grey quartz grains and dark mica. The grain is generally medium and regular, with variations in the intensity of the pink between different blocks. Polished, it appears more saturated; flamed and sandblasted, it takes on a paler, dustier look.

Care and maintenance

For routine cleaning use water and neutral detergents. A water repellent on outdoor surfaces reduces the appearance of stains and makes cleaning easier.
