Neuhaus Granite: complete guide
Neuhaus granite is a grey Bavarian granite with a sober appearance. It is chosen for outdoor work and for projects that require a solid, traditional stone.
History and origin
It belongs to the granites of eastern Bavaria, a region with a long history of quarries and stoneworking workshops. These materials are used in Germany for urban paving, kerbing, walls, monuments and cladding. Neuhaus granite is uncommon in Italy and is sourced through import. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The grey background is made up of light and dark crystals in a medium grain, with a uniform appearance. Variations between blocks concern mainly the shade, lighter or more bluish. Rough finishes lighten it and emphasise its rustic nature; honing makes it darker.
