Rose del Salto Granite: the complete guide
Rose del Salto Granite is an imported pink granite with a crystalline grain. It is chosen for paving, cladding and worktops that require a warm shade combined with the durability of granite.
History and origin
It is an imported material, sold on the international market in the pink granite range. Pink granites are among the most widely used stones in construction for their combination of colour, weather resistance and ease of maintenance. The origin and characteristics of the lot are specified at the time of quotation. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The pink background is formed by feldspars, with grey quartz and dark minerals distributed throughout. Grain and colour intensity may change from block to block. Polishing enhances its brilliance; flamed and bush-hammered finishes make it lighter and slip-resistant.
