Description: Granito Grigio Dell'Elba granite is a compact, medium to coarse-grained, light grey, magmatic lithoype speckled with black, white and grey crystals. This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite but in the area of application of the European Standard this stone must be nominated as a granodiorite. A small sample of Granito Grigio Dell'Elba granite is usually representative not having a wide variation in colour and veining however swatch samples must be approved for large projects to ensure that the blocks are all extracted from the same quarry face for matching purposes During the polishing process a clear epoxy resin filler may be used to fill any micro fissures or tiny pitting however this does not affect the integrity of the stone, it merely provides an even smoother surface finish. Grigio Dell'Elba Granite is suitable for both interior and exterior use futhermore is frost resistant and with a constant polish. Products: Suitable for construction projects both commercial and domestic, prefabricated countertops/worktops, vanities, tiles, backsplashes, paving, fireplaces and memorials.

Surface Finish: Grigio Dell'Elba Granite looks best with a gloss polished surface but is also available as honed, leather/satin, river-washed/antique, thermal/flamed, brushed and sandblast finish. Sealing: Test with a small sample. It is possible that a sealant can be used on Grigio Dell'Elba granite however excessive attempts at sealing it could actually create a residue film build-up.

Quarry Location: Grigio Dell'Elba granite is quarried near San Piero in Campo, Isola d'Elba, Provincia di Livorno, Tuscany, Italy Synonyms: . Granodiorite: A medium to coarse-grained rock that is among the most abundant intrusive igneous rocks. It contains quartz and is distinguished from granite by its having more plagioclase feldspar than orthoclase feldspar; its other mineral constituents include hornblende, biotite, and augite. The plagioclase (andesine) usually forms twinned crystals, sometimes wholly encased by orthoclase. The mode of formation and occurrence, physical appearance, and mineralic composition and texture of granodiorite are much like those of granite; granodiorite is darker in colour, however, because of its greater plagioclase content. Mineral Composition: Average by % Technical Specifications Compression Tensile Strength: kg/cm2 Tensile Strength After Freeze-Thaw Cycles: kg/cm2 Unitary Modulus Of Bending Tensile Strength: kg/cm2 Water Imbibition Coefficient: Mass By Unit Of Volume: kg/m3 Hardness (Moh's Scale): Note: These figures and details are given for guidance purposes only, no reliance should be taken as to their accuracy.
