Description: Lundhs Antique granite is a coarse-grained, brown anorthosite with clear blue/purple 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 an anorthosite. A small sample is usually representative of the whole slab not having a wide variation in colour and veining however there is a difference between Labrador Antique HQ, Labrador Antique 2nd Choice & Labrador Antique 3rd Choice. 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. Lundhs Antique 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.
