Where is Yazd Red Granite quarried from?
Yazd Red Granite is extracted from the Ghaleh Kharagooshi region near the Gavkhouni Wetland, located in Iran's Yazd province. This specific geological source is recognized for yielding a durable igneous stone with consistent color distribution.
What mineral patterns and color variations define Yazd Red Granite?
The stone exhibits a distinct spectrum extending from a lighter tomato red to a darker sumac red. Its rich burgundy foundation is patterned with a uniform distribution of black, brownish, and white mineral grains.
What makes Yazd Red Granite suitable for high-traffic flooring?
Its performance in busy areas is driven by high compressive strength and low porosity. With compressive strength reaching up to 218 MPa and an abrasion resistance of around 6, it withstands heavy loads, foot traffic, and mechanical wear effectively.
How does Yazd Red Granite resist moisture and staining?
It possesses an exceptionally low water absorption rate between 0.08% and 0.3%. This density prevents moisture penetration and staining, making routine cleaning straightforward for kitchen countertops, bathrooms, and outdoor facades.
Which surface finish should be specified for exterior paving and facades?
Flamed or honed finishes are recommended for external paving to ensure slip resistance. For interior wall cladding, main facades, and countertops, a polished finish delivers a glossy, reflective surface that highlights the stone's natural grain.
What dimensions and structural factors must be evaluated prior to installation?
This granite is supplied in standard slab formats and tiles, such as 40x40 cm, in thicknesses of 2 cm and 3 cm. Because of its density of roughly 2750 kg/m³, contractors must account for structural load-bearing capacity and proper anchoring during installation.
