Samoa Granite

Samoa granite is a natural stone quarried in the regions of Barra de Sao Francisco, Espirito Santo in Brazil. It presents a yellowy white background including crystalline beige, black and grey minerals on a medium-grained pattern with hints of yellow colouring.

Samoa granite is ideal to display in kitchens, walls and floorings due to its minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, it brings and sophisticated looks in both interior and exterior designs which require a natural stone that offers a refined appearance with incredible performance characteristics and strength.

Granite is an ideal stone to work with, offering the possibility of having seamless pieces across large surfaces such as kitchen worktops, bar counters, bathroom cladding and kitchen islands.
Samoa granite slabs tend to be the largest in size across all natural stone groups which make it a cost-effective material when a large slab covers most small to medium-sized plots.

Granite is a magmatic rock which is made from quartz and feldspar amongst other minerals. It occurs naturally below the earth’s surface over hundreds of thousands of years resulting in an extremely strong stone that has been used over many civilizations in construction of buildings and monuments and paving. Most recently, granite has become the material of choice for residential homes as it offers unique and exotic looks, durability, strength and investment value to any property in which it is applied. The lack of calcium in granite ensures the stone does not etch like marble when exposed to acid present in lemons, oranges, etc

Slab sizes will cover areas of between 5.5-metre square and 6.5-metre square, which ensures large areas such as kitchen islands are installed seamlessly.

Standard thicknesses for this granite are 20mm and 30mm and it comes in standard finishes in polished, honed and special-order satin and bush hammered which allow for many options in terms of both design and style.
