It’s best used outdoors for walkways, driveways, courtyards, steps, pool surrounds and flooring. Its ability to withstand etching and staining makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and large urban designs.
Exfoliated granite pavers have the highest slip-resistant rating of P5, making them appropriate for outdoor use in areas subjected to moisture. It withstands rain, snow, heat, humidity and freezing temperatures. In addition, its inert mineral content makes it more resistant to salt attack, an important consideration in heat and thaw conditions.
This superior stone exceeds the standard values for granite building stones because tests show a compressive strength of 195 MPa, which is far superior to the minimum standard of 131 MPa.
Its highly dense quality and availability in multiple sizes and thicknesses allow designers to select appropriate stones to meet varying project needs.
Both sesame black and midnight black, another premium dark granite offered by Outdoor & General, are used as specified replacements for raven black and Adelaide black by local government and designers. We have ample stock and a stable supply to support large projects.
