-Red Beauty-
Description & Features
Red Beauty is a granite of Egyptian origin that stands out for its warm, saturated colour. The background ranges from orange-red to coral and brick red, with dense fine grey and black specks and a few light grains, while the fine to medium grain gives a calm, almost velvety texture without veins, consistent across the slab. A polished finish deepens the tone and makes it glow, while honed, flamed or bush-hammered finishes, available on request, soften it and provide a slip-resistant surface for exterior floors and stairs. No published laboratory tests were found for this trade name; the values in the table are therefore typical for granite (density of about 2.6–2.7 g/cm³, hardness of 6–7 Mohs, low water absorption), and for projects with strict specifications checking the lot is advisable. It suits kitchen and bathroom countertops, floors, stairs, window sills and thresholds, wall and facade cladding, as well as memorials and garden features. As a silicate rock it is not etched by kitchen acids, while sealing and cleaning with neutral products keep the colour vivid.

- Hard granite for indoor and outdoor use
- Not etched by kitchen acids
Technical Specifications
| Geological Type | Igneous plutonic rock – red granite |
| Country of Origin | Egypt |
| Color & Pattern | Orange-red to coral background with dense fine grey-black specks and a few light grains; fine to medium, even grain |
| Hardness (Mohs) | ≈6–7 (typical for granite: feldspar ≈6, quartz 7) |
| Density (g/cm³) | ≈2.6–2.7 (typical for granite – no test found for this variety) |
| Water Absorption (%) | ≈0.1–0.5 (typical for granite – no test found for this variety) |
| Compressive Strength (MPa) | ≈130–220 (typical for granite – no test found for this variety) |
| Flexural Strength (MPa) | ≈10–20 (typical for granite – no test found for this variety) |
| Frost Resistance | Generally resistant – granites with low water absorption withstand frost and are used for facades and paving; on exterior walking surfaces choose a flamed finish (no test found for this variety) |
| Acid Sensitivity | Resistant – as a silicate rock it is not etched by kitchen acids; strong acids and descaling cleaners damage the sealer and dull the polish |
| Recommended Finishes | Polished, Honed, Flamed, Leathered, sandblasted, bush-hammered on request |
