Giallo Veneziano Granite: the complete guide
Overview
Giallo Veneziano Granite is a Brazilian granite with a golden yellow background, speckled with burgundy garnets and dark crystals. It is chosen for warm, bright rooms, with the practicality of granite in the kitchen.
History and origin
It comes from Brazil and was for years one of the most widespread yellow granites for kitchen worktops and floors. The Italian name is commercial and does not indicate an origin in the Veneto. Its warm colour suits both classic kitchens and rustic interiors. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
The creamy yellow background is crossed by ochre patches, black specks and wine-coloured garnets, sometimes with slight undulations. The tone can vary from light yellow to golden between batches. Polished, it looks warm and deep; honed or brushed, it becomes lighter and more natural.
Uses
Suitable for kitchen worktops, bathrooms, floors, stairs and windowsills. It works well outdoors, bearing in mind that yellow stones may show slight variations in tone due to the natural oxidation of iron minerals.
Care and maintenance
Treat with a stain-proofing protector, because yellow granites are somewhat more absorbent. Clean with a neutral detergent, avoiding bleach and aggressive products that can alter its colour.
