Raumünzach Granite: complete guide
Overview
Raumünzach granite is a grey granite from the Black Forest, in Baden-Württemberg. It is chosen for paving and stonework that require solidity and a natural appearance.
History and origin
Raumünzach is in the northern Black Forest, an area where granite has long been a resource for local building. Granites from the region have traditionally been used for walls, steps, kerbs and rural buildings. Today the material is also used in landscaping and street furniture. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
The grey background is composed of light feldspars, quartz and dark mica in a medium-coarse grain. The size of the crystals and the presence of small patches may vary from one slab to another. Bush-hammered or point-tooled, it has a rustic look; polished, it is more contrasted.
Uses
Ideal for gardens, dry-stone walls, massive steps, kerbs, paving and street furniture. Indoors it is used for floors and tops with a natural feel. For very refined settings it may appear somewhat rustic in rough finishes.
Care and maintenance
Outdoors, periodic washing is enough, including with a pressure washer at moderate pressure. Indoors, a neutral detergent and a stain-proofing protector on work surfaces.
