Giallo Veneziano Granite Tile - Riverwashed

A subtle blend of cream and gray with slight pink and purple undertones, this Giallo Veneziano is the ultimate in modern sophistication. Its perfectly balanced cool tones are mottled throughout, giving a modern edge to an age-old natural stone.

While each tile has its own unique pattern, the overall effect is one of consistency, as the pattern is similar throughout the batch. There are no unexpected, large veins or crystals to break the stone's regularity. If you're looking for a reliable natural stone with a predictable tone and pattern, Giallo Veneziano granite is ideal.

It's easy to see why granite is one of the most popular household stones on the market - it comes with numerous benefits. As well the huge variation in colors and pattern, granite is also incredibly durable. As one of the hardest, most dense stones available, it has remarkable scratch resistance. This makes it the ideal stone for use in a lively family environment and is even suitable for high traffic areas of the home such as kitchens and hallways.

Just like most natural stones, granite will need to be sealed with a stone protectant to prevent moisture seeping into its porous surface. This is a routine measure that once completed will keep the stone free from stains and discoloration. If you're looking for a stone to use as a working surface around the home, for example, in a dressing room, bathroom, or kitchen, granite is ideal. It is heat-resistant and more than capable of dealing with a warm pan or curling iron without damage.

This tile is riverwashed, a highly unique finish that gives the tile a rough surface. It is similar to a brushed or antique look which creates a texture defined by the natural characteristics of the stone. For a granite, this is a subtle pitted surface - there are no deep grooves or holes.

This finish is suitable for almost all home applications due to its functionality and durability. It's ideal for flooring because the riverwashed finish gives the stone sufficient grip for daily life. This is great for a bustling family environment where rushing around may otherwise lead to slips and trips.

But the benefits don't stop there, it's an incredibly long-lasting finish that requires minimal maintenance. The textured surface is not easily damaged by overuse, natural wear and tear only add to the rustic charm of the stone.

Giallo Veneziano granite has a soft, contemporary color palette and a consistent pattern. This makes it one of our most design flexible stones that can be paired with a huge variety of interiors. Incorporate a bright white gloss kitchen unit and polished chrome fixtures with a Giallo Veneziano floor to create the perfect balance between modernism and functionality. Alternatively, take hints from its rugged texture with a country style, painted wood kitchen, and soft textile accents, creating a homely, inviting design.
