Carbon Grey Satin

Carbon Grey Satin is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Brazil. The quarry has the ability to produce a significant amount of material with a consistent grain structure, making this granite perfect for large projects as well as for kitchen countertops. The Satin finish brings out more depth in this stone and provides a unique texture. To produce the Satin finish on this granite, the slabs are brushed, which opens up the pores in the stone, making it more porous. Due to that, it is recommended that extra coats (often 2-4) of sealer to be applied to fully seal this granite. This granite can also be installed in full sun applications, making it ideal for backyard barbecues and similar installations. Finally, a mesh backing is adhered to the back of the stone to ensure safety while handling and fabricating the slab.

As a natural stone product, it is recommended that this be sealed to extend its longevity. Natural stone may absorb moisture during fabrication and from installation materials. Therefore, it is recommended that sealing should be done after the stone has fully dried to ensure proper sealer absorption, and prior to consumer use. Drying time will vary depending on the stone, as well as the temperature and humidity level. After sealing, allow it to cure completely. Arizona Tile suggests using a solvent-based impregnating sealer for the initial sealing.

This material is also called Vermont Black or Anthracite.
