Характеристики и геология камня
Quarried in China, this premium grey granite is globally recognized for its exceptional density and structural stability. Гранит is a volcanic igneous rock, making it naturally impervious to extreme freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and UV fading. Finished with a rough Split Face (Rock Face), the stone exposes its natural crystalline grain, providing a highly textured, 3D surface that casts beautiful architectural shadows.

Описание цвета и узора
The color palette is a highly consistent, sophisticated mid-to-dark grey, often featuring the classic “salt and pepper” granular texture typical of premium granite. The installation style is an Ashlar Pattern, which utilizes varying sizes of rectangular and square stones. When installed with traditional mortar joints, it creates a structured yet organic mosaic that feels historically grounded and architecturally significant.
Installation Efficiency (Stone Veneer)
While the front of the stone boasts a wild, hand-chiseled texture, the back of every piece is machine-sawn completely flat. This transforms heavy structural stone into a manageable “veneer.” Masons can easily apply heavy-duty thin-set or mortar to the flat back and adhere it directly to concrete block or prepared substrates, saving massive amounts of labor time and structural framing costs.

Expert Buying Guide & Masonry Insights
Всё, что нужно знать перед покупкой
Концептуальный дизайн: A mix of square and rectangular natural grey granite stones with a rough, bulging front face and a perfectly flat, sawn back, designed to be applied to walls as a protective and decorative layer.
Почему он выделяется: Grey granite is the workhorse of the stone industry. It doesn’t fade, rust, or degrade. Using an “Ashlar” mix breaks up the monotony of standard brick-laying, creating a wall that looks like traditional, historic stonemasonry.
Советы по стилизации: The image shows the stone installed with visible, light-colored mortar joints. This traditional installation highlights the individual shapes of the stones and contrasts beautifully with the dark grey granite. Alternatively, you can have your mason “dry-stack” them (pushing them tight together with no visible mortar) for a more modern, rugged look.
Customization Options: The illusion of a solid stone wall is easily broken if the corners look thin. Always specify and order our custom L-shaped corner pieces. They wrap around the edges of your wall or pillars, hiding the flat sawn back entirely.
Important Considerations: Even though this is a “veneer” with a flat back, it is still natural granite and significantly heavier than ceramic tile or faux manufactured stone. Ensure your wall substrate (like concrete blocks or cement board) is structurally rated to hold heavy natural stone, and use high-quality, polymer-modified stone adhesives.
ЧАСТО ЗАДАВАЕМЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ
This is 100% natural China Grey Granite, quarried from the earth and hand-split for texture.
2. What does “Ashlar” mean?
Ashlar refers to a masonry pattern that uses a mixture of differently sized square and rectangular stones, creating a structured yet randomized, interlocking look.
3. Are the backs of the stones flat?
Yes. The back of every piece is machine-sawn completely flat. This makes it a “veneer,” allowing for quick and efficient installation against flat walls.
4. Can this be used for exterior retaining walls?
Absolutely. Granite is highly durable, freeze-thaw resistant, and weatherproof, making it the premier choice for exterior landscaping and retaining walls.
5. Do I need to use grout or mortar joints?
It is up to your design preference. You can install them with visible mortar joints (as shown in the product image) for a traditional look, or dry-stack them tightly for a modern aesthetic.
6. Is it safe to use around a fireplace?
Yes, natural granite is non-combustible and highly heat-resistant, making it a perfectly safe and classic choice for fireplace surrounds and chimneys.
7. Does grey granite need to be sealed?
For outdoor use, sealing is generally not required as granite is very dense. For indoor use, especially around fireplaces where soot may occur, a penetrating sealer makes cleaning easier.
8. Do you provide corner pieces?
Yes, we highly recommend and manufacture custom L-shaped corner pieces to ensure the edges of your walls look like solid structural blocks.
9. How do I clean the rough split face surface?
Outdoors, it can be safely power-washed. Indoors, use a vacuum with a brush attachment or a stiff bristle brush with a neutral stone cleaner.
10. Will the grey color fade in the sun?
No. Natural granite is completely UV resistant. The classic grey color is permanent and will not fade over time.
11. Is this heavier than normal tile?
Yes, significantly heavier. Because of the 3D rock face, the stone is thick. Ensure your wall substrate and adhesive are rated for heavy natural stone.
12. Can I order specific sizes?
Yes. While an Ashlar pattern is a mix of sizes, as a direct factory, we can cut the stones to your specific modular size requirements if you prefer a uniform look.
13. Are you a factory or a trading company?
Caron Stone is a direct stone fabrication factory in China, capable of supplying bulk tonnage for large commercial and residential developments.
14. How is the stone packaged for shipping?
The veneers are packed in heavy-duty, fumigated wooden crates designed to withstand the immense weight of granite during international sea freight.
15. What is the production lead time?
Depending on the order volume and the hand-chiseling required, production typically takes 2 to 4 weeks prior to shipping.
