Brief Description

Tigrado Granite is an exotic natural stone that captures the raw, energetic movement of a tiger’s stripes (hence the name “Tigrado”). It features a dark, moody foundation that is dramatically interrupted by sweeping, diagonal waves of gold and amber minerals, creating a high-contrast aesthetic that feels both ancient and ultra-modern.

Characteristics

• Intense Visual Movement: Characterized by “wild” or high-variation patterns that flow diagonally across the slab, making it a focal point for any design.

• Rich Mineral Layers: The stone contains dense clusters of mica and feldspar, which provide a deep, multi-dimensional texture.

• Natural Luster: The golden mineral deposits have a semi-metallic quality that catches and reflects light, giving the stone a “glowing” effect in well-lit rooms.

• Bespoke Identity: Due to its exotic geological formation, no two slabs of Tigrado are identical, ensuring a completely custom installation for every client.

Features

• Industrial-Grade Hardness: As one of the denser granites, it is virtually impervious to scratches, chips, and heavy impact.

• Thermal Stability: Naturally heat-resistant, it can easily handle the demands of professional-grade kitchens without cracking or discoloring.

• Stain Resistance: Its high density makes it naturally low-porosity; when properly sealed, it effectively repels moisture, oils, and household acids.

• Low Maintenance: Requires only basic cleaning with mild soap and water to maintain its dramatic finish for decades.

Ideal Applications

• Statement Kitchen Islands: Perfect for large waterfall islands where the dramatic gold veining can be showcased as functional art.

• Executive Bar Tops: The moody, dark palette and reflective gold accents make it a premier choice for high-end home bars and commercial lounge areas.

• Luxury Fireplace Surrounds: Its heat resistance and bold pattern create a stunning, architectural anchor in high-ceiling living rooms.

• Modern Bathrooms: Ideal for custom vanities and accent walls in master suites seeking a sophisticated, dark-themed spa aesthetic.

• Outdoor Kitchens: Its resistance to UV fading and weathering makes it suitable for premium exterior entertaining spaces.
