Halayeb granite characteristics
Halayeb granite is a grey Egyptian granite quarried near Halayeb in the country’s south-east, known for its balanced mid-grey tone with fine black and silver speckling. It is a hard igneous granite formed from interlocking quartz, feldspar and mica, giving it high density, very low water absorption and excellent durability. This combination makes Halayeb a versatile all-round granite that performs equally well indoors and outdoors and holds its colour over decades of use.
Product Information
Properties and finishes of Halayeb granite
Halayeb granite rates roughly 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it resists scratching, heat, frost and heavy abrasion. Its low porosity means it seals easily and stays stain-resistant. We offer Halayeb polished for a glossy surface that deepens the grey, honed for a smooth matte look, and flamed for a textured, slip-resistant finish on floors, steps and paving. Halayeb is a core colour in our wider Egyptian granite range, available as slabs, tiles and cut-to-size.
