Red granite characteristics

Red granite is an Egyptian granite defined by its warm red and pink background, flecked with black, grey, and white minerals that give the surface depth and movement. The colour ranges from deep brick-red to softer rose-pink depending on the quarry, and it brings instant warmth and richness to a space that neutral stones cannot match. Beyond its looks, red granite is dense and extremely hard-wearing, holding its bold colour under sun, traffic, and decades of use, which is why it appears in both heritage architecture and modern luxury design.

Properties and finishes of red granite

Red granite is rated around 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, giving it strong resistance to scratching, weathering, and heavy foot traffic. A polished finish intensifies the red and pink tones and produces a glossy surface ideal for floors, walls, and worktops, while flamed and honed finishes provide slip-resistant, matte textures for outdoor paving and stairs. Bush-hammered and sandblasted finishes are available for façades and landscaping. As one of the signature colours in our Egyptian granite range, red granite is supplied in colour-matched blocks for large, consistent installations.

Where to use red granite

Flooring and feature walls

Polished red granite creates warm, dramatic floors and feature walls in lobbies, hotels, and prestige residences.

Monuments and façades

Its proven longevity makes red granite a classic choice for monuments, memorials, columns, and exterior cladding.

Worktops and landscaping

Red granite works for striking kitchen worktops indoors and, with a flamed finish, for paving, kerbs, and steps outdoors.

Red granite: frequently asked questions

Where does red granite come from? Egyptian red granite is quarried mainly around Aswan and the Eastern Desert. These are the same regions that supplied the red granite used in ancient temples and obelisks, which is strong evidence of the stone's durability.

What shades of red granite are available? Red granite ranges from deep brick-red to softer rose-pink, with black, grey, and white mineral flecks. Because it is natural stone, the exact colour and grain vary from slab to slab.

Can red granite be used outdoors? Yes. With a flamed or honed finish it offers slip resistance and weathers very well, making it suitable for paving, steps, façade cladding, and monuments in any climate.
