Medium Red Aswan granite characteristics

Medium Red Aswan granite is recognised by its medium, brick-to-rose red base interwoven with grey, black and white feldspar crystals. The red is clearly defined and even, deeper and more saturated than Light Red Aswan but warmer and brighter than darker granites. This balanced red tone has made Aswan granite famous since antiquity, when it was used in Egyptian monuments, and today the medium shade is favoured where a bold yet versatile red is wanted for both feature and full-surface applications.

Properties and finishes of Medium Red Aswan granite

Medium Red Aswan is a genuine Egyptian granite rating roughly 6-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, giving it excellent resistance to scratches, abrasion and heavy wear. With low water absorption, strong frost resistance and high durability, it performs reliably indoors and out, even in busy commercial settings.

Polishing brings out the depth and warmth of the red, intensifying the contrast with the lighter crystals, while a honed finish gives a softer matte tone. A flamed finish lightens the red and adds a slip-resistant texture for exterior use. Medium Red Aswan is part of the wider Egyptian granite range we quarry and process in-house.
