Juparana Classico Rio

Juparana Classico Rio is a Brazilian hard stone with flowing beige-grey-brown movement, petrographically a gneiss and carried in the trade as a granite. At ROSSITTIS we supply it as a raw slab as well as for tiles and floors whenever lively natural stone markings with robust technology are called for.

About Juparana Classico Rio

Juparana Classico Rio is one of the classic Brazilian stones of movement. Instead of a granular granite image it shows flowing lines, bands and waves in beige, grey, brown and slightly reddish tones. This produces a warm, lively surface that appears very distinctive on large floors or kitchen tops. Compared with calmer grey granites, Juparana Classico Rio is considerably more dynamic; compared with very wild exotics, however, it still remains easy to control. That is exactly why it has been used in Germany for years for floors, kitchens and stairs.

Finishes

Juparana Classico Rio is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Poliert

Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung im Hartgesteinsegment — eine spiegelglatte, hochglänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und maximaler Tiefenwirkung der Mineralstruktur. Als säurebeständiges Silikatgestein ist polierter Granit pflegeleicht und für Küchenarbeitsplatten, Wandverkleidungen und repräsentative Sichtflächen erste Wahl.

Care & fabrication

Juparana Classico Rio should be sealed on floors and worktops so that water, oil and coloured liquids penetrate the surface less readily. With animated, lighter passages in particular that makes everyday use considerably easier.

For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners, water and soft cloths or mops are sufficient. On kitchen surfaces, grease, coffee and wine should not be left standing unnecessarily long, even though the material is considerably more robust than marble.

Avoid aggressive descalers, strongly film-forming care products and abrasive pads. An animated hard stone is easier to clean and care for when the surface is not loaded with unnecessarily harsh chemicals.

Outdoors, clean and care for the stone regularly, remove organic growth early and refresh the sealer according to use. That keeps the markings clear and the surface clean over the long term.
