Padang TG34 Cristallo is not a feature stone but a decidedly sober, dependable granite. Its appearance is light grey to silvery, fine to medium-grained and remarkably even across larger surfaces. It is precisely this calm that makes the material so interesting for contract buildings, stairwells, facades, terraces and functional interiors. Anyone looking for a pale granite for large continuous surfaces usually does not want spectacular veining, but a clean, load-bearing and predictable surface. That is exactly where Padang TG34 Cristallo plays to its strength.
The stone comes from Fujian in China. Petrographically it is a granite, that is, a plutonic igneous rock with a correspondingly robust mineral structure. Compared with more strongly figured materials such as Juparana or Ivory Fantasy, Padang TG34 reads as considerably calmer and more technical. Compared with darker Padang types it lightens external surfaces while still remaining classic enough not to look dated after years. In contract construction in particular, that is an advantage.
Technically the stone delivers load-bearing values: bulk density is 2,620 kg/m³, compressive strength 169.2 MPa, compressive strength after frost 152.6 MPa, flexural strength 15.5 MPa and water absorption 0.37 %. In addition, Padang TG34 Cristallo is regarded as acid-resistant and frost-resistant. That is a solid, everyday-capable profile for internal and external applications. It is not a stone of extreme values, but that is precisely why it can be used so widely: enough strength, sensible water absorption and good weathering performance.
The finishes currently available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down this page. Brushed finishes give the material a little more tactility without losing its calm. At ROSSITTIS, Padang TG34 Cristallo is available as a raw slab, as granite tiles, as treads and risers, window sills, skirtings, facade slabs and as a kitchen worktop.
The frank assessment: Padang TG34 Cristallo is not a stone for projects that want to sell exclusivity through figure. Its strength lies in evenness, value for money and technical reliability. Anyone looking for a spectacular premium granite is in the wrong place here. Anyone who needs a light grey granite that works across large areas and can be used cleanly indoors and out is making a very sensible choice with TG34.

Technical data
Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Padang TG34 Cristallo 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.
Satiniert
Die satinierte Oberfläche entsteht durch Bürsten, das weichere Minerale gezielt entfernt und der Fläche eine leichte Tiefe gibt. Mattes Erscheinungsbild mit subtiler Lichtreflexion und haptisch warmer Wirkung. Pflegeleicht, kratzunempfindlich und alltagstauglich — beliebte Alternative zur Politur in modernen Küchen und Wohnräumen.
Geschliffen C120
Mattes Erscheinungsbild durch groben Schliff mit Körnung C120 — die ebene Oberfläche zeigt eine zurückhaltendere Farbintensität als poliert und kann sichtbare Schleifspuren tragen. Im Vergleich zur Politur pflegeintensiver, aber stilistisch ruhiger; bevorzugte Wahl für moderne Innenarchitektur mit reduzierter Reflexion.
River finish
Die Oberfläche wird durch Wasserdruck aufgeraut und anschließend farbvertiefend behandelt — der Farbton tritt dadurch stärker hervor als bei der geflammt-gebürsteten Variante. Empfohlen für Außenbereiche, Terrassen und Fassadenverkleidungen, in denen eine plane, rutschhemmende Oberfläche mit kräftiger Farbtiefe gefragt ist.
Spaltrau
Die Oberfläche entspricht einer natürlichen Spaltung des Gesteins — matte, raue Anmutung mit hoher Rutschsicherheit und ursprünglich naturhafter Wirkung. Empfohlen für Außenbereiche, Mauerverkleidungen und stark beanspruchte Pflasterflächen. Die Plattenstärke kann durch die spaltraue Bearbeitung leicht variieren.
Geflammt + 1 x gebürstet
Die Oberfläche wird durch Hitze aufgeraut und einmal gebürstet, um scharfkantige Mineralreste zu glätten und loses Material zu entfernen. Etwas sanftere Haptik als rein geflammt, weiterhin rutschhemmend, Farbe weniger intensiv als poliert. Standardwahl für Außenbereiche, Terrassen und stark beanspruchte Bodenflächen.
Care & fabrication
Padang TG34 Cristallo is easy to look after, but should nevertheless be sealed after installation. On light grey surfaces in particular, a sealer helps to keep stains from oil, dirt and moisture more easily under control.
For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and clear water are sufficient. The finishes currently available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down this page.
Avoid aggressive deep cleaners unless they are approved for granite. Coffee, oil and strongly coloured liquids should not be left to act for long on worktops, even though the stone is robust at 0.37 % water absorption.
Outdoors, good drainage, regular cleaning and sparing use of de-icing salt are important. Frost is less critical for this granite than standing dirt on rough surfaces.
Frequently asked questions
Is Padang TG34 Cristallo suitable for a kitchen?
Yes. Padang TG34 Cristallo reaches 2,620 kg/m³ bulk density, 169.2 MPa compressive strength, 15.5 MPa flexural strength and 0.37 % water absorption. That makes it technically well suited to kitchen worktops and other loaded internal surfaces.
What finishes are available in Padang TG34 Cristallo?
The finishes currently available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Where does Padang TG34 Cristallo come from?
The stone comes from Fujian in China. It is one of the well-known light grey Chinese contract granites with a calm, even appearance.
How do I clean Padang TG34 Cristallo?
A pH-neutral natural stone cleaner is sufficient for cleaning and care. On pale granite surfaces it pays to remove oil, coffee and building-site dirt quickly so that no stubborn residues are left behind.
Is Padang TG34 Cristallo frost-resistant?
Yes. The stone is regarded as frost-resistant and still reaches 152.6 MPa compressive strength after frost. That makes it very usable for many external applications.
Padang TG34 or Bianco Sardo — which is better?
Padang TG34 reads as somewhat more technical and more contract-oriented, Bianco Sardo as somewhat more classically Italian. Technically both are solid; the decision is usually made on provenance, grain and project budget.
