Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is the supplier code for the classic Chinese red granite Rosa Beta — one of the best-known Chinese pink granite materials on the European market. “Padang TG48” is the article number of the supplying stone works (Padang is the historical collective term for Chinese granites, TG48 the specific selection), “Rosa Beta” the trade name of the selection. Characteristic is a warm pink-orange to salmon-coloured base colour of pink-tinted potassium feldspar, interspersed with fine black biotite speckling, transparent to light grey quartz and in places light grey plagioclase. The slab appearance is medium-grained and evenly patterned throughout, without pronounced veining or movement patterns. At ROSSITTIS we carry Padang TG48 Rosa Beta for floor areas, staircases, façade claddings, external paving, plinth details, pool surrounds, wall claddings, fountain surrounds, kitchen worktops, washbasin tops and project-related special fabrications.
Geologically, Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is a classic igneous granite from the south-east Chinese granite province of Fujian — China's most important granite extraction region, in which a whole family of white, grey, pink and red granites has been quarried for the world stone market for decades. Mineralogically, pink-orange tinted potassium feldspar and transparent quartz dominate as the main constituents, complemented by plagioclase and biotite as accent minerals. On the international market the material goes by numerous synonyms: Rosa Beta, Sardo Beta, G636, China Rosa, Padang TG48 — all designations refer to the same Chinese red granite. Rosa Beta is among the most widely installed Chinese granite selections in Central Europe and has been established as a reliable exterior and interior construction material for decades.
The technical values place Padang TG48 Rosa Beta clearly in the class of robust hard rocks: high compressive strength, low water absorption well below 0.5 per cent, frost-resistant to DIN EN 12371, acid-resistant within the normal application range. This makes the material fully suitable for demanding exterior and interior applications — including in Central European climate zones with hard winters and road salt exposure. Compared with classic red granites such as Rosso Balmoral from Finland, Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is lighter in its pink tone and finer-grained; compared with Indian reds such as Imperial Red or Rosso Multicolor, the colour distribution is considerably more even and the slab appearance calmer.
At ROSSITTIS, Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is available as a raw slab (random-size slab), as a floor tile, as a tread and riser, as a window sill, as a skirting, as a paving stone, as a façade element, as a pool surround and as a project-related cut to size; likewise as a kitchen worktop. The surface finishes available in stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down.
Our honest assessment: Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is a very coherent choice for projects looking for a classic warm pink granite with the full robustness of a hard rock and good value for money. Chinese granite selections from Fujian offer consistent quality, wide availability and high fabrication reliability — Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is one of the long-established classics.

Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polished
Polishing is the most classic finish in the hard stone segment — a mirror-smooth, high-gloss surface with the highest possible colour intensity and maximum depth effect in the mineral structure. As an acid-resistant silicate stone, polished granite is easy to care for and the first choice for kitchen worktops, wall claddings and prestigious exposed surfaces.
Honed C120
A matt appearance created by coarse honing with C120 grit — the level surface shows a more restrained colour intensity than polished and can carry visible honing marks. Compared with a polish it is more maintenance-intensive but stylistically calmer; the preferred choice for modern interior architecture with reduced reflection.
Flamed + brushed once
The surface is roughened by heat and brushed once to smooth sharp-edged mineral residues and remove loose material. The feel is somewhat gentler than purely flamed, it remains slip-resistant, and the colour is less intense than polished. The standard choice for outdoor areas, terraces and heavily used floor areas.
Care & fabrication
As a Chinese granite, Padang TG48 Rosa Beta can be maintained over the long term and cleaned without difficulty. For kitchen worktops, external paving and heavily frequented floor areas we recommend an impregnation on a silane or polysiloxane basis as protection against red wine, coffee, oil and tomato sauce. Routine cleaning is carried out with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth or mop; clear water alone is almost always sufficient for daily care. You should avoid strongly alkaline intensive cleaners, acidic products such as vinegar or lemon cleaners, and abrasive scouring pads. Outdoors, Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is frost-resistant and tolerant of road salt — road salt residues should be rinsed off with water in spring. We recommend refreshing the impregnation every three to five years.
Frequently asked questions
What does the designation “Padang TG48 Rosa Beta” mean?
“Padang” is the historical collective term for Chinese granites (after the Indonesian region of the same name, to which many early granite shipments from China were sent). “TG48” is the specific supplier article number for the selection. “Rosa Beta” is the actual trade name of the material. It is also listed under the synonyms Sardo Beta, G636 and China Rosa.
Where is Padang TG48 Rosa Beta quarried?
The material comes from the south-east Chinese granite province of Fujian — China's most important granite extraction region and one of the largest granite producers in the world.
Which surface finishes are available for Padang TG48 Rosa Beta?
The surface finishes available in stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Is Padang TG48 Rosa Beta suitable for kitchen worktops?
Very much so. As a Chinese granite, Rosa Beta is acid-resistant, stain-resistant (with a good impregnation) and very robust in everyday cooking. Wine, lemon juice or vinegar leave no etch marks.
Is Padang TG48 Rosa Beta frost-resistant?
Yes. Chinese Fujian granites are frost-resistant to DIN EN 12371 and have been proven for decades in Central European climate zones as external paving, stairs, façades and pool surrounds.
Padang TG48 or Rosso Balmoral — what is the difference?
Both are classic pink granites. Rosso Balmoral from Finland typically shows a darker, strongly red slab appearance with more intense garnet accents. Padang TG48 Rosa Beta from China is lighter and softer in its pink tone, with a finer-grained and more even mineral distribution — more flexible in planning terms. Anyone looking for a dramatic red chooses Rosso Balmoral; for a warm, light pink base colour Padang TG48 Rosa Beta is the better choice.
How do I clean and care for Padang TG48 Rosa Beta?
Daily care with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth — avoid acidic or strongly alkaline cleaners as well as abrasive pads. An impregnation on a silane or polysiloxane basis after installation provides additional protection against strongly staining substances; refresh every three to five years.
What does Padang TG48 Rosa Beta cost?
The price depends on the batch, thickness, surface finish and fabrication — with natural stone there is no serious flat rate per square metre. Business customers see prices once their B2B account is activated; private customers receive a complete quote through a fabricator near them.
