In modern landscape and interior architecture, selecting a stone that offers both high aesthetic appeal and structural durability is paramount.
Yazd Red Granite, quarried in the central Yazd province of Iran, is one of the most reliable and sought-after natural stones in the market.
It features a uniform dark red base adorned with fine black and white mineral grains, creating a consistent and elegant texture.
Unlike other red stones that might fade or wear down easily, Yazd Red Granite retains its deep color and polished finish for decades.
The stone's composition consists primarily of quartz, feldspar, and plagioclase minerals, which provide its characteristic strength.
Its homogeneous grain distribution makes it particularly suitable for large-scale projects where visual consistency is required.
From luxury commercial facades to heavy-duty urban paving, Yazd Red Granite delivers unparalleled performance and classic appeal.
Geologically, this granite is formed from slow-cooling plutonic magma beneath the Earth's crust, resulting in a dense crystalline structure.
This natural solidification process gives the stone its extreme hardness and highly resistant surface, suitable for extreme environments.
It resists acidic corrosion, thermal shock, and mechanical impact better than almost any other natural building material.
At SherkatStone, we select the highest-grade blocks from the finest quarry benches in Yazd to ensure premium results for our clients.
Our strict block selection process ensures minimal color variation and eliminates internal fissures before the stone is processed.
The commercial value of Yazd Red Granite depends on its color depth and the absence of light-colored mineral spots.
Our quality control inspectors evaluate several parameters during block extraction and slab processing:
Color Homogeneity: Verifying that the red background remains uniform without large white spots.
Grain Distribution: Ensuring a fine-to-medium grain structure across the entire surface of the slab.
Mineral Stability: Confirming that the iron minerals inside the stone are stable and will not rust over time.
Surface Integrity: Checking for micro-cracks and structural lines that could compromise the slab's strength.
Thanks to its outstanding physical properties, Yazd Red Granite is suitable for a wide range of demanding applications:
Major B2B applications include:
Heavy-Traffic Paving: Used in public squares, sidewalks, and commercial plazas due to its high abrasion resistance.
Exterior Wall Cladding: Resists thermal expansion and contraction, making it ideal for modern high-rise facades.
Kitchen & Vanity Countertops: Its low water absorption prevents staining from kitchen liquids and chemicals.
Stairs and Risers: Excellent slip resistance when finished with flamed or brushed textures.
Architects appreciate the warm red tone, which pairs elegantly with glass, metal, and light-colored stone materials.
The low porosity of the stone prevents moisture ingress, which is vital for frost resistance in cold climates.
Additionally, its high density makes it an exceptional choice for kitchen islands, bar tops, and outdoor BBQ areas.
At SherkatStone, we specialize in coordinating bulk orders of Yazd Red Granite for international buyers.
We maintain strong partnerships with major quarries in Yazd, ensuring a steady supply of high-grade raw blocks.
These blocks are processed in modern factories equipped with advanced multi-blade gang saws and polishing lines.
Our quality control inspectors verify the thickness tolerance, surface polish, and edge quality of every export batch.
By managing the supply chain from the quarry to the shipping port, we guarantee timely delivery and premium quality.
We provide full commercial documentation, including physical test reports, certificates of origin, and loading photos.
Clients can choose from different grades, including Premium, Standard, and Commercial, based on project requirements.
Our dedicated team ensures that all logistics, customs clearance, and port operations run smoothly and efficiently.
Our Yazd Red Granite is regularly tested in certified laboratories to verify its physical performance:
| Physical Property | Testing Method | Measured Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk Specific Gravity (Density) | ASTM C97 | 2.67 g/cm³ |
| Water Absorption | ASTM C97 | 0.18% |
| Compressive Strength (Dry) | ASTM C170 | 130 MPa |
| Compressive Strength (Wet) | ASTM C170 | 110 MPa |
| Modulus of Rupture | ASTM C99 | 13.5 MPa |
| Abrasion Resistance | ASTM C241 | 23.0 Ha |
We supply Yazd Red Granite in various commercial formats to suit diverse design requirements:
Gang-Saw Slabs: Available in 20mm and 30mm thicknesses, with dimensions reaching 2800mm x 1600mm.
Calibrated Tiles: Standard tiles including 300x600mm, 600x600mm, and 800x800mm formats.
Exterior Paving: Thicker slabs (30mm to 80mm) with textured finishes for outdoor plazas and streets.
Raw Blocks: Export-grade blocks ranging from 15 to 25 tons, checked for internal cracks.
Custom dimensions can be manufactured for larger B2B project orders to minimize waste and installation time.
The appearance and texture of Yazd Red Granite can be tailored through different finishing techniques:
Polished: High-gloss finish that enhances the red color, perfect for luxury indoor applications.
Honed: A smooth matte finish that offers a subtle, contemporary appearance for floors and walls.
Flamed: Heat treatment that creates a rough, slip-resistant surface, ideal for outdoor walkways.
Other finishes, such as bush-hammered and leathered, are also available upon request for bespoke architectural designs.
As a premium granite, Yazd Red Granite requires minimal maintenance and is highly resistant to daily wear:
Sealing: We recommend sealing the stone after installation to protect against oil-based stains.
Routine Cleaning: Clean with water and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic or abrasive detergents.
Scratch Resistance: Highly resistant to scratching; however, cutting directly on counter surfaces is not advised.
Safe transit requires secure packaging designed for international heavy cargo shipping:
Wooden A-Frames: Large slabs are secured on heavy-duty, fumigated wooden A-frames to prevent breaking.
Strong Wooden Crates: Tiles and paving stones are packed in reinforced, foam-lined wooden crates.
Strapping & Bracing: Steel bands and timber braces are used inside the container to prevent shifting during transit.
We coordinate global logistics through reliable sea and land transport networks:
Sea-Freight: Shipments are dispatched via Bandar Abbas port (Shahid Rajaee) to global destinations.
Land-Transit: Direct truck transport via Astara and Bazargan borders to CIS and European destinations.
Customs Clearance: We handle all export documentations, helping to streamline customs clearance in the destination country.
It is quarried in the Yazd region of Yazd Province, Iran, which is famous for its high-quality red granite quarries.
The red color is due to the presence of potassium feldspar (orthoclase) distributed uniformly in the crystalline structure.
Yes, its high compressive strength and low water absorption make it exceptionally durable for outdoor public squares.
Typically 4 to 6 weeks from deposit confirmation to delivery at Bandar Abbas port.
Yes, we process 40mm, 50mm, or thicker slabs for specific urban paving projects and monuments.
Our inspectors check each slab for thickness tolerance, polish quality, and uniform color distribution.
Yes, we accommodate pre-shipment inspections by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or other specified inspection companies.
Our minimum order quantity is one full 20ft container (approximately 350-400 sqm of 20mm slabs).
No, granite is highly UV resistant, and the mineral structure does not fade or change color over time.
We use fumigated, heavy-duty timber A-frames secured with steel bands and plastic edge protections.
Since it has a uniform grain structure rather than linear veins, it is not bookmatched but laid for color continuity.
Yes, we provide physical samples sent via international couriers (DHL/FedEx) for project approval.
We recommend a premium solvent-based impregnating sealer designed for dense natural stones.
Flamed or brushed finishes are recommended to ensure proper slip resistance in wet weather.
We process slabs from a single quarry block or contiguous blocks to ensure color and grain consistency.
