�� Part 3: Geological & Historical Significance
Granite, derived from the Latin word granum (meaning "grain"), is an igneous rock formed through the slow crystallisation of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It is the second hardest natural material after diamond and is known for its coarse-grained texture and exceptional durability.
Geological Profile:
Composed primarily of feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole
Color variations depend on mineral composition—ranging from white and pink to grey and black
Structurally massive and resistant to weathering, abrasion, and load-bearing stress

Egyptian Legacy:
Egyptian granite has been used since the time of the pharaohs, prized for its hardness and rich coloration. It played a central role in the creation of statues, monuments, and architectural marvels. Today, it continues to symbolise luxury and strength in modern construction.
Black Aswan stands as a testament to this legacy—combining ancient heritage with contemporary design standards.

🧱 Part 3: Installation Guidelines
Installing Black Aswan Granite is a straightforward process when following best practices.
Below is a step-by-step guide to ensure optimal results:

1. Subfloor Preparation
• Ensure the subfloor is level, clean, and free of debris
• Fill and seal any cracks to prevent structural weaknesses
• Avoid overlaying antique tiles without proper bonding treatment

2. Tile Layout
• Use tile spacers to maintain consistent alignment
• Ensure each tile has a precise 90° corner for accurate placement

3. Mortar Mixing & Application
• Recommended mix: 1 part cement to 5 parts sand, blended with water
• Apply mortar with a trowel to achieve a 6–8 mm thickness

4. Tile Installation
• Position tiles using spacers for uniform spacing
• Press tiles firmly into place, tapping gently with a rubber mallet to eliminate voids

5. Grouting
• Apply grout between tiles to secure joints
• Allow grout to cure fully before cleaning; use within 15–20 minutes of mixing

6. Cleaning & Sealing
• Clean tiles with warm water and a sponge
• Dark granite typically does not require sealing, but lighter tones may benefit from it to enhance surface sheen and protection
Once installed, Black Aswan Granite delivers a durable, low-maintenance surface ready for long-term use in any setting.
