🪨 Geological Profile
Rosa El Nasr Granite is a premium Egyptian stone quarried from Aswan, formed deep within the Earth’s crust through the slow crystallization of silica-rich magma. As one of the most common intrusive igneous rocks in the continental crust, Egyptian granite is composed of three primary minerals: feldspar, quartz, and mica—appearing as either dark biotite, silvery muscovite, or both. Its medium to coarse grain structure and natural resilience make it ideal for both structural and decorative applications.
Rosa El Nasr is especially admired for its elegant pink coloration, ranging from soft rose to deeper pink tones, often accented by white and grey mineral veining. This visual richness, combined with its durability, makes it a preferred choice for interior and exterior design.

🔨 Installation Overview
Rosa El Nasr Granite is known for its ease of installation when proper procedures are followed. Below is a step-by-step guide for flooring applications:
1. Subfloor Preparation
• Level the subfloor to ensure a smooth surface.
• Remove paint, sealants, and debris using sandpaper or appropriate tools.
• Fill all cracks and holes, especially when installing over concrete.
• Remove old tiles completely if replacing existing flooring.
2. Tile Layout
• Ensure all granite tiles have precise 90° corners.
• Use tile spacers to maintain uniform gaps and assist with layout in larger rooms.
3. Mortar Mixing & Application
• Mix mortar using 1 part cement to 5 parts sand with water until consistent.
• Apply mortar with a 6–8 mm notched trowel for optimal adhesion.
4. Tile Installation
• Place tiles firmly onto the mortar bed using plastic spacers for alignment.
• Press tiles into position and tap gently with a rubber mallet to eliminate air gaps.
5. Grouting
• Apply grout between tiles to ensure a strong bond.
• Mix grout in small batches and use within 15–20 minutes.
• Allow grout to cure before cleaning the surface.
6. Cleaning & Sealing
• Clean the surface with warm water and a sponge to remove dust and residue.
• Dark-colored granite typically does not require sealing.
• Light-colored granite may benefit from sealing to enhance shine and protect the surface.
