Kapustinsky granite (Rosso Santiago)

Kapustinsky Granite Rosso Santiago: Ukrainian Power in Red Stone | Granum Factory

The Granum Factory, as a leading manufacturer of granite products in Ukraine, proudly presents in its granite catalog one of the most iconic materials – Kapustinsky Granite Rosso Santiago. This natural stone, mined by our company since 1960 in the Kirovohrad region, has become synonymous with quality and durability. To buy granite of this particular brand is to invest in a material with a century-long history.

Our granite production is focused on a full cycle. Control begins at the quarry near the village of Kamiany Mist, where we select the highest quality granite masses. The stone then goes to our factory, where modern equipment allows for precise cutting, grinding, polishing, and other types of processing. This comprehensive approach, from extraction to the finished product, allows us to offer customers granite directly from the manufacturer at the best price, without intermediaries.

Deep Uniqueness: Origin and Visual Appeal

The origin of the stone directly affects its character. Kapustinsky Granite was formed over millions of years, giving it unique density and strength. Its rich red-brown color with a warm orange tint is the result of a high content of iron oxides in the rock. Black and gray inclusions that form a lively, dynamic pattern are specks of biotite and other minerals. The medium-grained structure makes the surface refined yet clearly defined, which is especially valued in architecture and design.

The extraction process is the first critical step in creating a quality product. We use modern wire sawing and controlled blasting technologies to minimize the formation of microcracks in the monolith. After extraction, huge granite blocks are carefully inspected, marked, and transported to our plant for further processing. This attention to detail at the initial stage guarantees that every subsequent granite slab or product will have stable characteristics.

The Scientific Basis of Durability: Technical Specifications

The strength and durability of Kapustinsky Granite are not just words, but specific figures confirmed by laboratory tests. These parameters determine where and how the stone can be used most effectively.

• Bulk Density (2850 kg/m³): Indicates high material density, which is the basis for its resistance to mechanical damage.
• Compressive Strength (120 MPa): This high figure allows granite to be used not only for cladding but also as a load-bearing element in critical structures.
• Abrasion Resistance (0.32 g/cm²): An extremely low coefficient makes this material ideal for high-traffic areas, particularly for granite paving stones in central squares.

Critically important for the climate of Ukraine is the water absorption index, which is only 0.13%. This means that the stone practically does not absorb moisture, and therefore does not deteriorate during numerous freeze-thaw cycles. As for safety, the natural radiation level of the material corresponds to Class 1, which allows it to be used even inside residential premises for making granite countertops or granite window sills without any restrictions.

Main Areas of Application for Kapustinsky Granite

The versatility of physical and chemical properties opens up a wide range of applications for this Ukrainian granite. Our production of granite products covers all these areas.

Urban Improvement and Public Spaces

The main product here is granite paving stones and granite sidewalk tiles. The manufacturing process begins with cutting blocks into slabs, which are then cut into blanks of the required thickness. Then, various types of edge processing are applied: split (for classic paving stones), sawn (for even joining), or tumbled (with rounded edges).

• Split Granite Paving Stones: Creates an authentic, historical coating with a natural relief.
• Sawn Granite Tiles: Ideal for modern squares and sidewalks, provides a smooth, comfortable walking surface.
• Granite Curbstone: Completes the composition, protects the boundaries of the coating, and gives an aesthetically finished look.

Architectural and Construction Works

For cladding facades and plinths, we manufacture granite slabs of various thicknesses and formats. Work steps include cutting, thermal hardening to increase wear resistance, grinding, or polishing. Also, Kapustinsky Granite is an excellent material for granite stairs. The production of steps requires high cutting accuracy, processing of anti-slip "blinded" or "calibrated" profiles on the front edge, as well as reliable fastening.

Memorial Culture

The deep, noble color and age-old durability make this granite one of the most sought-after for making granite monuments. Working on a monument is a high-tech and at the same time artistic process. After cutting, the block is profiled, polished to a mirror shine, or sandblasted for a matte effect. Then, engraving of text and ornaments is performed on special CNC machines with diamond cutters.

• Single and double granite monuments.
• Gravestones with various types of surface finishes.
• Components: granite vases, flower beds, crosses, benches.

Interior Finishing

Inside premises, Kapustinsky Granite is used in the form of practical and luxurious elements. The production of a granite countertop for the kitchen is a process that requires high precision in cutting, edge processing (bevel, ogee, straight edge), and sink integration. Similarly, granite window sills are manufactured, which are not afraid of moisture and sun.

Stages of Cooperation with the Granum Factory

To order granite or custom-made granite products, the client goes through several simple steps, each accompanied by our specialists.

1. Consultation and Measurements: Together with the client, we determine the type of product, required volume, and processing method. For complex projects, our measurer visits the site.
2. Agreement and Calculation: Based on the discussed details, we make an accurate calculation of the material quantity, form a technical task, and provide a commercial offer.
3. Production: After signing the contract and an advance payment, the material is launched into work. Each stage is controlled by the site foreman.
4. Delivery and Installation: We organize the delivery of finished products across Ukraine. At the client's request, we provide professional installation services by our teams.
