What makes Soho Granite the premium option among your black granite treads?
Soho Granite has the highest compressive strength (300–350 MPa) and lowest water absorption (0.01–0.16%) of our granite tread range, alongside notable heat and stain resistance. Its near-imperceptible grain creates a sleek, minimalist black surface trusted by architects for demanding, high-end projects.
Is Soho Granite suitable for both interior and exterior staircases?
Yes. Soho Granite performs equally well indoors and outdoors, backed by frost resistance, acid resistance, and heat resistance uncommon even among other black granites. This versatility makes it a strong choice for projects that need one consistent material across multiple applications.
What finish options are available for Soho Granite treads?
Soho Granite offers the widest finish range in our tread collection: polished, flamed, honed, bush-hammered, brushed, and leathered. Flamed or bush-hammered are recommended for exterior stair applications where slip resistance is the priority, while polished suits interior showcase staircases.
Does Soho Granite fade or show wear over time?
No. Soho Granite maintains a deep, uniform black color with outstanding resistance to wear, heat, and staining, even under sustained high-traffic use. This consistency is a major reason it's specified for prestige commercial and residential projects worldwide.
Why is Soho Granite priced at a premium compared to other black granite treads?
Soho Granite's exceptional compressive strength, near-zero water absorption, and expanded finish range, including leather and brushed options, reflect a denser, more refined stone than typical black granite. For projects prioritizing maximum performance and a flawless finish, that premium reflects real material differences.
