Color change and aging for granite facades
In aquivigo we develop permanent chemical treatments on granite, color changes, chemical aging and sealing with silica and alumina.
The color change and aging processes, are achieved by the addition of soluble salts through the capillary network. Thereby, the salts react inside the stone structure, generating color changes in the inside. In aquivigo we can modify the surface color according to the intensity and hue required. Unlike paint, our technique remains translucent after its application, allowing a perfect crystalline definition. There is no superficial coating, therefore the minerals and crystal structure associated with the granite (quartz, feldspar, etc.) remain clear and visible.
After the application, our treatments interact with the stone structure, reaching a stronger and more resistant material.
