Designed for indoor environments, the series is fabricated to your specific dimensions, ensuring a seamless fit for complex architectural layouts. The finish replicates the granular mineral depth of authentic stone, offering a durable and UV-stable surface suitable for the GCC's demanding interior climates.

Finish

The texture features a refined, granular matte surface that mimics natural igneous rock. Under ambient lighting, the finish exhibits a subtle mineral shimmer without high-gloss glare.

Maintenance

Maintain the surface using a soft, damp microfiber cloth and pH-neutral detergents. Avoid the use of abrasive scouring pads or harsh acidic cleaners which may alter the textured profile. For high-traffic commercial zones, regular dusting is recommended to preserve the depth of the granite effect and prevent particulate buildup in the textured recesses.

Frequently asked questions

What are the maximum dimensions available for the PSF015 series?
As an IHGIND product, the Castelo De Areia series is fabricated 'as per requirement' at our Jebel Ali plant. We specialize in large-format panels that exceed standard tile sizes, allowing architects to specify custom heights and widths that minimize visible joints. This bespoke approach ensures that the granite effect wall tile integrates perfectly with your specific interior substrate and architectural design, providing a monolithic natural stone look across expansive surfaces.
Is the granite cladding finish suitable for high-moisture indoor areas?
Yes, our granite finish tiles are engineered for durability in various indoor environments. While primarily designed for dry feature walls and lobbies, the specialized coating used in the PSF015 series offers excellent resistance to humidity, making it suitable for well-ventilated washroom vanity backdrops and spa reception areas. For specific wet-room applications, we recommend consulting our technical team to ensure the appropriate substrate sealing and installation methods are utilized.
How does the installation of Prastara granite finish compare to natural stone?
The Castelo De Areia series is significantly lighter than natural granite slabs, which reduces the structural reinforcement required for wall mounting. Our panels can be installed using standard high-strength adhesives or mechanical fixing systems depending on the project scale. This results in faster installation timelines and lower labor costs on-site in the UAE, while still achieving the prestigious aesthetic of a natural stone look for your interior project.
