Alaska Red in detail
About Alaska Red
Alaska Red is a hard-wearing Indian granite. Its structure is crystalline rather than layered, which is why it resists chipping along an edge far better than a softer stone. The warm red ground is a statement. It is chosen where the stone is meant to be noticed rather than to recede.
Because it absorbs so little water, Alaska Red performs where softer stones fail: exterior cladding, plinths, staircases and paving that go through a full weather cycle every year. Indoors, the same density is what lets a polished worktop shrug off a hot pan.
Formats for Alaska Red include gangsaw slabs, cutter slabs, tiles and countertops, at 15 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm. Tell us the finish, the thickness and the destination port and we will confirm availability, packing detail and a quotation within one business day.
Frequently asked
What sizes and thicknesses does Alaska Red come in?

Which finishes are available?
We supply Alaska Red in Polished, Honed, Flamed, Leathered, Brushed, Bush Hammered and Sandblasted. The right one depends on the application u2014 tell us where the stone is going and we will recommend rather than guess.
What is Alaska Red best used for?
It is commonly specified for flooring, wall cladding, kitchen countertops, staircases, exterior facades and monuments. If your application is not on that list, ask u2014 the answer is often yes, with the right finish.
Does Alaska Red vary between slabs?
Yes. Alaska Red is a natural stone, so grain, colour density and pattern vary from block to block and even across a single slab. We shade-grade every order so what ships together looks like it belongs together, and we can send photographs of your actual lot before it leaves.
Can Alaska Red be used outdoors?
Yes. Low water absorption and high compressive strength make Alaska Red suitable for facades, plinths, paving and external staircases. Specify a flamed, bush-hammered or sandblasted finish for anything walked on, so the surface stays grippy when wet.
How much maintenance does it need?
Granite needs very little. Clean with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner, and re-seal a polished worktop every year or two depending on use. Avoid abrasive powders, which dull the polish over time.
Where is Alaska Red quarried?
Quarry origin for this shade is confirmed at enquiry stage u2014 ask the export desk and we will tell you exactly where the block comes from.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We send physical samples of any shade in the catalogue before you commit, and for larger orders we will photograph the actual slabs allocated to you prior to crating.
How is it packed for export?
Film wrapping, EPE foam between every surface, edge and corner protection, then heat-treated fumigated timber crates on moisture-resistant pallets. Loading is supervised and photographed before the container is sealed.
