As its name suggests, the American Silver Cloud granite is reminiscent of a silver colored cloud, with a bright base tone and silvery, strongly dynamic veins. It can be cross cut or vein cut to achieve different patterns: clouded or longitudinally flowing. Thanks to its excellent technical properties, this hard stone is suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. Its acid resistance and hardness, allow the application of Silver Cloud also as a perfect kitchen countertop. The constant base tone and the imperceptible color and structure variation from block to block make Silver Cloud ideal for large-area applications such as facades and floors.

Depending on the chosen finish, the material shows different surface structures ; from smooth, over silky to rough.
The various finishes influence also the color of the material: for example polished slabs show more contrast between lighter and darker veins, whereas the sandblasted finish lends the material a much lighter appearance and the difference between light and dark veins diminishes.
