About Bergan
Bergan is a premium granite sourced from Norway, celebrated for its refined aesthetic and durability. This stone presents a distinct grey palette, often ranging from light silver to deeper charcoal tones, with a homogeneous grain that lacks dramatic veining, offering a clean and modern appearance. Its consistent structure makes it an excellent choice for contemporary architectural projects, including cladding, flooring, and countertops. Bergan granite is suitable for a variety of finishes, such as polished, honed, or flamed, allowing for versatile design applications. At Marmi di Carrara, we supply Bergan granite in blocks and slabs with thicknesses of 2 cm and 3 cm, offering cut-to-size solutions and providing high-resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase to ensure complete transparency and confidence for architects and designers seeking reliable Norwegian stone.
Bergan is a grey granite typically characterized by a fine to medium-grained texture and a uniform, consistent crystalline structure.

Finishes for Bergan
Polished
Mirror-like gloss that brings out colour and veining at full depth. The classic choice for walls, tops and interior floors; slippery when wet.
Honed
Smooth and matt, with a soft satin look. Hides small scratches and etching better than a polish and is safer underfoot.
Leathered
A brushed texture on hard stones: matt, lightly textured and very good at hiding fingerprints and water marks on worktops.
Bush-hammered
A rough, pitted surface made with a toothed hammer. Maximum slip resistance for exterior paving, ramps and steps.
Flamed
A thermal finish that makes the crystals burst and leaves a rough, non-slip surface. The standard for exterior granite.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent; hard stones tolerate everyday use very well.
- Sealing is quick and recommended on light colours and on honed, leathered or flamed finishes.
- Avoid waxes and film-forming products that leave a layer on the surface.
- Outdoors, an occasional wash with a pressure cleaner at moderate pressure restores the colour.
- Hot pans, knives and frost are not a problem for most stones of this family; use trivets anyway to protect sealers.
