Granite Stretcher

A seamless stone texture with granite arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 2420 x 1827 mm (95.3 x 71.9 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 600 x 300 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

Granite is a stone product widely used in architectural interiors and facades. It is regarded as one of the most durable, robust materials within the construction industry, whose use dates back to Ancient Egypt. Granite is available in a range of colours including pink, gold, grey and black, depending on the mineral properties of each slab. It can be applied to internal finishes such as kitchen countertops and furniture, as well as cladding for external facades and public sculptures.

This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
