Where is Kahoo granite quarried and what gives it its characteristic green colour?
Kahoo granite is quarried near Birjand in South Khorasan Province, Iran. Its light to medium green groundmass comes naturally from chlorite, epidote, serpentine, and feldspar minerals within its composition, accented by fine white veining and occasional yellow or grey halos.
How does Kahoo granite compare to Birjand Forest Green granite in appearance and finishing?
Kahoo granite features a lighter, more uniform green background with white and subtle yellow accents, whereas Forest Green granite presents a darker green base with bold yellow and lemon-coloured veining. While Forest Green is typically polished to highlight depth, Kahoo granite works exceptionally well with honed and leather finishes for a restrained, contemporary aesthetic.
What technical properties make Kahoo granite suitable for high-traffic commercial flooring?
Kahoo granite forms a dense, interlocking crystalline structure that provides high compressive strength and excellent abrasion resistance. Its compact composition withstands heavy foot traffic, household acids, and chemical cleaning agents in areas like office lobbies, corridors, and parking zones.
What installation method is required when using Kahoo granite for exterior wall cladding?
Exterior cladding requires mechanical fixing alongside mortar bedding because of the granite's high density and dead load. Structural calculations must account for the stone's weight to ensure long-term exterior stability, and inspecting full slabs beforehand helps verify colour uniformity.
What quality factors determine the grading and price of Kahoo granite?
Grading depends mainly on overall colour consistency and the prevalence of white veining, locally known as shali sefid. Slabs with uniform green tones and fewer white veins qualify for higher grades such as Super and Grade 1; check the current listing or submit an inquiry for custom cut-to-size orders.
In which formats and surface finishes is Kahoo granite supplied?
Kahoo granite is available in tiles, slabs, and cut-to-size pieces across polished, leather, honed, and flamed finishes. Polishing enhances the stone's green depth, while flamed, honed, and leather textures offer tactile grip for stairs, exterior paving, and modern minimalist facades.
