Please click on image to enlargen, this is an average sample only. Your monitor settings may affect appearance. 
Description: New Kashmir White Granite is a fine to medium-grained, dark white to light grey, migmatitic granulite of the Precambrian period, with blackberry-coloured garnets. This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite but in the area of application of the European Standard this stone must be nominated as a granulite. The veining and colour varies considerably and a small sample of New Kashmir White granite may not be representative of the whole slab therefore swatch samples must be approved for large projects to ensure that the blocks are all extracted from the same quarry face for matching purposes. During the polishing process a clear epoxy resin filler may be used to fill any micro fissures or tiny pitting however this does not affect the integrity of the stone, it merely provides an even smoother surface finish. New Kashmir White Granite is suitable for both interior and exterior use futhermore is frost resistant and with a constant polish. It must be noted that New Kashmir White granite colour and veining can vary enormously, mixing slab sources from different suppliers will be very evident. The white colour can vary from light to medium grey likewise veining can vary from slight to extremely heavy. Products: Suitable for construction projects both commercial and domestic, prefabricated countertops/worktops, vanities, tiles, backsplashes, paving, fireplaces and memorials.
Premium Quality Slab Sizes 2 & 3cm
Standard Slab Sizes 2 & 3cm
Granite Countertops 2 & 3cm
Memorial/Monumental Slabs Calibrated Tiles: Standard sizes available are: 305 x 305 x 10 mm (12" x 12" x 3/8") More granite tile and production information. Surface Finish: New Kashmir White granite looks best with a gloss polished surface but is also available as honed, leather/satin, river-washed/antique, thermal/flamed, brushed and sandblast finish. We never use colour enhancers. Sealing: Test with a small sample. It is probable that a sealant can be used on New Kashmir White granite however excessive attempts at sealing it could actually create a residue film build-up. Block Sizes: These are quarries yielding yielding several, selectable, grades of granite with blocks suitable for gangsaw size down to economical tile-sized and monument blocks. Extraction commenced in the ear;y 2000s. For commercial projects it is important to ensure that blocks are selected from the same quarry face. Rough blocks are usually exported by Break Bulk however intermodal containerisation is available at extra cost. Finished products are packed into sea-worthy wooden crates and loaded into containers. Quarry Location: New Kashmir White granite is quarried near Melur, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. There are several quarries of New Kashmir White and the veining and colour varies considerably, a small sample is not representative of the whole slab.

They are medium to coarse-grained and mainly composed of feldspars sometimes associated with quartz and anhydrous ferromagnesian minerals, with granoblastic texture and gneissose to massive structure.
The granulites are very closely allied to the gneisses, as they consist of nearly the same minerals, but they are finer-grained, have usually less perfect foliation, are more frequently garnetiferous, and have some special features of microscopic structure. Mineral Composition: Average by % Technical Specifications Compression Tensile Strength: 2080 kg/cm2 Tensile Strength After Freeze-Thaw Cycles: 1990 kg/cm2 Unitary Modulus Of Bending Tensile Strength: 132 kg/cm2 Heat expansion coefficient: 0.0065 mm/mC Water Imbibition Coefficient: 0.004000 Mass By Unit Of Volume: 2620 kg/m3 Hardness (Moh's Scale): Note: These figures and details are given for guidance purposes only, no reliance should be taken as to their accuracy.
