Fountaine Green is a renowned, compact and extremely durable natural green granite quarried in the stone basins of South Africa. Internationally appreciated in both high-traffic public/commercial architecture and interior design for its extraordinary chromatic homogeneity and mechanical stability, it represents one of the reference green granites for durability and functional elegance.
Visually, it is distinguished by a dense and uniform background matrix in shades of olive green, pine green and dark emerald green, capillarily enriched and embellished with a minute and regular grain size in shades of anthracite black, smoky grey, quartz white and silvery micaceous reflections.
Geologically it is a silicate intrusive magmatic rock (medium-fine textured granite) composed predominantly of quartz, feldspars and micas/chlorite (responsible for the intense green hue). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no carbonate components, it does not react to food or household acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or common detergents) and is not subject to acid attack opacification. It has a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), an almost zero water absorption rate (~0.10%) and exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, frost (total frostiness) and thermal changes.
– heavy-duty kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to their absolute immunity to food acids, direct heat, and mechanical rifling.
– high-traffic flooring and siding: perfect for station, airport, shopping center, business lobby, walkway, and outdoor floors subject to severe frost and heavy wear.
– ventilated facades and exterior cladding: ideal for large-scale civil architecture thanks to total weather stability, UV rays and constant structural strength.
– bathroom and SPA environments: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, infusing an elegant, relaxing and essential atmosphere.
