China Bohus

Origin: China
Material: Natural granite (dense, exterior grade)

China Bohus is a strong red program granite with a stable, commercial look—designed for production where partners need a recognizable warm tone, repeatable output, and reliable performance for outdoor memorial applications.

Visual Character (Color & Pattern)

Tone: Brick red / warm burgundy field with black–dark grey mineral grain (fine to medium).

Pattern activity: Low to medium; generally uniform, reads clean on large faces.

Overall effect: Warm, classic red with a formal, “traditional memorial” presence.

Finishing Behavior

Polished / Gloss: Deepens the red base and increases contrast; delivers a high-end showroom look and best visual clarity on inscription fields.

Honed / Matte (if specified): Calmer, more architectural reading; reduced glare for bases, sides, and large surface areas.

Engraving & Readability

Best results on polished inscription areas for crisp lettering and strong contrast.

Uniform grain supports predictable layout across repeated programs.

Recommended Applications (Memorial / B2B)

Uprights, slants, ledgers, bases, multi-piece memorial sets

A reliable choice for classic red programs and broad-market assortments

Why It Works for Partners (B2B)

High-demand color family: red granites remain consistent sellers in many regions

Program-friendly look: controlled pattern supports repeat orders
