Basalt is a highly durable stone, regularly used for high-traffic areas of the home. Once sealed, it is relatively moisture resistant, making it ideal for use throughout the interior, as well as for exterior uses. Like Granite, Basalt is an igneous rock created by hot magma bubbling up from deep under the earth's crust. Once it has surfaced, it rapidly cools creating a solid rock. It has a consistent color throughout the stone, with no contrasting veins or large crystals to break the uniformity. Tell me about the tile's finish This tile comes with a flamed and brushed finish. It is ground down to a smooth level and then blasted with a high-temperature flame. This causes the surface of the tile to crackle and burst. The effect is a soft-toned coloring. The tile is then brushed to simulate the effect of wear and tear, giving the stone an authentic 'aged' look. What overall look will I achieve? A Dark Basalt with a flamed and brushed finish creates a natural looking interior. Everything about the stone is subtle and classy, from its soft gray color tone and mid-sized grain to speckled and aged finish. There are no harsh lines or colors that will clash with your interior. Dark Basalt creates the perfect base to build your design upon. If you're looking for a stone that will be on-trend for decades, requiring minimal maintenance along the way, this tile is ideal. For a sophisticated and simplistic design, team it with crisp white walls, luscious foliage, and earthy, rugged materials such as concrete and wood.
