  • Products Description

     

    Black basalt slabs are a solid choice if you're looking for something strong, simple, and modern.

     

    Basalt is a volcanic stone-formed from rapidly cooled lava-which makes it naturally dense and hard-wearing. These slabs come in a deep grey to true black tone with a fine, even texture. They look clean and minimalist, whether used indoors or outside.

    Why Choose Black Basalt?

     

     

    1. Durability – High compressive strength and low water absorption

     

    2. Consistent Color – Dark, uniform tone with minimal variation

     

    3. Slip Resistance – Especially with flamed or bush-hammered surfaces

     

    4. Low Maintenance – Easy to clean, less prone to staining when sealed

     

    5. Design Flexibility – Pairs well with metal, wood, or lighter stones

     

     

    Application

     

    • Outdoor patios and walkways
    • Pool surrounds and terraces
    • Modern architecture facades
    • Indoor flooring in commercial or high-traffic spaces
    • Stair treads, countertops, or wall caps

     

    How to Install Black Basalt Slabs on a Wall

     

    1. Prepare the Surface

    Make sure the wall is:

    Flat and clean

    Dry and free from dust, oil, or loose material

    Strong enough to hold the weight of stone (especially for large slabs)

    For exterior walls, check the structure for load-bearing capacity.

    2. Choose the Right Adhesive or Anchoring Method

    Depending on the slab size and installation height:

    Use stone tile adhesive (cement-based or epoxy) for small to medium slabs

    For heavy or high wall installations, add mechanical anchors for extra support

    For outdoor or high-moisture areas, use waterproof, weather-resistant adhesive

    3. Back-Butter the Slabs

    Apply adhesive not just to the wall, but also to the back of each slab. This ensures full contact and reduces the risk of hollow spots or detachment.

    4. Position and Level

    Start from the bottom row and work upward

    Use spacers or temporary supports to keep the slabs aligned

    Always check for level and plumb

    For seamless finishes, keep joint gaps tight (or customize to your design)

    5. Grout and Seal

    After the adhesive sets, fill joints with matching grout if needed

    Once fully dry (usually after 24–48 hours), apply stone sealer to protect from water, stains, and UV

    6. Clean Up

    Wipe off any remaining grout or adhesive from the surface. Use a soft cloth or stone-safe cleaner-avoid harsh chemicals.

    Testing data

    Water Absorption

    0.18%

    Density

    Tips

     

    Basalt is naturally strong, but like most stones, sealing it helps protect against moisture and keeps the color richer over time-especially in outdoor or wet areas.
