FAQ

What makes Black Basalt Tile – Flamed & Water-jet different from the polished version?

This version combines a flamed, matte, slip-resistant surface with precision water-jet-cut edges, while the polished version offers a smooth, glossy, reflective surface instead. The flamed and water-jet finish suits both interior and exterior applications, while the polished version is better reserved for interior use.


Is this tile suitable for exterior use, unlike the polished black basalt tile?

Yes. Thanks to its textured flamed surface and frost resistance, this tile is well suited to exterior paving, patios, pathways, and pool surrounds in addition to interior flooring and wall cladding — a use case the smoother polished version isn't recommended for.


What is the benefit of water-jet cut edges specifically?

Water-jet cutting produces exact, clean edges with minimal chipping, allowing tiles to be installed with tighter, more seamless joints than a standard saw-cut edge. This is especially valuable for large-format tile installations where joint consistency affects the overall finished look.


How slip-resistant is the flamed finish for pool surrounds?

The flamed finish creates a naturally textured, slip-resistant surface that performs reliably even when wet, making it a strong choice for pool surrounds and other consistently wet exterior areas. This is a key reason it's recommended over the polished finish for those applications.


How durable is this tile for high-traffic exterior applications?

With compressive strength of 280–380 MPa and water absorption of just 0.1–0.2%, this tile offers excellent frost resistance and durability for exterior paving, patios, and pathways exposed to heavy foot traffic and seasonal weather changes.
