Basalt Tile: Natural Depth, Contemporary Appeal

Our stunning basalt tile collection is inspired by the natural strength and beauty of authentic basalt. Designed from porcelain, these wall and flooring tiles possess incredible strength required for indoor and outdoor applications. Our curated selection is rated for both residential and commercial settings, ensuring spaces are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.

Porcelain basalt stone tile mimics the texture and subtle color variation of natural basalt, but is far more practical for today’s modern homes. These wall and floor coverings are highly durable and resistant to water, stains, and scratches. Simply put, they can withstand high food traffic and the pressures of everyday life.

Whether you want to create a modern kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, or turn the patio into a true alfresco area, basalt tile brings you the best combination of both elegance and durability.

Why Select Basalt Wall & Floor Tiles?

Basalt tiles are all the rage, bringing lasting flair and resilience to rooms big and small. Below are just a few benefits of our collection:

1. Timeless Appeal

The tiles offer a stately color palette, ranging from slate to charcoal black. Their timeless allure complements different styles of interiors, including traditional, contemporary, and industrial.

2. Slip-Resistant Finish

Our basalt tiles come in a matte finish, which gives them an understated look. Dirt or smudge marks are less noticeable, and they provide improved slip-resistance in high foot traffic and wet areas.

3. Durable & Tough

Since these tiles are made of porcelain, they are robust and moisture-resistant. These qualities make them an ideal fit for kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.

4. Diverse Applications

Basalt tiles have the strength to withstand changing outdoor temperatures, making some of our offerings great for exterior applications. Whether it’s patio flooring or pool deck, expect an excellent finish that stands the test of time.

5. Effortless Maintenance

Unlike natural stone, basalt look tile is non-porous and does not have to be sealed. Minimal effort is required to keep tilework renewed and pristine.

Stunning Basalt Tile Available in Different Formats

The dark color palette of basalt porcelain tiles allows you to design an environment that suits your desired aesthetic. They can promote a sense of harmony and elegance, or evoke a dramatic yet intimate ambiance, making it possible to integrate into minimalistic or eclectic settings.

1. Slate Black & Charcoal Color Options

Black tile gives a space a dramatic look that adds character. This deep, rich shade is best for contemporary or high-end decor themes, since it creates an interesting contrast that pops when matched with lightly colored furnishings. It can be used effectively in living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Like black, charcoal tile is suitable for many interior styles. It makes its presence known, working well with both light and dark furnishings. Charcoal basalt look tile, like Slate Black 24x48 Matte Porcelain Large Format Tile,  is an excellent option for homeowners who want vertical surfaces that make a statement without detracting from the room’s other design elements.

2. Basalt Tile Size Options

The size of the tiles also greatly determines the aesthetic of the space being designed. Basalt tiles are available in a variety of sizes to ensure that you choose one that fits your project.

The 9x11 tile size is the best size to use when you have unique room layouts or want to create a feature wall where details can be emphasized. Large format 24x48 and 12x24 tile lend a seamless contemporary visual with less visible grout lines.

12x12 mosaic tiles come with a mesh backing for an easy fit in tight corners and over curved surfaces. For instance, Slate Black 12x12 Matte Uniform Square Porcelain Mosaic Tile works perfectly when looking to introduce detail around the fireplace, kitchen backsplash, shower surrounds, or pool interiors.

3. Basalt Tile Shapes & Designs

Basalt floor tile is available in a variety of shapes and designs. This makes several combinations possible, depending on the style you’re going for. Find tiles in square, rectangle, and hexagon, all with unique character suitable for both residential or commercial interiors.
