Surface Finishes to Match Your Style
The stone's dramatic character is enhanced by a choice of expert finishes.
- Polished Gloss: Creates a brilliant, reflective surface that amplifies light and highlights the deep black background with contrasting white and gray veining.
- Honed/Matte Finish: Delivers a smooth, velvety texture with a soft sheen, perfect for an understated contemporary or rustic aesthetic.
- Textured Options: Includes split-face, tumbled, fluted, or sandblasted finishes that add captivating visual depth and a unique tactile quality.
This sophisticated surface treatment achieves a highly sought-after appearance that rivals engineered alternatives.
Customization for a Professional Installation
Go beyond the standard tile with details that ensure a flawless finish.
Edge Profile Selection:
Choose from beveled, ogee, bullnose (including laminate bullnose), or mitered edges. These profiles provide clean transitions at corners and seamless junctions with other materials like cabinetry or metal accents.
Design Flexibility & Practical Strength:
The substantial thickness is not only an aesthetic choice but also a practical one. It provides inherent strength and rigidity, making the material more forgiving during installation on surfaces that may have minor imperfections. This robustness ensures longevity and the authentic feel of solid stone.
Practical Solutions for Real-World Installations
We understand that walls are not always perfectly plumb or square. Our product is designed to help achieve beautiful results in real-world conditions.
Why Thickness Matters:
The robust construction offers greater resistance to flexing and allows for minor adjustments during leveling, helping to compensate for small discrepancies in the substrate.
Recommended Installation Strategies:
- Conduct a Dry Layout: Always dry-fit tiles before applying adhesive to plan the arrangement and identify any necessary cuts.
- Center Your Design: Begin tiling from the visual center of the wall outward. This helps distribute any size variations evenly towards the less conspicuous edges.
- Utilize Strategic Cutting: The stone cuts cleanly, allowing for tapered cuts to accommodate walls out of plumb. Using smaller filler pieces for final rows is often more effective than forcing full tiles.
- Employ Leveling Systems: Use modern leveling spacers and clips designed for large-format tiles to help create a uniform plane across the installation.
- Consider Grout Line Width: Slightly adjusting grout joint width within a consistent range can help absorb minor measurement variances over long runs.
- Seek Expert Advice: For significant irregularities, consulting with an experienced stone installer is recommended for optimal results.
