Basalt Collection
Basalt tiles offer a timeless elegance with their deep black hue and natural volcanic origin. Their sleek surface and durability make them perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces, adding a touch of modern sophistication to any design.
Basalt tile and mosaics—dense, dark gray to black volcanic stone with a fine, even grain and very little veining. Basalt is harder and less porous than marble, which makes it a strong choice for floors, showers, outdoor walls and anywhere a quiet, uniform dark stone is wanted. Finishes run honed, flamed and polished, in field tile, hexagon and linear mosaic formats.
Frequently asked questions
What is basalt tile?
Natural volcanic stone cut into tile and mosaics. It is dark gray to charcoal black, uniform in color, and denser than marble or limestone.
Can basalt tile go outdoors?
Yes. Flamed and honed basalt are used on exterior walls, patios and pool surrounds; the stone is frost-resistant and the flamed finish gives grip.
Does basalt need sealing?
Less than marble, but yes: seal honed and flamed basalt to resist oil and water stains, and re-seal every couple of years in wet or outdoor areas.
Is basalt good for a shower floor?
Honed or flamed basalt mosaics work well on shower floors. Avoid polished finishes underfoot.
Do you sell samples?
Yes. Most items have a sample listing linked from the product page. Colors and glaze variation look different on every screen, so we recommend ordering samples before you buy by the box.
How fast does it ship?
Orders ship in 2–3 business days from our US warehouses. Boxed tile ships by ground or LTL freight depending on weight; samples ship by parcel.
