Black Basalt 18X36 Flamed/Brushed Tile

The Black Basalt 18×36 Flamed and Brushed Tile combines the drama of large-format stone with a finish designed for serious outdoor use. Flaming roughens the surface by exposing the stone to extreme heat, creating a naturally textured face with excellent grip — the brushing step that follows softens the finish just enough to make it comfortable underfoot without compromising traction. In black basalt, this process adds visual depth: the flamed surface picks up light differently across its textured face, revealing gradations between deep black and dark grey that aren’t as apparent in honed tiles. At 18×36, this tile is well suited to large outdoor terraces, commercial plazas, entrance walkways, and pool decks where coverage, performance, and presence all matter. Basalt is highly resistant to freeze-thaw cycles and daily wear — this finish takes that durability and adds a surface that stays safe even when wet.
