Basalt Tiles Surface Finishes

You can select from a wide variety of finishes when you buy your basalt tiles from Stone & Tile Shoppe:

Honed: A silky smooth honed finish is created by grinding down the stone to remove its top layer, revealing a satin, matte finish. A honed finish will ensure that your tile is slip-resistant and has sufficient traction while providing the durability you need for kitchen and bathroom flooring.

Brushed: A matte, naturally worn-down effect is created by sweeping the stone with a wire brush. This provides you with a low-maintenance tile that is easy to clean and fairly slip-resistant, making it ideal for use in kitchens or hallways.

Chiseled: Relatively flat and with a riven surface, chiseled basalt tiles have horizontal grooves across the stone for a beautifully textured and rugged look. The rough surface is slip resistant and durable while providing a great design feature for your accent walls and backsplashes.

Flamed and waterjet: One of the most popular finishes for basalt tiles, a flamed and waterjet effect provides a slightly textured, soft-toned basalt with softly highlighted tones of coppery red and grey. The finish is not worn down over time or slippery underfoot, so it's ideal for use in areas of your home with a high footfall, like the kitchen or hallway.
