Black Zimbabwe Granite Tiles for Floor and Wall
Price : Contact for price
Black Zimbabwe Granite Tiles are natural granite tiles selected from Zimbabwe black granite quarry areas. The material shows deep charcoal-black base with fine blue-grey mineral points and natural crystalline depth and subtle fine-grain mineral movement, mostly uniform from a distance with natural speckling visible at close range. With density around 2.70 - 2.95 g/cm3, water absorption < 0.22% and compressive strength 180 - 260 MPa, it is suitable for floor tiles, wall cladding, stair.

Product description
Black Zimbabwe Granite Tiles are natural granite tiles developed for projects that need a dark, durable and visually stable stone surface. The selected material is associated with Zimbabwe black granite quarry areas; blocks are selected for compact mineral structure, high density and consistent dark slab output. It presents deep charcoal-black base with fine blue-grey mineral points and natural crystalline depth, making the tile suitable for architectural work where the first impression must match a true black granite appearance rather than an artificial printed surface.
The stone body has high-density African black granite texture with tight interlocking grains and low water absorption. Its visible layout is defined by subtle fine-grain mineral movement, mostly uniform from a distance with natural speckling visible at close range. This combination gives each tile a recognizable material identity while still allowing designers to arrange large floor and wall areas with controlled visual continuity.
Because granite is formed through slow crystallization and geological compression, Black Zimbabwe Granite Tiles provide reliable hardness, compression resistance and long-term dimensional stability. They are recommended for floor tiles, wall cladding, stair covers, exterior paving accents, commercial interiors and durable architectural projects. Sealing is advised for wet zones, food areas and exterior environments to improve stain resistance and simplify maintenance.
Category: Natural Granite Tiles
Color: deep charcoal-black base with fine blue-grey mineral points and natural crystalline depth; each batch should be checked by dry layout before installation because natural black granite may show slight mineral and tone differences.
Surface Finish Available: Honed / Polished / Brushed / Tumbled / Sandblasted / Bush-hammered / Flamed / Leathered
Product Form: Natural Granite Tiles
Texture: high-density African black granite texture with tight interlocking grains and low water absorption. polished finish shows dark reflective depth; flamed or brushed finish improves grip for exterior and semi-outdoor areas.
Density: 2.70 - 2.95 g/cm3 (stable compactness for long-term tile service)
Water Absorption: < 0.22% (sealing treatment recommended according to finish and installation area)
Compressive Strength: 180 - 260 MPa (suitable for normal architectural tile applications)
Abrasion Resistance: excellent surface hardness and abrasion resistance for busy residential and commercial areas
GANGSAW SUITABILITY
Black Zimbabwe Granite Tiles raw blocks are compatible with standard gangsaw processing equipment for slab and tile cutting. The stone features stable internal crystalline structure and practical finished-product yield. Subtle fine-grain mineral movement, mostly uniform from a distance with natural speckling visible at close range help the finished tiles retain a recognizable natural appearance after calibration, edge trimming and surface finishing.
Recommended Processing: Gangsaw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by calibration, edge trimming and honed / polished / brushed / tumbled / flamed surface treatment
Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 76-86 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm thickness)
Polish Result: polished finish shows dark reflective depth; flamed or brushed finish improves grip for exterior and semi-outdoor areas The final surface should be inspected under project lighting to confirm tone, mineral visibility and batch consistency.
