Description

Black/grey granite tiles measuring 400x400x30mm with flamed surface finish. This natural igneous stone features exceptional durability with compressive strength of 150-200 MPa and minimal water absorption (0.2-0.4%). The flamed finish is achieved through high-temperature flame treatment creating a rough, non-slip surface ideal for outdoor paving, pool surrounds, and high-traffic areas. Suitable for all Australian climate zones and BAL ratings.

Granite has been used in construction for millennia, with flame-finishing techniques developed in the 20th century to enhance slip resistance. Modern flaming uses oxy-acetylene torches reaching 2000°C to create controlled surface texturing. This finish became popular in Australia during the 1980s for public spaces and continues to be specified for premium exterior applications requiring durability and safety.
