What Is Absolute Black Granite?
Black absoluto granite is a fine-grained natural stone quarried primarily in India. It has a deep, uniform black color with little patterning. This creates a clean and dramatic look that fits well in both modern and traditional spaces. Its consistent appearance makes it ideal for countertops, backsplashes, flooring, and accent walls.
• Polished Finish: High-gloss and reflective, ideal for modern and luxurious spaces.
• Honed Finish: Smooth but matte, offering a softer, more understated elegance.
• Leathered Finish: Textured and tactile, perfect for rustic or industrial designs.
FLAMED BLACK GRANITE
A flame finish on granite countertops is a special treatment. It uses a high-temperature torch to expose the granite to intense heat. This makes the surface crystals burst, giving it a rough, textured look.
This process is usually applied to tougher granites. It creates a non-slip, matte surface. This finish is perfect for outdoor use or places where traction matters.
• Great for exterior use due to its slip-resistant texture.
• Hides fingerprints, smudges, and minor surface imperfections.
• Adds a unique, natural aesthetic to stone surfaces.
Key Characteristics of Flame-Finished Granite:
• Textured Surface: Unlike polished or honed finishes, flame-finished granite has a coarse, natural feel.
​
• Slip Resistance: Excellent for outdoor kitchens, patios, and pool surrounds.
​
• Rustic Appearance: Offers a rugged, organic look that pairs well with natural landscapes and earthy design elements.
• Color Variation: The flaming process can slightly alter the stone’s color, often making it appear lighter or more muted.
