Tell me about the stone
Pompeii Black granite is a stunning dark gray with a unique mottled pattern. Reminiscent of the ancient city, you’ll be transported back to Roman times with this characterful stone. The overall pattern is fairly consistent, with no contrasting veins or crystals. However, just as with many natural stones, no two tiles will ever be the same, a look which man-made materials always attempt to replicate.
Granite is your ideal stone if you’re looking for a hardwearing material to stand up to the wear and tear of family life. This scratch resistant stone is suitable for a wide variety of locations throughout the home, including those that are prone to heavy traffic such as hallway and kitchen flooring. This, combined with its resistance to heat, makes it perfect for work surfaces too. A hot curling iron or mug should be no problem for this sturdy material. So, why not make it part of your bathroom sink or vanity design
Tell me about the tile’s finish
Our Pompeii Black granite tiles come with a flamed finish. This is a slightly rough textured surface that is achieved by firing a hot flame against the stone. The extreme temperatures cause the crystals on the tile’s surface to burst and split, creating this subtly textured stone. The splitting process also mutes the tile’s natural coloring, creating a relaxed blend of charcoal, tan, cream, and black tones.
This is a great option in terms of both durability and functionality. The textured surface provides a slightly rugged look that copes well with wear and tear. Unlike some of the other finishes on the market, a flamed finish does not need regular upkeep to ensure it looks its best. A regular clean should be sufficient.
Furthermore, a flamed finish also affords a great level of traction, making it ideal for flooring both inside the home and out. Wherever an area is prone to dampness, a textured finish is appropriate because of the risk of slipping. The flamed style is the ideal solution to this problem, making it perfect for those with a hectic family lifestyle.
What overall look will I achieve
Pompeii Black granite is great for achieving a relaxed, yet high-end look. It looks great as a kitchen floor with a design that combines both functionality and style. Pair it with dark wooden cupboards and a black granite worktop for a luxurious combination of natural materials.
Alternatively, use it to create a beautiful entrance hall. Combine it with white walls and painted wooden furniture for a look that will never fall out a fashion. Just add a large mirror for contrasting textural elements.
