The broad range of basalt tiles available from RMS Natural Stone are suitable for use in residential and commercial building applications.
Basalt is categorized as a lavatic stone as it can be re-traced to volcanic origins and is quarried for conversion into tiles and slabs. Its unique structure and its remarkable uniformity are a result of the gases that escape during the cooling process.
Basalt is probably best known in the form of cobblestone paving of roads and pathways. Basalt has recently seen a revival of sorts in the redevelopment of residential streets and pedestrians malls.
Basalt tiles are attractive whether they are polished or honed and are mainly for use outdoors as cladding.
