Questions about Lavagrigia Basalt
How is it different from black granite?
Black granite usually comes speckled and takes a glossy polish; Lavagrigia, in its photo, keeps an even salt and pepper grain, with no veins. Even closer is Basaltite basalt: in its photo it is a very uniform greenish gray with isolated white specks, while the Lavagrigia slab leans purple and carries some larger white dots.
Does it work for outdoor floors?
Yes: the stone is dense and hard and handles traffic, frost and sun; routine outdoor cleaning takes a brush and water. In matte or brushed it resists slipping in the rain and is used on outdoor floors and facades.
Does Lavagrigia Basalt need sealer?
In the kitchen, yes: stain resistance is medium and sealer is part of caring for the stone. Outside the kitchen, routine care takes water and pH neutral soap; outdoors, a brush and water.
Is the slab in the photo real?
Real: the photo shows a genuine Lavagrigia slab, with the salt and pepper grain and the pores in view. Each slab carries its own pattern. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
