Cast Basalt Plate
Durable cast basalt plates, ideal for applications requiring high wear resistance.
Cast basalt floor tiles are high-performance wear resistant tiles designed for industrial flooring, offering excellent protection against abrasion, impact and chemical corrosion.
Cast basalt floor tiles are produced by melting natural basalt rock at high temperature and casting it into dense, microcrystalline tile shapes. After controlled cooling and crystallization, the material becomes extremely hard and wear resistant.
These tiles are commonly used to protect industrial floors that are exposed to continuous abrasion from bulk materials, heavy equipment, and aggressive chemical environments.
Basalt is one of the hardest natural materials known to man and is renowned worldwide for its longevity. Basalt, as a neovolcanic rock is smelted in the gas furnace at around 1280° C and cast into metallic or sand moulds at a temperature of around 1200° C. The cast basalt tiles are annealed in a furnace for approximately 16 to 21 hours to achieve the uniform crystalline structure that gives our finished tiles superior long-term performance and their unique appearance.
We offer a large range of shapes and sizes – this catalogue contains many of our most popular types. Given minimum production quantities and enough lead-time, we will make special moulds to your dimensions and patterns. Call us for for assistance with custom designs.
Cast Basalt tiles are made in hard-metric sizes.
Cast Basalt Tiles are naturally black with some tinges of bronze. The surface is not perfectly flat.
Extremely hard surface with strong resistance to abrasive wear and scratching.
Excellent performance in high abrasion environments such as mining and material handling.
Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and industrial chemical exposure.
Reduces maintenance frequency and extends flooring system lifespan significantly.
