Cast Basalt Floors

Cast basalt floors are a type of flooring system that is made from cast basalt tiles. Cast basalt is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that is melted and cast into tiles or other shapes. The resulting material is extremely hard and durable, making it ideal for use in high-wear industrial settings.

Cast basalt floors offer many benefits over other types of flooring systems, including excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemical corrosion. They can be used in a variety of industrial applications, such as mining, power generation, and chemical processing, where heavy equipment and harsh operating conditions can quickly wear out traditional flooring materials.

Cast basalt floors are also non-slip and easy to clean, making them suitable for use in areas where safety and hygiene are a concern. They can be customized in a range of colors and textures to suit specific design needs, and their natural stone appearance can provide an attractive aesthetic to complement any interior design scheme.

In summary, cast basalt floors are a durable and long-lasting flooring option that is well-suited for use in industrial settings. Made from melted and cast basalt rock, they offer excellent resistance to wear and tear, chemical corrosion, and impact. They are also non-slip and easy to maintain, making them a versatile and safe choice for a range of applications.

In addition to the specific advantages of this material, the extraordinary look of a cast basalt floor will also appeal to you: Its blue, shimmering, and fiery surface gives every surface or room an attractive, innovative, and appealing look. Thanks to its properties, cast basalt can be installed everywhere, indoors as well as outdoors.

Cast basalt tiles are a durable, economical solution that is also visually very attractive – regardless of whether you choose smooth or anti-slip tiles. The latter is available in four surface designs with fine grooves on the bottom of the tiles. They are available in square or hexagonal shapes or designed as staircase steps.

The combination of the properties of basalt with functional elements such as formpieces or L-sections with rounded edges is important to ensure a perfect connection between the horizontal floor and the wall as well as easy care and maintenance. We offer such elements as skirting sections in various shapes and sizes.

We offer cast basalt tile lined elbows for coal bunkers and chutes. These cast basalt tiles are bedded as well as jointed in cement/special bonding agents like resins depending upon application. These tiles, mostly find application in automotive industry and are designed to provide long-lasting lining and enhancement to involved operational life cycle for both plant as well as equipment.

Cast Basalt tiles are made in hard-metric sizes.

Appearance

Cast Basalt Tiles are naturally black with some tinges of bronze. The surface is not perfectly flat.

Cast Basalt Tile Characteristics

Is basalt good for flooring?

Basalt flooring is highly sought after for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Formed in a high-temperature volcanic environment, basalt tiles are long-lasting, difficult to corrode, and ageless. Hard and durable, they are ideal for high-traffic areas of the home.

What are the pros and cons of basalt tile?

Basalt is a very hard stone that is resistant to damage and heat. However, this same quality can also be seen as a disadvantage. Because basalt is so hard, it can be difficult to cut and shape.

What is basalt flooring?

Also known as lava stone, it's actually what happens when lava seeps above the Earth's surface and rapidly cools, creating a hard, solid rock. The resulting material is generally a dark gray to black color, and can range from smooth to textured depending on the conditions under which it was formed.

What is the basalt good for?

Basalt is used in construction (e.g. as building blocks or in the groundwork), making cobblestones (from columnar basalt) and in making statues. Heating and extruding basalt yields stone wool, which has potential to be an excellent thermal insulator.

What are Cast Basalt Floors?

Cast basalt floors are constructed using cast basalt slabs or tiles installed as protective flooring. The material is produced by melting natural basalt rock at high temperatures and casting it into dense, microcrystalline blocks.

These floors are specifically engineered to withstand continuous abrasion from heavy equipment, falling materials, and sliding bulk solids, making them ideal for extreme industrial conditions.
