BLACK I

Black I & Black I Extra: deep black granite with character

Black I and Black I Extra are two varieties of the same Indian black granite, quarried from the same source, and both are supplied 100% guaranteed untreated. Black I has a very black background with a slightly coarser grain: from close up the grain structure is visible, but on a finished surface such as a kitchen worktop the stone appears remarkably dark and homogeneous, with typical small, pale flecks spread across the mass. Black I Extra has an even darker background and a finer grain, with typical small, fine flecks spread across the surface, and is also an excellent choice for tiles. Both materials are consistent in colour and availability from block to block.

Both materials are homogeneous and deep black in appearance. Black and white mineral concentrations, veins, or slight variation in grain structure within the same block or slab occur sporadically and carry no technical disadvantage whatsoever. Gold-coloured ore minerals, small specks that occur mainly in Black I, also carry no technical disadvantage and can be retouched with a black touch-up pen if desired.
