Product Overview

Asterix Black Granite is a decorative natural granite recognised for its black and charcoal-grey background and swirling mineral movement and dynamic natural contrast. Its surface combines silver-white and smoky crystalline areas with fine mineral lines and natural tonal transitions. The distribution of these elements varies from slab to slab, creating individual compositions with different levels of colour concentration and movement. A polished finish increases colour depth and reflection, while a honed finish creates a softer and more contemporary appearance.

This granite can be fabricated into floor tiles, wall panels, table tops, vanity tops, reception counters, kitchen features and bespoke decorative components. Its distinctive character works particularly well in hotel public areas, dining rooms, luxury retail, bar interiors and contemporary private residences. Asterix Black Granite can be coordinated with polished steel, black metal, dark timber, warm white finishes and directional lighting to create either a refined classical setting or a clean contemporary interior.

Show Stone supplies Asterix Black Granite in custom sizes based on approved dimensions, templates and shop drawings. Because it is a natural granite, variations in colour, mineral areas, veins, fissures and repaired sections should be expected. Current slab photographs, videos and proposed cutting layouts can be provided before fabrication. For connected floors, wall elevations and furniture faces, dry laying and piece numbering help coordinate the natural pattern before the finished products are packed for international shipment.

Technical Specifications

Where It Performs in Real-World Applications

• Interior Floors: Custom tiles introduce natural colour and decorative movement into premium spaces.
• Feature Walls: Large panels transform the mineral pattern into an architectural focal point.
• Hotel Interiors: The expressive palette supports lobbies, suites, bathrooms and reception areas.
• Luxury Retail Stores: Statement granite surfaces complement fashion, jewellery, beauty and lifestyle brands.
• Table Tops: Selected slab sections can become dining, meeting, coffee or console surfaces.
• Vanity Tops: Custom fabrication allows coordinated tops, backsplashes, aprons and wall panels.
• Reception Counters: Matched faces and mitred edges create substantial custom stone volumes.
• Bespoke Furniture: The granite can be integrated into cabinets, side tables and decorative furniture.
• Premium Residences: Coordinated floors, walls and furniture create a consistent design language.

What Makes This Product Different in Performance

• Distinctive Colour: The expressive palette offers a recognisable alternative to conventional uniform granite.
• mineral Character: Irregular natural features create greater visual texture than stones with even veining.
• Polished Depth: Polishing enhances the contrast between pale mineral areas and darker veins.
• Honed Alternative: A honed finish reduces reflection while maintaining the natural colour and pattern.
• Design Flexibility: The granite can be processed into tiles, panels, tops, counters and furniture components.
• High Visual Impact: A limited quantity can create a memorable focal point in a luxury interior.
• Pattern Coordination: Digital layouts and dry laying help distribute prominent mineral areas across connected pieces.
• Edge Processing: Eased, bevelled, rounded and mitred edges can be produced to project requirements.
• Natural Individuality: Every slab has its own balance of colour, fragments and mineral movement.

Compliance & Industry Standards

Project-specific quality-control records can be prepared when required. Available documentation may include approved fabrication drawings, dimensional inspection reports, dry-lay photographs, piece-numbering plans, packing lists and pre-shipment images. These records support coordination among buyers, designers, contractors and installation teams.

Any required physical-property testing, technical documentation or destination-market certification should be confirmed before production. Applicable requirements depend on the selected material batch, intended application and specified testing method. Adhesives, grouts, sealers, substrates and mechanical supports should comply with local regulations and professional natural-stone installation practices.

Variations in tone, natural features, veins, fissures and repaired areas are inherent characteristics of Asterix Black Granite. Resin filling, mesh backing or professional reinforcement may occur depending on the selected slab. Current slabs and proposed cutting layouts should therefore be reviewed and approved before fabrication.

Lead Time & Customisation

Asterix Black Granite is commonly fabricated in 18mm and 20mm thicknesses. Other thicknesses can be custom-cut according to slab condition, component dimensions and project requirements. Floor tiles, wall panels, table tops, vanity tops, counters and bespoke decorative components can be produced from approved dimensions, templates or shop drawings.

The mineral pattern means that the cutting position can significantly affect the final appearance. Digital cutting layouts can help place important mineral areas on focal surfaces, coordinate adjoining components and reduce abrupt changes in pattern direction. Dry laying and piece numbering are recommended for connected floors, feature walls, counter faces and furniture elements.

The normal production lead time is approximately four weeks after the material, drawings, finish and cutting layout have been approved. Large quantities, complex edge details, mitred construction, special cut-outs or extensive dry-lay requirements may affect the final schedule. The MOQ is 1 piece, supporting complete projects, samples, bespoke furniture and replacement components.

Installation & Maintenance

• Inspect the colour, pattern, dimensions, thickness, finish and piece numbers before installation.
• Dry-lay adjoining pieces to confirm the approved pattern direction and overall arrangement.
• Use experienced natural-stone contractors for handling, cutting and installation.
• Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, level, stable and suitable for the finished stone weight.
• Use light-coloured adhesives and setting materials recommended for natural granite.
• Follow the approved cutting layout and piece-numbering plan during installation.
• Provide appropriate movement joints and mechanical support where required.
• Use suitable structural support for table tops, counters and projecting sections.
• Apply a penetrating natural-stone sealer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Clean spills promptly using a soft cloth and a pH-neutral natural-stone cleaner.
• Avoid acidic cleaners, vinegar, lemon, bleach, abrasive powders and metal scouring materials.
• Use coasters, trivets, mats and protective pads on furniture and working surfaces.
• Expect gradual patina because natural granite can scratch or etch through regular use.
• Arrange professional cleaning, polishing and resealing according to use and site conditions.
