About Absolute Black Granite Polished Tile

Material Education

Absolute Black granite is a dense, fine-grained igneous stone quarried from the southern tip of Asia, renowned for its near-flawless jet-black color with virtually no visible veining or mineral inclusions. Its tightly interlocked crystalline structure gives it an exceptionally hard surface that takes a mirror-like polish, producing a deep, glossy sheen that intensifies the stone's darkness. The result is one of the most consistently colored natural stones available — bold, sophisticated, and unmistakably dramatic.

As a genuine natural stone, subtle variations in grain density or rare micro-mineral flecks may appear across tiles, affirming the authenticity of the material rather than representing a defect.

About this tile: This 18×18 polished field tile delivers a large, square format ideal for expansive floor runs or statement wall installations, with the high-gloss finish amplifying reflectivity and creating a sense of depth and dimension in any space.

Design & Inspiration

Absolute Black's pure, near-colorless palette pairs effortlessly with bright whites, warm brass or gold fixtures, and natural wood tones like white oak and walnut, as well as sleek chrome and matte black hardware. It anchors modern, minimalist, and Art Deco-inspired interiors with equal authority, and serves as a striking contrast element in transitional or classic design schemes.

The 18×18 format lays up quickly in a straight-set grid to create seamless, mirror-like floors that visually enlarge a room, while the polished surface reflects ambient and artificial light beautifully in kitchens, bathrooms, and foyer applications. Used on a feature wall or fireplace surround, the large square format provides a bold, graphic presence without busy patterning.

Popular design combinations: Absolute Black polished floors paired with Calacatta marble vanity tops, brass fixtures, and white shaker cabinetry for a high-contrast luxury kitchen or bath.

Premium Natural Stone

Secure Packaging

Absolute Black granite is one of the world's most sought-after natural stones, prized for its uniform, jet-black tone and exceptionally dense crystalline structure. Quarried from the southern region of Asia, it contains virtually no veining or color variation, making it a rare example of near-total consistency in natural stone.

This 18×18 tile is finished to a high polish, bringing out the stone's deepest color saturation and a reflective, glass-like surface that adds visual depth and luxury to any installation. The large square format minimizes grout lines when set in a straight grid, creating an uninterrupted, dramatic plane of black that suits both residential and commercial environments.

Ideal for interior floors, feature walls, and fireplace surrounds, this tile is rated for moderate-traffic residential floor use and performs exceptionally well in dry or periodically wet areas such as bathrooms and entryways. Because clearance quantities may be limited, ordering samples before committing to a full project quantity is always recommended.

Free Shipping: This product ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Although granite is denser than marble and more resistant to absorption, Absolute Black should still be sealed upon installation and resealed every 1–2 years in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchen floors. A penetrating impregnator sealer is recommended to protect against moisture and cleaning product residue.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner or mild dish soap diluted in warm water. Avoid acidic cleaners, vinegar, citrus-based products, and bleach, which can dull the polished surface over time. The high-gloss finish will show water spots and fingerprints more readily than honed finishes — routine wiping with a dry microfiber cloth keeps the surface looking its best.

Installation: Use a gray or black unsanded or medium-bed thinset mortar to avoid color bleed-through on dark stone. Back-butter each tile fully to ensure maximum bond coverage, especially important with large-format 18×18 tiles. Maintain consistent 1/16–1/8 inch grout joints and use a matching dark or charcoal grout to preserve the seamless, dramatic look of the installation.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Product & Installation Guidance

Natural stone is a product of the earth — every piece is one of a kind. A little planning ensures your finished installation looks its best and lasts for decades.

Natural Variation
Color, veining, texture, shade, movement, finish, and sizing vary from piece to piece. Product photos and samples are a general reference and may not match the exact material you receive. These variations are inherent characteristics of natural stone — they are part of its beauty, not defects.

Before You Install

Order roughly 10% extra to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
Blend tiles from multiple boxes as you work to achieve the most natural, balanced appearance.
Dry-lay and inspect the full layout before setting a single tile.
Installation constitutes full acceptance of the product, so review everything carefully first.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer before and after installation, and re-sealed periodically in wet or high-traffic areas. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic products, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia, which can permanently etch the surface. Outdoor installations may weather or change tone over time with exposure.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot is not responsible for improper installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, product misuse, or damage from improper handling, sealing, maintenance, or harsh chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements can be accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65: Some natural stone products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Order a Sample First

Seeing real stone in your own space — under your own light, beside your own finishes — is the best way to buy with confidence. We make it easy and affordable.

How It Works
Samples are just $7.99 each with free shipping, and they ship in 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability, typically ranging from 3"×3" up to 8"×8". Exact dimensions aren't guaranteed, but every sample is cut from the same material you'll receive in a full order.

What a Sample Shows
Samples help you evaluate the general color, texture, finish, and overall character of a product before committing to a full order. Because natural stone varies from piece to piece, your sample is representative — it may not capture the complete range of variation across an entire lot. For current lot photos, just ask our team.

Good to Know

Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
Ordering a sample before a full purchase is always recommended, especially for natural stone.
