Absolute Black Granite

Absolute Black Granite Collection features natural granite with a deep, solid black color. This stone creates bold, modern spaces with timeless sophistication and durability.

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.

Why Order a Sample
A screen can't show you how Calacatta veining reads under your kitchen lights or how a porcelain finish sits next to your cabinet color. A sample can. It's the single best way to buy stone or porcelain tile with confidence — and the cheapest mistake you'll ever avoid.

How It Works
Samples are $7.99 each. Samples ship free and leave our warehouse within 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability — typically 3"×3" up to 8"×8" — and every sample is cut from the same material stocked for full orders.

What a Sample Shows
Color, texture, finish, and overall character. Because natural stone varies piece to piece, one sample represents the material but can't show the full range of a lot. Porcelain samples are highly representative of the production run. Want to see the current lot before you commit? Ask us — we'll send photos.

Good to Know

Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
We recommend sampling before every full order, especially for natural stone.

Our stone and tile specialists will help you narrow it down. Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5 PM PT.

How Your Order Ships
In-stock orders leave our warehouse within 2–3 business days. Stone, porcelain, and mosaic ship on a pallet via scheduled LTL freight and arrive 2–10 business days after dispatch, depending on destination. You'll get tracking and the carrier's name by email the day it ships.

Freight Delivery — What to Expect

The carrier calls you first. Every freight delivery is by appointment. Expect a call or text to set a window before the truck is dispatched.
Curbside delivery. The driver unloads to the curb or driveway. Freight does not include carrying material indoors or into a garage — plan for a helper or a hand truck.
Someone 18+ must sign. Inspect the pallet before signing. Note any damage, shortage, or broken shrink-wrap on the delivery receipt — this is what makes a claim valid.
Truck access. The address must be accessible to a full-size freight truck with enough space to unload.

Free Shipping
Free curbside freight on qualifying mosaic and molding orders over $1,999 in the continental U.S. Field tile, porcelain, and other product types ship at freight rates shown at checkout. Not available to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses.

Damage & Shortages
Report within 3 calendar days of delivery with photos of the pallet, packaging, and affected pieces to sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com. Verified claims are covered. Shortages of 1–5 pieces are refunded rather than reshipped — which is why we recommend ordering 10% overage.

30-Day Returns
Uninstalled tile in full, unopened boxes may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Return freight is paid by the customer. Partial boxes, opened boxes, installed material, and samples are final sale.

Questions Before You Order?
Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–5 PM PT. If you're unsure about freight access at your address, ask us before checkout — we'll flag anything that could hold up delivery.

Natural Variation
Quarried stone varies in color, veining, shade, movement, and finish from piece to piece and from lot to lot. Screen photos and samples show the range, not the exact tile you'll receive. Variation is the nature of the material and is never grounds for return. Porcelain is far more consistent, but shade and pattern can still shift between production runs — buy your full quantity in one order.

Before You Install

Order 10% overage. Covers cuts, breakage, and spares for future repairs. Reorders may not match in tone or lot.
Inspect every piece before setting. Pull from all boxes, blend, and dry-lay the full area. Installation is acceptance — no claims are honored once tile is set.
Hire a qualified installer. Natural stone and large-format porcelain require experience with the material. Your installer is responsible for substrate, setting materials, and method.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a penetrating sealer and re-sealed periodically in wet and high-traffic areas. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner only — vinegar, bleach, ammonia, and acidic cleaners etch marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx permanently. Porcelain does not require sealing. Outdoor stone weathers and shifts in tone over time; this is expected.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot supplies material only. We are not responsible for installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, setting materials, product misuse, or damage from handling, sealing, maintenance, or chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements are accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65
Some natural stone and porcelain products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Details at www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
