Piastrella di granito nero Impala

This is a stone that narrates a tale. When I first peered into Piastrella di granito nero Impala, the soft matte sensation from my fingers reminded me of the old leather in the Amazonian basin, and the silver-gray patterns on the stone appeared like the stars under the night sky of the Andes. The unique beauty of this natural stone is what makes it a “Space magician”, which is privately owned by the most celebrated designers.

The concealed secret that has slept in the earth for 60 million years finally became aware of it in the Andes Mountains of South America. The hot magma and minerals interacted with each other under high pressure. After a long process of crystallization, this black granite with a density of up to 2.7 g/cm3 was produced. The composition of each tile is an epic of geological behavior – the white veins that are solid are the accumulated memories of ancient watercraft; the scattered golden micas are the star-shaped particles that are released during volcanic activity.

Specifications of Impala Black Granite Tile

Texture properties: With a magnifying glass, you can observe a structure resembling the tree’s ring, which is the annual ring of mineral accumulation. Quartz crystals that are randomly distributed will appear to have a rainbow halo, this will happen at a specific angle, which will make the entire stone appear to be alive and breathing. I’ve observed a peculiar sample in the exhibition hall that forms a pattern similar to the eagle’s feather, this was later purchased by customers for a high price.
Color attributes: The primary color is black, which is as dark as possible, but it will exhibit multiple layers that are different colors under different illumination. There is a caramel halo beneath soft lighting, as well as an elusive blue sensation under harsh lighting. A customer employed it on the wall of a bar, and the stone’s surface demonstrated a fluid-like effect that was similar to the aurora.

The cutting-edge technology for leather surface treatment causes the cold stone to become warm. Through 12 manual processes that preserve the natural pattern, it produces a baby’s skin-like feel. This procedure not only increases the anti-slip property (friction coefficient of 0.65μ), but also promotes the stone’s unique “skin-like” effect. A blind customer approached it and said in surprise: I can see the narrative in the stone.

Advantages of Impala Black Granite Tile

1. Anti-fouling performance: Laboratory tests show that liquids such as soy sauce and coffee can still be easily wiped off after being left on the surface for 24 hours. I have done a test myself, scribbling on the surface with a marker, and it is wiped clean with an alcohol wipe.
2. Heat resistance: The surface can withstand an instantaneous high temperature of 350℃ using an infrared thermometer imported from Germany. A chef customer used it as a cooking table and placed a freshly baked cast iron pot directly on it, without any damage to the stone surface.
3. Durability: The Mohs hardness is 6.5, which is equivalent to 1/3 of the hardness of diamond. In the ground use case of a high-end shopping mall, after 5 years of 2,000 people stepping on it every day, the surface is still as good as new.

Application Scenarios of Impala Black Granite Tile

1. Kitchen application: The chef of a Michelin restaurant in Shanghai chose this stone as a cooking table, and the black surface and silver kitchenware form an industrial aesthetic collision. Even better, the splashed sauce is almost invisible against a dark background, greatly improving meal preparation efficiency.
2. Bathroom application: A designer in Hangzhou cut it into 300x600mm specifications for the shower area wall. The black stone and the green plants in the steam create an immersive experience like a tropical rainforest.
3. Floor paving: The floor of an art gallery in Beijing uses 800x800mm specifications and is matched with customized LED floor lights. When the audience walks by, the mica particles in the stone will refract flowing light spots, forming a unique interactive art installation.
4. Wall decoration: The front desk background wall of a technology company in Shenzhen is spliced ​​with large-format 900x900mm tiles. The white mineral veins on the black base naturally form a pattern similar to a circuit board, which perfectly echoes the company’s technological positioning.
5. Outdoor application: The anti-slip Impala Black Granite Tile is used on the swimming pool walkway of a resort hotel in Sanya. After 3 years of sun and rain, the stone not only did not fade, but formed a unique patina texture under the erosion of the sea breeze.
