Via Lactea Black Granite Tiles For Dining Tops
Via Lactea (Milky Way) is dramatic Brazilian gneiss‑granite. It features deep jet‑black background crossed by irregular flowing white crystalline veins, presenting galaxy‑like visual effect. High density, low water absorption, excellent compressive strength and weather resistance. Granite tiles available in polished, honed, flamed & brushed finishes; common sizes 60×60, 60×120 cm, thickness 18‑20 mm. Book‑match effect is highly recommended.
Product description
Via Lactea Granite Tiles are premium finished natural granite tiles celebrated across global stone markets for its milky pale‑white base tone, scattered dark mineral speckles and faint wispy smoky‑grey flowing veins, widely deployed for high‑end residential renovation, luxury villa flooring, hotel lobby cladding, commercial interior decoration and interior‑exterior general engineering projects. Formed over millions of years through magmatic crystallization and deep crustal geological evolution, this finished tile features an ultra‑dense, rigid interlocking crystalline structure with superior hardness, outstanding compression resistance and reliable long‑term weather durability, comprehensively outperforming conventional marble tiles in heavy‑duty application performance. It boasts an elegant milky off‑white base tone naturally dotted with scattered dark mineral spots and subtle smoky‑grey fibrous veining, delivering soft, clean and highly‑layered visual effects that interpret modern neutral‑tone high‑end architectural aesthetics. With exceptional physical stability, outstanding abrasion resistance, reliable anti‑stain performance and excellent outdoor weather adaptability, Via Lactea Granite Tiles sustain consistent premium decorative performance and long service life under high‑frequency heavy‑traffic usage scenarios. Its excellent tile flatness, moderate natural color variation and distinctive speckle‑vein texture make it a top‑grade finished tile material for standardized flooring, wall cladding, stair tread paving, corridor finishing and large‑scale engineering matching projects worldwide.
Category: Natural Granite Finished Tiles
Color: Elegant milky off‑white base tone interspersed with scattered dark mineral speckles and subtle smoky‑grey wispy flowing veins; soft neutral tone, natural granular‑vein layering, clean minimalist luxury artistic temperament
Surface Finish Available: Polished / Honed / Flamed / Bush‑hammered
Product Form: Pre‑cut Standard Granite Tiles
Texture: Compact medium‑fine uniform granite crystalline texture with tightly interlocked mineral grains; high‑gloss polished surface fully presents crystal luster and natural distribution of speckles & thin smoky veins; honed and flamed finishes provide reliable anti‑slip performance for public‑area and outdoor paving scenarios
Density: 2.65 – 2.72 g/cm³ (High compactness; guarantees reliable structural stability and long‑lasting decorative durability for long‑term high‑frequency paving application)
Water Absorption: < 0.19% (Low water permeability; perfectly applicable for interior flooring, wall cladding, wet area paving and exterior facade & ground decoration projects)
Compressive Strength: 160 – 192 MPa (Excellent structural strength and pressure resistance; suitable for large‑scale engineering paving and commercial high‑traffic usage scenarios)
Abrasion Resistance: Great wear, scratch and stain resistance, vastly superior to ordinary marble tiles; ideal for luxury indoor flooring, neutral‑tone artistic feature walls, exterior landscape ground projects and standardized high‑end tile decoration
GANGSAW SUITABILITY
Via Lactea Granite raw blocks are fully compatible with standard gangsaw processing equipment for mass tile cutting. Standard quarry block dimensions fully adapt to standardized tile specification cutting. The stone features homogeneous internal crystallization, stable overall hardness; speckle and vein distribution brings slight natural variation among individual blocks, generating moderate controllable processing waste and stable finished‑product yield. It is an attractive light‑toned granite material for standardized mass tile production and large‑scale engineering procurement.
Recommended Processing: Gangsaw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by calibration, precise tile cutting, edge trimming and high‑gloss mirror polishing / honed / flamed treatment
Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 76‑86 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm thickness)
Polish Result: Uniform milky off‑white high‑gloss glossy surface with scattered dark mineral speckles and faint smoky‑grey wispy veins, presenting soft three‑dimensional texture, clean neutral tone and exclusive modern minimalist high‑end engineering decorative appearance
