Description

Citadel Stone’s Black Basalt Honed 12″ × 24″ × 3cm brings the smooth-matte finish specification of our signature volcanic basalt into the elongated rectangular format that defines contemporary architectural paving and refined hardscape. The honed finish is produced by progressive mechanical grinding to a smooth, satin-matte surface plane — a more visually restrained alternative to the deeply-textured bush-hammered finish, suited to contemporary residential patios, residential and light-commercial driveways, garden walkways and landscape paving, commercial plaza and hospitality hardscape, sheltered exterior architecture, and interior floor installations. The 12-by-24-inch format installs cleanly in running-bond, stack-bond, and herringbone patterns suited to both contemporary and traditional architectural settings. The 3cm (1-1/4 inch) thickness is the US natural-stone trade standard for premium paving. Quarried from Citadel volcanic deposits in the Middle East — the world’s most weather-resilient basalt source — and prepared in our own facilities. No sealing required for any application. The honed surface requires honest specification consideration for high-risk wet-walking applications such as pool decks and exposed exterior steps, where the bush-hammered alternative in the same stone family delivers stronger slip resistance.

Specifications

Color: Black
Finish: Honed
Size: 12″ × 24″ × 3cm
Origin: Middle East
Technical Details: Citadel volcanic basalt source. Our basalt is sourced exclusively from controlled Middle Eastern volcanic deposits that Citadel Stone has worked with for five decades. The structural integrity, density consistency, and colour uniformity reflect that long-term supply relationship. In-house honed finishing. The honed surface is produced in Citadel Stone’s controlled finishing facilities by experienced stone craftsmen, ensuring the smooth-matte character is consistent across pieces and across batches. US trade-standard thickness. The 3cm paver specification is the natural-stone industry standard across US hardscape specification, signalled clearly in the product name and supported throughout the technical documentation. Family-coordinated stone specification. The same Citadel basalt is available in multiple formats and finishes — 12″ × 12″, 12″ × 24″, 24″ × 24″, slabs, cobbles, Belgian block, bullnose coping, curbing, in honed, bush-hammered, polished, sawn, and split-face surfaces — supporting whole-project specification with material consistency across surface treatments within the same stone family. Climate-honest specification guidance. Citadel basalt is the all-climate specification with no caveats on the stone itself; the honest guidance on the honed finish addresses the wet-condition slip-resistance consideration that influences appropriate-application selection. Citadel Stone will recommend the bush-hammered finish wherever the honed surface is not the right specification for the safety considerations of the application. No sealing protocol — practical advantage clearly stated. The no-sealing-required performance is one of the principal practical advantages of basalt over limestone, marble, sandstone, and porous-stone alternatives, and applies to the honed finish identically to other Citadel basalt specifications. Custom thicknesses on request. Beyond the standard 3cm, this finish is available in 2cm (wall cladding) and 4cm or 5cm (heavy loading) thicknesses for project-specific requirements.
