Materials
Turkish Basalt
Dense, dark volcanic stone for façades, paving and landscape.
Basalt gives a dark, even surface with strong frost and wear resistance, suited to exterior architecture.
Technical considerations
- Surface texture is agreed on a physical sample.
- Weight and thickness drive fixing and transport planning.
Technical information indicative
| Property | Typical range | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 2.80 – 3.00 g/cm³ | EN 1936 |
| Water absorption | 0.10 – 0.50 % | EN 13755 |
| Flexural strength | 15 – 25 MPa | EN 12372 |
Values vary by quarry and block. Lot-specific test reports are requested from the supplier before approval.
Common questions about basalt
- Why choose basalt for exterior projects?
- Basalt is dense, with low water absorption and good resistance to frost and wear, which makes it suitable for paving, steps and façades.
- How heavy is basalt compared with other stones?
- Basalt is one of the denser building stones, typically around 2.8 to 3.0 g/cm³. Weight affects fixing design and transport planning, so it is considered early.
