Cast basalt floors are a type of flooring system that is made from cast basalt tiles. Cast basalt is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that is melted and cast into tiles or other shapes. The resulting material is extremely hard and durable, making it ideal for use in high-wear industrial settings.
Cast basalt floors offer many benefits over other types of flooring systems, including excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemical corrosion. They can be used in a variety of industrial applications, such as mining, power generation, and chemical processing, where heavy equipment and harsh operating conditions can quickly wear out traditional flooring materials.
Cast basalt floors are also non-slip and easy to clean, making them suitable for use in areas where safety and hygiene are a concern. They can be customized in a range of colors and textures to suit specific design needs, and their natural stone appearance can provide an attractive aesthetic to complement any interior design scheme.
In summary, cast basalt floors are a durable and long-lasting flooring option that is well-suited for use in industrial settings. Made from melted and cast basalt rock, they offer excellent resistance to wear and tear, chemical corrosion, and impact. They are also non-slip and easy to maintain, making them a versatile and safe choice for a range of applications.
In addition to the specific advantages of this material, the extraordinary look of a cast basalt floor will also appeal to you: Its blue, shimmering, and fiery surface gives every surface or room an attractive, innovative, and appealing look. Thanks to its properties, cast basalt can be installed everywhere, indoors as well as outdoors.
Cast basalt tiles are a durable, economical solution that is also visually very attractive – regardless of whether you choose smooth or anti-slip tiles. The latter is available in four surface designs with fine grooves on the bottom of the tiles. They are available in square or hexagonal shapes or designed as staircase steps.

Basalt is a very hard stone that is resistant to damage and heat. However, this same quality can also be seen as a disadvantage. Because basalt is so hard, it can be difficult to cut and shape.
Also known as lava stone, it's actually what happens when lava seeps above the Earth's surface and rapidly cools, creating a hard, solid rock. The resulting material is generally a dark gray to black color, and can range from smooth to textured depending on the conditions under which it was formed.
Basalt is used in construction (e.g. as building blocks or in the groundwork), making cobblestones (from columnar basalt) and in making statues. Heating and extruding basalt yields stone wool, which has potential to be an excellent thermal insulator.
Basalt casts are considered the best lining materials for industries dealing with abrasion resistance. The other application areas of basalt casts are bends, lining pipers and trenches.
Basalt tiles can be placed and jointed in cement or specially-defined bonding agents, as demanded by the intended application. Basalt tiles can be provided with a central hole that is countersunk for individual bolting, or as ready-made liner plates and pipes.
Cast basalt tiles is mainly used in thermal power plants, steel mills, mines and other parts with heavy wear, such as raw coal bunkers, mine bins, coal unloading trenches, hoppers, ore troughs, flotation machines, chutes and other parts.
These very hard tiles are made for very heavy industrial use, but also feature a beautiful metallic sheen. Originally used for sewerage systems or piping pieces, these pavement tiles are made by melting natural basalt and casting it into metal moulds.
