Where it works

The applications this surface is actually rated for.

Its maker rates Basaltina Nera for countertops · flooring · wall — all of it at commercial duty.

Rated for

Countertops — residential and commercial
Flooring — residential and commercial
Wall — residential and commercial

What to expect once it is installed

The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.

Shade variation: V3 — moderate variation

Pieces will differ visibly. That is what makes the wall look like stone instead of wallpaper, but it means judging it from one piece will mislead you.

Wear rating: PEI 4

Its abrasion class is PEI 4 of a possible 5, meaning residential floors plus light commercial traffic, so it will outlast the kitchen around it.

Certifications

This one carries KOSHER · NSF · USGBC/LEED. NSF is about food contact, not air: it certifies the surface as safe to prepare food on. Useful on a LEED project; irrelevant on most kitchens, but it costs nothing to have.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Basaltina Nera itself, not from its name.

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #3F3B37 — deep and essentially neutral — which puts it nearest Forest / Emerald in our pairing data. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — emerald + gold, the jewel-box move. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — white stone keeps deep green from swallowing light. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid

Flooring

Walnut — deep green + deep wood = library richness (needs good lighting). Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast solid

Lighting

Copper — Copper pendants throw a rosy light that keeps forest-green cabinets from going black after sunset — the one metal that flatters dark green at night.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Questions about Basaltina Nera

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is Basaltina Nera?

Basaltina Nera comes in one size, 12MM. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use Basaltina Nera?

Will the tiles match the sample I saw?

Can Basaltina Nera go on a floor?

Yes, comfortably. At PEI 4 it is rated past residential floors into light commercial traffic, so it will outlast the kitchen around it.

What color is Basaltina Nera, really?

We measured its own swatch at #3F3B37 — deep and essentially neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

What is Basaltina Nera made of?

Basaltina Nera is a glazed porcelain tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.

Does Basaltina Nera need sealing?

No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
