What is Black Forest Granite?

Black Forest Granite is engineered quartz — roughly ninety percent ground quartz mineral bound in resin, so it never needs sealing. Installed, engineered quartz runs $120 to $150 per square foot, below granite, quartzite and marble. The field is black. The closest matches Ace also carries are Fusion Quartzite and Silver Waves Granite.

What to expect once it is installed

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

Variation: high. Expect the delivery to have more range in it than the sample suggested. It is not a defect and it is not negotiable — it is how the material comes.

Certifications

Certified GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. Greenguard Gold is the stricter of the two Greenguard tiers, written around schools and healthcare. NSF is a food-contact safety certification — the surface is rated for preparing food on, which is a cleanability standard, not an air one. It can also contribute toward LEED credits if your project is chasing them.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Black Forest Granite itself, not from its name.

Read off its own swatch, Black Forest Granite measures #564F48: deep, near-neutral. We match that to Charcoal and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — gold jewelry on gray flannel. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic
Copper — Copper pulls against charcoal like embers in ash, and every fingerprint just speeds the living patina you were going to want anyway.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current
Matte Black (Metal) — tonal, hardware disappears into the mass. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials solid

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — inverted tuxedo — dark base, light top. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Island

Natural / White Oak — dark perimeter with a wood island keeps it livable. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Cabinets

Warm White / Ivory — A charcoal island anchored by warm white perimeter is the combination clients stop questioning after year five — it simply never dates because it never trended.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Questions about Black Forest Granite

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

What size is Black Forest Granite?

Black Forest Granite comes in one size, 3 cm. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use Black Forest Granite?

Its maker rates it for countertops · wall · flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

What color is Black Forest Granite, really?

We measured its own swatch at #564F48 — deep and near-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 Black Forest Granite made of?

Black Forest Granite is a granite tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.

Does Black Forest Granite need sealing?

Yes. Granite is natural stone with real porosity. It wants sealing on installation and re-sealing every year or two — a ten-minute job with a bottle from the hardware store, not a service call.
