Black Angola

Originating from Angola, Black Angola granite is a distinguished natural stone characterized by a deep, dark matrix punctuated by subtle irregular flecks of crystalline feldspar and quartz. Its deep coloration and refined texture provide a sophisticated foundation, offering architecturally compelling contrast when paired with lighter finishes, metallic elements, or minimalist cabinetry.

Renowned for its exceptional structural integrity, granite remains a preferred material for high-performance surfaces due to its dense composition, low porosity, and minimal water absorption. Black Angola granite, in particular, exhibits a medium-to-coarse grain structure that delivers both visual consistency and superior physical durability.

Finishings

Sandblasted

Blasting silica sand against the material through an air gun and generates very small craters.

Leather

Brushing the slab with a range of brushes and the result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch.

Polished

Abrasive treatments with repeated applications result in a shiny surface, highlights the colour and properties of the natural stone.

Bushammered

Hitting the material, with a masonry tool called a bush hammer, that generates uniformly distributed craters of different sizes over the surface of natural stone.

Brushed

Abrasive brushes under high pressure generate a touch-sensitive and smooth surface of natural stone.

Scratched

Scratched finish is applied so that the surface exhibits a texture with straight reliefs and natural colours.

Flamed

Exposing the surface of the stone directly to a high-temperature flame that generates a thin roughness.

Honed

A honed finish refers to any level that is less than
polished and therefore the surface is smooth but dull
or slightly reflective.

Sawn

Rough and irregular surface with small furrows and undulations in a mate tone.
