Black Granite Rail Mldg Pol 1x2x12

Black Granite Rail Mldg Pol 1x2x12 is a black granite tile offered in a 1 by 2 format. Its igneous grain makes it one of the hardest flooring stones available, resisting scratches and wear. It lays a clean, continuous field across floors and walls in both residential and commercial rooms.

Black is decisive underfoot and dramatic on walls, sharpening whites and metallics around it. Keep surrounding surfaces light to let the dark field carry the room. The compact format means more grout lines, which read as texture; matching grout keeps it subtle, contrasting grout makes it graphic.

Granite is an igneous stone crystallized from molten rock, which makes it one of the hardest natural surfaces used in construction. Its mineral grain gives each tile a speckled, dimensional character, and its density resists scratching and heat better than calcite stones like marble. Granite performs on floors, counters, and outdoor surfaces where wear resistance matters most.

Granite needs less maintenance than softer stones but still benefits from sealing at installation and re-sealing every one to two years depending on use. Clean with warm water and pH-neutral cleaner; avoid abrasive pads that can dull polished faces. Wipe oil and wine spills promptly on lighter colors. Install with a polymer-modified thinset rated for dense stone, and back-butter larger formats for full mortar coverage.
