Archicross Stone Black is stone seen in cross-section, in near-black — pale veins tracing around irregular mineral forms against a dark ground. It is the most dramatic surface in the Archicross range and the one that behaves like a feature material rather than a background.
The finish is the slip rating. Matt is R10 and Structure A is R11, the same black stone in both, plus a pressed step tile. Matt for dry floors and walls, Structure A for a shower floor or wet room; the pattern is identical across both.
What “structure” actually means here. Structure A is not a printed effect — the surface is physically raised, a fine dense grain you feel under a bare foot, closer to fine grit paper than to a smooth kitchen wall tile. On black the relief catches the light, so the structured face reads slightly lighter than the flat Matt.
Laying it. The colour is fired through the body, so a chipped edge stays black. The pale veining is what makes this tile, and it is also what makes it demanding: it wants an uninterrupted run to be seen properly — a full shower wall, a hallway floor — and it will overwhelm a small room. Dry-lay and mix across boxes so the veining does not cluster. A dark grout keeps the joints out of the way of the pattern. Every format covers 1.43 m² per box at 26.6 kg — a 6 m² floor is five boxes with the usual ~10% cutting allowance. Rectified edges take a 2 mm joint; suits underfloor heating.
