Cut to size Lava Stone Wall Tiles

Lava stone arises from the fire of the volcano. Depending on the area of the world and the subsoil there, the lava or magma displays different material properties, affecting the surface of the lava stone. Therefore lava stone is a generic term from a geological standpoint.

Lava stone has varying amounts of vesicles, or holes. They are formed when the gases in the magma create bubbles in the molten rock, some of which get locked in place when the rock cools. These holes provide the graining found in lava stone. It can be varied and rich.

Lava stone is heat resistant. This is no surprise, given its beginnings in the depths of volcanoes. As a thermally stable stone, it can manage very high temperatures. The surface of lava stone slabs can then be heated further in an oven, sometimes up to 1500°. Depending on this temperature, different textures will appear on the surface. It will also become harder, more durable, and non-porous.

Lava stone color ranges from light gray to darker black. We hand select lava stones to assure the best look and texture. Because stone is a product of nature, no two pieces are alike. Lava stone from different locations can result in different looks. Stop by or order a sample to confirm the look you want. When the right stone is chosen, and composed in the right way, lava stone can be one of the most unique stones for interior and exterior surfaces.
