FAQs
What is Sesame Black Granite?
Sesame Black Granite is a fine-grained, dark grey to black granite from China, often featuring subtle white or golden speckles resembling sesame seeds. Quarried in regions like Fujian and Jilin, it’s known for its strength (Mohs hardness 6-7) and low porosity, making it a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor projects.
What Are the Main Uses of Sesame Black Granite?
This granite shines in various applications: Countertops: Its heat and scratch resistance make it ideal for kitchens. Flooring: Durable and slip-resistant, perfect for high-traffic areas. Paving: Weather-resistant for patios, driveways, and pathways. Wall Cladding: Adds a sleek, modern look to interiors and exteriors. Monuments: Its ability to hold engravings suits memorials.
How Does Sesame Black Granite Compare to Other Black Granites?
Compared to Absolute Black Granite (India) or Shanxi Black Granite (China), Sesame Black offers a unique speckled texture rather than a solid black finish. It’s often more affordable due to China’s large reserves and lower production costs, yet it maintains high durability and a sophisticated look.
What Finishes Are Available for Sesame Black Granite?
You can choose from several finishes: Polished: Shiny and reflective, highlighting the speckles. Flamed: Rough, slip-resistant surface for outdoor use. Honed: Smooth, matte finish for a subtle effect. Bush Hammered: Textured for added grip and rustic appeal.
Is Sesame Black Granite Durable?
Yes, it’s highly durable. With a compressive strength of around 180 MPa and low water absorption, it resists weathering, scratches, and stains. This makes it suitable for harsh climates and heavy use, though sealing enhances its longevity.
How Much Does Sesame Black Granite Cost?
Prices vary by finish, thickness, and order size: Tiles (600x600mm, 2cm thick): $10-15 per square meter. Slabs (polished, 3cm thick): $20-30 per square meter. Bulk orders often reduce costs. Contact suppliers for exact quotes based on your project.
How Do I Maintain Sesame Black Granite?
aintenance is simple: Cleaning: Use water and mild soap; avoid acidic cleaners. Sealing: Apply a stone sealant every 1-2 years to boost stain resistance. Spills: Wipe up quickly to prevent potential staining, though it’s naturally low-porosity.
Can Sesame Black Granite Be Used Outdoors?
Absolutely. Its resistance to heat, frost, and UV fading makes it excellent for outdoor paving, stairs, and cladding. A flamed or bush-hammered finish enhances slip resistance, ideal for wet conditions.
Where Is Sesame Black Granite Quarried?
It’s primarily sourced from China, with key quarries in Fujian (e.g., Pingnan) and Jilin. The original G654 quarry closed in 2018, but alternatives like Cambodia’s C654 offer similar quality at competitive prices.
How Do I Choose a Sesame Black Granite Supplier?
Look for: Quarry Ownership: Ensures quality control. Samples: Verify speckle pattern and color. Certifications: ISO or test reports for durability. Experience: Suppliers with a long track record. Request quotes and compare production capabilities for large orders.
