Need BLACK BLACK floor tiles

I have a customer (job secured) who requires 15sqm of jet black floor tiles. We have looked at porcelain - which always seems to have a grey/brown tint. Synthetic sparkly stone types which are always too small.

Can anyone suggest anything which they know to be A) Very black B) Not too sparkly/bling and C) minimum 40x40.

Price for this customer is a secondary consideration.

Thanks guys!

(Gaz - I'll be in next week btw!)
 
I worked with a gorgeus 12cmx12cm black procellanato tile last summer. It was jet black with a grafite like luster, albeit completely matt. It was like looking at Black (with a capital b) smoke vitrified into a tile. It was called something like Navigato Nero.

I tiled a bathroom floor with them, and given the aparant quality of the tiles, and that the apartment was up for sale at twice anything else in town, they likely weren't cheap. A guesstimate would be in the region of £50-£80/m2.

Try to track down a HALCON stockist,they make a JET BLACK 40x40 porcelain called ABSOLUTE NERO -good stuff if I remember,didn't even need to seal it..:thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys. In the end I found some Absolute Negro 40x40 at Tile Giant. Customer happy (so far....) :lol:
 
Seen on a heavy metal fan t shirt: "I wear black until I find something darker"...lol
