Basalt Flemish

A seamless stone texture with basalt arranged in a flemish pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1822 x 1257 mm (71.7 x 49.5 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 400 x 100 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

Basalt is a distinctive, dark natural stone used commonly within architecture and construction. While historically used as a crushed aggregate material in roads, concrete, and railways, basalt has also become popular as a slab or panel of choice in the construction of buildings, due to its fine grain and dark complexion. Basalt is therefore commonly used in cladding for external facades, or in a polished form for floor tiles, surfaces, or monuments.

This texture uses a flemish pattern, which comes from the Flemish bond used brick construction. The Flemish bond alternates between stretchers which are full width units, and headers which are half width units along each row. The headers in each course are centred on the stretchers below.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
