Product Detail
Sea Wave Granite Slab - Grey Granite with Water Wave Pattern from China
Sea Wave (浪花白) is a natural granite quarried in China, prized for its grey base and warm white figure with an evenly distributed water wave pattern. The stone's name captures its essence: a cool grey foundation crossed by soft, wave-like movement that evokes the surface of the sea. This distinctive pattern makes every slab a natural composition, ideal for outdoor paving, exterior wall cladding, pool surrounds, and landscape features where all-weather durability meets understated character. Apexstone supplies full-size Sea Wave slabs cut from select Chinese quarry blocks for residential, hospitality, and commercial projects worldwide.ide.

What Makes Granite Different from Marble and Limestone
Granite is an igneous rock formed by the slow cooling of magma deep underground, giving it a dense, crystalline structure that is harder and more durable than marble or limestone. Sea Wave granite typically has a density of 2.6-2.8 g/cm³, water absorption below 0.3%, Mohs hardness of 6-7, and compressive strength of 150-250 MPa. These values place it among the hardest natural building stones, making it ideal for outdoor paving, exterior cladding, pool copings, and high-traffic surfaces that must withstand freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and heavy foot traffic.
Full-size Sea Wave slabs - the evenly distributed water wave pattern creates a consistent, natural surface.
Slab Grading and Selection
Apexstone grades each Sea Wave block at the quarry using two criteria: pattern consistency (how evenly the water wave figure is distributed) and base tone (how uniform the grey background is across the slab). Grade A Premium slabs have a consistent grey base with evenly distributed warm white wave pattern, ideal for feature walls, pool surrounds, and book-matched installations. Grade B Commercial slabs have moderate pattern variation and slight base tone differences, suitable for paving and cladding where the stone is one of many surfaces.

Slab detail - the water wave pattern creates a natural, organic surface suitable for outdoor applications.
Surface Finishes
Polished: A high-gloss finish that deepens the grey base and amplifies the water wave contrast. Suitable for feature walls, tabletops, and interior surfaces where a reflective sheen is desired.
Honed: A smooth, matte finish that softens the pattern and provides slip resistance. The standard choice for outdoor paving, pool surrounds, and bathroom surfaces.
Flamed: A textured, rough finish created by high-temperature flame treatment. Provides maximum slip resistance and a natural, weathered look ideal for outdoor paving, driveway pavements, and exterior cladding.
Brushed: A directional texture that adds tactile interest while retaining a muted pattern. Suitable for garden steps, walkways, and feature walls.
Slab polishing - the high-gloss finish deepens the grey base and amplifies the water wave pattern.
Gang-Saw Cutting and Processing
Each Sea Wave slab is cut from select Chinese quarry blocks using gang-saw technology with chilled water and steel-shot abrasive. The slabs are then dried, inspected for fractures and pattern distribution, and processed through polishing, honing, flaming, or brushing lines depending on the specified finish. For outdoor applications, flamed or honed finishes are recommended for slip resistance and weather durability.

Slab cutting - raw blocks are sliced at controlled thickness for outdoor paving and cladding applications.
Block cutting - raw Chinese quarry blocks are mounted on the gang-saw for slab production.
Why Choose Apexstone for Sea Wave Granite?
Apexstone has supplied natural stone to projects in 42 countries since 2002. Our Sea Wave granite slabs are sourced directly from Chinese quarries, inspected block-by-block for pattern consistency and base tone, and processed in our Xiamen facility with precision gang-saw cutting, calibrated thickness, and optional surface finishes (polished, honed, flamed, brushed). We provide CAD pre-visualisation, custom panel sizing, edge profiling, and global logistics coordination for B2B importers.
Available slab sizes up to 3000 x 1800 mm (118 x 71 inch). Thickness options: 18 mm (3/4 inch) for standard applications, 20 mm (3/4 inch) for paving and cladding, and 30 mm (1-1/4 inch) for heavy-duty outdoor paving and driveway pavements. Polished finish standard; honed, flamed, and brushed finishes available.
Contact us for slab availability, current pricing, and project-specific customisation. Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by slab size and finish selection.
