Product Specifications & Construction
Our flooring tiles are precision-cut using a cost-effective method that maintains exceptional quality. For substantial flooring applications in living areas, we highly recommend these durable 3cm (approximately 1 1/4 inch) thick slabs. Thinner options (10mm/3/8" or 12mm/1/2") are also available and are typically used for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, and lighter-duty flooring.

Our Commitment to Quality & Natural Character
We pride ourselves on delivering premium natural stone products. Understanding quality expectations is paramount for both our clients and their inspectors. Our rigorous processes ensure every tile celebrates its natural origin while meeting high standards of craftsmanship.
Understanding Natural Stone Variations
Natural marble is a product of the earth. Inherent characteristics like subtle color shading between tiles within the same batch, unique veining patterns that do not affect structural integrity, minor surface pits or crystalline structures are considered part of the stone's authentic beauty—not defects. Calibration thickness may have standard industry tolerances.
Acceptable Tolerances:
- Slight color variation within the approved tonal range.
- Natural veining consistent with provided samples.
- Minor surface characteristics inherent to marble.
- Standard dimensional variances in thickness (±1-2mm).
Unacceptable Defects:
We strictly control flaws that compromise safety, structure, or uniform aesthetics:
- Deep cracks penetrating the tile body.
- Large chips on edges or surfaces affecting installation.
- Significant delamination or voids causing hollow spots.
- Permanent stains or discolorations not part of the natural pattern.
Pre-Dispatch Quality Inspection Checklist
This outlines key verification points conducted at our factory prior to shipment.
Material Verification & Aesthetics
Confirm material authenticity against standard samples.
Verify overall warm grey base tone with creamy/beige veining matches the approved range.
Check veining distribution; flag isolated tiles with major unexpected blotches.
Ensure visual consistency by confirming tiles are from the same production lot.
Dimensional Accuracy & Calibration
Measure thickness against the nominal specification.
Check length and width dimensions per order details.
Verify squareness and flatness; warpage beyond industry norms is rejected.
Surface Finish & Workmanship
Inspect for uniform application of the specified finish (polished/honed/etc.).
Examine for processing flaws: deep scratches, uneven polishing creating dull spots.
Check resin fills common in marble; they must be tight, flush,and reasonably color-matched.
Structural Integrity & Edges
Inspect all edges/corners for processing or potential shipping damage.
Identify hairline fissures typical of marble; reject deep penetrating cracks.
Tap tiles lightly to detect hollow spots indicating delamination.
Packaging & Marking
Verify secure packaging in sturdy crates with proper corner protection.
Confirm packaging corresponds to order details (quantity/size).
Check that grade markings and lot numbers are clearly visible as required.
Transparency builds trust. We conduct multi-point inspections throughout production and welcome professional third-party audits to ensure we deliver exceptional stone that meets your precise specifications.
