Natural Stone Quality Inspection  

Natural stone demand is increasing among property owners across the world. The use of different natural stone products is expanding and even changing with innovation. But not every natural stone installation turns out perfect.

Natural Stone Quality Inspection  

Granite and marble suppliers need to comply with a number of factors to ensure each product matches the space it is made for. It is also important to work according to customer requirements, their design taste, and the specifications of the application. All of these potential challenges have only one solution. And that is a thorough quality inspection and quality assurance process.

Quality Plays an Instrumental Role

Be it granite tile or marble tiles, for instance, each quarried stone is unique. The quality of the stone sourced for a particular project plays an instrumental role. It decides how the stone will look and perform after the finished installation. It also determines how it will look and perform ten years later.

Quality Marble Experts

Quality marble experts take into account all of the above factors before delivering the final product for every project.

Quarry Site Selection

For large-scale project, a location in our quarry with immense mining capabilities that satisfy exact project specifications is selected. This ensures that material will be consistent, uniform, fresh, variation free, crack-free, fissure-less and six sides dressed dimensional stone blocks. Then, the latest mechanical mining methods are implemented that adhere to environment-friendly quarrying practice with minimum resource wastage. The quarrying is done in line with the government regulations, guidelines of respective departmental regulatory authorities and international industry standards.

Ensuring Uniformity in the Texture

The choice of the stone blocks is done as per control samples. The mining was carried out from pre-identified pits and walls to minimize the scope of natural variations. These include consistency in color and uniformity in the texture of the final product.

Precise Cutting

At the production site, the huge blocks were cut into smaller stone slabs of precise thickness. Thanks to our fully automatic block processing machines including gang saw and multi cutter. The results were achieved with stringent accuracy norms for zero variation and zero-defect in stone surfaces.

World-class Finishing

The right finish on the stone surface not just enhances its beautiful look but also its functionality. Stone producers employ automatic machines for the fast production of world-class finishes as per the highest international standards. Each finish shall be flawless in every way for minimum rejection at the final quality control point.

Cut to Size

The cuts given to each marble flooring tile, for instance, hugely contribute to the design aesthetics of a space. Using Tile Cutting machines, which provides perfect cuts leads to almost zero diagonal variation. 

CNC-Waterjet Machines

To produce complicated designs including floral and geometrical patterns, CNC-Waterjet Machines are employed. This ensured high-end final finishing to ease out any rough edges or finishes.

Various Approaches Considering Applications

The dimensions of stones made for interiors such as granite floor tiles are different from the ones used in the exteriors. For the outdoor landscape, extra-thick stones are required. These include cobbles, kerbs, and pavers. These stones are fabricated on specially designed cutting machines for accurate and fast production of desired dimensions. Also, considering the outdoor conditions, the stones are made slip-resistant and frost resistant.

Waterproofing/Sealing

Waterproofing is a process that involves extracting the internal moisture from the stone and making it resistant to atmospheric moisture. Only trained and skilled waterproofing agents can perform the operation using the latest techniques and chemicals from industry-leading manufacturers.

Quality Control at Every Point

Supervisory stone experts usually conduct strict quality control at every point of production. From sorting to assessing each piece and rejecting the ones that do not meet the highest standards. Throughout the process of entry and exit of materials in every machine, the materials were examined for quality.

Packaging and Unloading

When the final product is ready, packaging is carried out in the most responsible manner. Each packaged product is usually clearly marked as per customer-specified instructions. It assures zero breakage during transit and unloading at the destination. 

Final Statement

One of the main goals when it comes to tile and marble or granite installation is to make sure that the tile and/or stone are installed in the most beneficial way and at the highest quality. Your tile and stone installation needs to go smoothly to ensure that everyone involved with the project is happy and satisfied.
