Information & Specs
Natural Stone
Any kind of stone which has been harvested from its original place of deposition in the earth, then cut and machined into final products without alteration to the internal fabric of the material.
For millions of years, a combination of heat and pressure created blocks of natural stone, including granite, marble, travertine, limestone, and slate. As the earth’s crust began to grow and erode, it pushed minerals up from its core, forming massive rock deposits, which we refer to as “quarries”.
Our natural stone, tiles and pavers cut from blocks of stone extracted from quarries around the world. These blocks of stone are cut into slabs by block cutters and water-cooled gang saws. Each slab is then produced based on its required surface finish, cut into various thicknesses and sizes. In the end, this process will offer final product of natural stones with timeless authentic beauty
Marble
Marble is a metamorphic stone formed when limestone is subjected to intense heat, pressure and chemical solutions, causing the stone to reform into an interlocking structure of calcite, aragonite, and sometimes dolomite crystals.
Marble formed from very pure limestone is white, but the presence of other minerals, as well as clay, silt and sand, can give it richly varied coloration.
Sintered Stone
Sintered stone is a type of custom-made stone made from a mixture of natural minerals, such as quartz and feldspar, and pigments. The mixture is then compressed and heated at extremely high temperatures, up to 1200°C, resulting in a dense, durable material that is resistant to scratches, stains, and heat.
Limestone
Limestone is sedimentary rocks composed of calcium carbonate, plus calcium and/or magnesium.
It is formed when layers of minerals (particularly calcite), fine sediment, and the skeletons and shells of marine organisms undergo lithification. Terrestrially-formed limestone is known as travertine.
Basalt
Basalt is a term that refers to sedimentary rocks, like sandstone or limestone that appear blue-grey in colour. When wet or freshly cut, balast usually appears grey, however, it’s also available in many other colours.
Terrazzo
Terrazzo is a composite material, poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and wall treatments. It consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other suitable material, poured with a cementitious binder (for chemical binding), polymeric (for physical binding), or a combination of both.
Slate/Flagstone
Slate is metamorphic deposits that evolves from sedimentary rock consisting of clay or volcanic ash.
While typically composed of numerous minerals, the predominant constituents include quartz and muscovite.
