Guidance

Handling, fabrication and care.

Delivery, handling and storage

Slabs ship crated and braced for sea freight. Store vertically on A-frames, out of direct sun, and allow material to acclimatise to site conditions before fabrication. Full handling instructions accompany each consignment.

Fabrication

Cutting, edge profiling and cut-out details vary by material and thickness. Fabrication guidance — including recommended tooling, cut-out radii and support requirements — is issued with the technical submittal for the approved specification.

Installation

Substrate preparation, adhesive selection, movement joints and tolerances should follow the guidance issued for the specific material and application. Contact us before finalising the installation detail on large continuous floor areas.

Cleaning and maintenance

Routine cleaning requirements differ between quartz, engineered marble and terrazzo, and between finishes within each material. A care schedule for the specified finish is provided for inclusion in the O&M manual.

Warranty and certification

To confirm
Warranty terms and current certifications are issued in writing at order confirmation.

Documentation

Request the full submittal.

Datasheets, test reports, care schedules and CAD details are issued directly to the design team against a named project, so you always receive the revision that applies to your specification.
