Quality Control
Quality Control for Every Natural Stone Order
Selection, dimensions, thickness, finish and packaging are checked before shipment so that the order meets the confirmed specification.
Every natural stone project requires consistency. Product selection, dimensions, surface finish and packaging are important parts of preparing an order for international projects. This page describes the checks we carry out and what they cover.
Quality Control
Material Selection
Material is selected against the confirmed order. Selection focuses on the product type and the general character required for the project, so that the material prepared reflects what was specified.
Quality Control
Colour Selection
Natural stone varies in tone, and colour selection is used to keep a batch as coherent as the material allows. Because the material is natural, absolute uniformity should not be expected — variation is inherent to stone.
Quality Control
Dimension Checking
Dimensions are checked against the confirmed order specification. This covers the cut sizes required for the project and any specific formats agreed during quotation.
Quality Control
Thickness Checking
Thickness is checked against the agreed specification. Thickness tolerance expectations should be discussed during quotation so that they are documented before production begins.
Quality Control
Surface Inspection
Surfaces are inspected for condition, including visible damage or defects that would affect the finished installation. Natural surface variation, pitting and grain are characteristics of the material rather than defects.
Quality Control
Finish Inspection
The selected finish is checked against the order specification so that the supplied finish matches what was agreed for the project.
Quality Control
Packaging Inspection
Packing is inspected before loading. Packaging condition, protection and marking are checked so that the order is ready for international transit.
Quality Control
Loading Preparation
Before loading, the order is reviewed against the specification and packing is confirmed as ready. Loading is then planned for stability and efficient use of container capacity.
FAQ
Quality Control — Frequently Asked Questions
What does quality control cover?
Quality control covers material and colour selection, dimensions, thickness, surface condition, finish and packaging inspection before shipment.
Can I request inspection records?
Inspection and loading photographs can be discussed as part of order preparation. Let us know what records you require when placing the order.
Do you provide laboratory test data?
Technical test data such as density, water absorption or strength is provided only where valid data is available for the specific product and order. Test data is not published otherwise.
Are your products certified?
We do not claim ISO, laboratory or international certification unless it can be verified for the specific order. Where certification exists, it is provided on request.
How are colour variations handled?
Natural stone varies in tone. Colour selection keeps a batch as coherent as the material allows, and buyers should expect natural variation across the order.
