Capability
Manufacturing
Processing, finishing, inlay and mosaic — the stage where a block becomes something a building or a person can use.
Overview
Manufacturing is where our machine capability and our hand capability meet. CNC and waterjet do the work that has to repeat perfectly; carvers and inlay artisans do the work that no machine can be told how to do.
Everything is inspected before it is packed, and export packing is treated as part of manufacturing rather than an afterthought — most stone damage happens in transit, not in production.
01
Processing & Finishing
From block to finished, packed piece — cutting, shaping, surface finishing and quality control.
- Block cutting
- Slab cutting and calibration
- Cut-to-size production
- CNC machining
- Waterjet cutting
- Hand carving
- Edge profiling
- Polishing
- Honing
- Brushing and leathering
- Sandblasting
- Antique and chiselled finishing
- Flaming and bush-hammering
- Assembly and dry-fitting
- Quality control inspection
- Export packaging
02
Inlay & Mosaic
Pietra Dura and mosaic work, hand-cut and flush-set so the finished surface reads as one plane.
- Pietra Dura inlay
- Marble inlay
- Stone inlay
- Mosaic work
- Waterjet mosaic
- Floor inlay medallions
- Wall inlay panels
- Tabletop inlay
- Furniture inlay
- Decorative panels
- Custom stone artwork
- Semi-precious stone setting
03
Quality & Packing
The checks and the crate design that decide whether the piece arrives in the condition it left in.
- Dimensional check against shop drawing
- Finish consistency across a run
- Dry assembly of multi-piece packages
- Numbering and installation sequencing
- Fumigated timber crating
- Foam and edge protection
- Steel frames for heavy single pieces
- Photographic record before sealing
How it runs
The sequence, start to finish
- 01
Block in
Graded blocks arrive from the quarry and are matched to the order.
- 02
Primary cutting
Gang saw or block cutter reduces the block to slabs or blanks.
- 03
Shaping
CNC, waterjet, profiling and hand carving bring each piece to drawing.
- 04
Surface finishing
Polish, hone, brush, sandblast, flame or antique — to specification.
- 05
Assembly and QC
Multi-piece work is dry-fitted, checked and numbered.
- 06
Packing
Crated for the actual journey, with a photographic record before sealing.
