Extraction
Large blocks of marble and granite are extracted from quarries using wire saws or controlled explosives. This process is carefully managed to ensure the blocks are removed with minimal damage and maximum efficiency.
Block Dressing
Once extracted, the blocks are trimmed and squared to prepare them for further processing. This step ensures the blocks are in the proper shape and dimensions for cutting.
Cutting
The dressed blocks are sliced into slabs using high-precision machinery. Marble slabs are generally thinner, while granite slabs are thicker due to the hardness of the material.
Grinding and Polishing
The slabs are ground to smooth their surfaces, followed by polishing to achieve a high-gloss finish. This step enhances the stone’s natural beauty, color, and texture.
Finishing
Edges of the slabs are finished to create the desired profile, and a sealant may be applied to protect the stone from stains, moisture, and wear.
