Slab inspection at the factory covers cracks, size, polish and selection, so that the bundles you receive match what was agreed. Our field team checks the material in Turkey and reports to you with photographs.
We inspect marble, travertine and limestone slabs at the factory before they are bundled and shipped. Every slab is checked for breaks and cracks. Broken slabs are either rejected outright, or the damaged section is trimmed away and the dimensions reduced accordingly.
On slabs with four square corners, 5 cm is deducted from the width and 5 cm from the length. Slabs without four square corners, or with one corner out of square, are measured to an average value. Each slab is measured individually, so the quantities on your packing list match what is actually in the bundle.
The slabs on the front faces of each bundle are checked with a gloss meter and by visual inspection from our field team. Any slab showing waviness or matte patches is removed from the bundle or sent back to be polished again. If the readings are acceptable, the inspection moves to the next stage; if not, the affected slabs are re-polished.
Finished material is inspected against the terms agreed between the factory and you, our valued customer. Colour, vein and finish are compared across the bundle so that the slabs you receive are consistent with the approved selection. A detailed field report and photographs of the selection are sent to you by e-mail.
