The Story Behind the Stone: Fabrication

The Story Behind the Stone: Fabrication

Before a stone finds a place in your home, it undergoes a remarkable journey. For natural stones like granite and marble, the journey begins in a quarry and ultimately leads to our showrooms. This article focuses on the crucial final stage of this journey—from our showroom to the fabricator, and then to your residence.

Make Sail aims to deliver quality products to various industries globally. Our commitment is to offer our customers a diverse range of high-value products, and we believe that together we can create a better future.

As an importer and wholesaler specializing in natural stone, quartz, and porcelain, our showrooms feature an extensive array of options. This includes natural stones like granite, marble, quartzite, and soapstone, along with quartz and porcelain. You can choose stones that best suit your aesthetic, project specifications, and budget; for natural stones, we allow you to select the exact slabs for your project. Our collaboration with your fabricator starts as soon as you make your selection.

The fabricating process begins with templating. Let’s consider a kitchen renovation for this discussion. Detailed measurements are taken to determine overall dimensions, such as where the sink cut-out will be located, the sizes for the cooktop and faucet, as well as seam placements where multiple slabs are involved. Any additional unique design elements specific to your kitchen are also noted to ensure your project proceeds smoothly.

Back in the fabrication workshop, a template is used as a guide and laid directly over your selected stone. At this stage, final recommendations are made, and your approval is sought on the layout before starting the cutting process. The cutting might involve industrial diamond-tipped blades or precision water jets, and drills are often utilized to create openings for the faucet. The edges around the sink are then finished to ensure a polished look. If necessary, the stone is sealed after cutting and finishing.

Then comes the exciting part—installation! Careful attention to detail is paramount as your fabricator installs the countertops. Each piece is expertly fitted to ensure accuracy and satisfaction with the finished job. After installation, thorough cleaning and polishing reveal the natural beauty of your new countertops, enhancing the elegance of your kitchen.

Your stone’s journey doesn’t end here. You’ll enjoy the functionality and aesthetics of your kitchen countertops for many years to come, creating precious memories along the way.
