FORUSTONE Marbre Calacatta : Un flux de travail et une assurance qualité OEM éprouvés pour les projets mondiaux

What Makes Calacatta Marble So Unique

Material Composition and Visual Traits

• Distinct white background with dramatic grey or gold veining.

• High calcite purity (>98%) gives translucence and natural glow.

• Polishes exceptionally well for mirror-like surfaces.

Why Architects and Designers Choose Calacatta

• Symbol of luxury and timeless European craftsmanship.

• Ideal for murs caractéristiques, bathroom vanitieset statement countertops.

• Performs better than softer Carrara marbles under commercial use.

From Quarry to Project — The Journey of Calacatta Slabs

Step 1 — Quarry & Block Selection

FORUSTONE engineers visit the quarry for in-person block approval. Vein orientation, tonality, and structural integrity are verified before cutting.
Key Parameters:

• Vein pattern uniformity

• Moisture content and fissure control

Step 2 — Slab Cutting and Calibration

Diamond gang saws slice blocks into uniform slabs (18–30 mm). Calibration ensures consistent thickness and surface tension.

Step 3 — Resin Reinforcement & Polishing

Vacuum resin technology seals micro-cracks; slabs are polished, honed, or leathered.

Step 4 — The Three QC Gates (CR / MA / MI)

1. Pre-cut inspection (CR): color and vein validation.

2. Mid-production audit (MA): edge, warp, and gloss level checks.

3. Pre-shipment inspection (MI): AQL 2.5–4.0 sampling, moisture tests, and crate sealing.

Step 5 — Packing and Container Loading

Each slab is assigned a QR code linking to its production record, photos, and crate number.

Expert Insights Calacatta’s

Designer Perspective

“Calacatta’s strength lies in its predictability — FORUSTONE’s batch consistency allows precise bookmatching even across phases.”
- Aria Kim, Interior Architect, Seoul

Importer Feedback

“The three-gate QC system saves weeks of dispute time. Everything’s documented and traceable.”
- Marble Distributor, Dubai

Technical Viewpoint

“Moisture control and VGM accuracy reduce container damage rates below 0.2%.”
- Chen Wei, FORUSTONE QC Director

Questions fréquemment posées

Q1: How much overage should I order for bookmatching?
Généralement 7–12% depending on pattern alignment and on-site trimming.

Q2: Do I need factory pre-sealing?
Yes. FORUSTONE applies vapor-permeable sealers ideal for honed and leathered finishes.

Q3: Which Incoterm should first-time importers choose?
Start with FOB for control; shift to CIF/DDP for simplicity as experience grows.

Q4: How do I verify moisture control before shipping?
Request pre-shipment photos with desiccant placement and tilt indicator activation.

Why the FORUSTONE Method Works

Bulk marble supply doesn’t have to be unpredictable. When QC, OEM, and logistics function as one workflow, you get a zero-defect system.
FORUSTONE’s Calacatta line represents repeatable precision — not luck.
