What has to travel with it

CE marking under the EU harmonised standards, with a Declaration of Performance per batch. German specifiers generally want more than the minimum: slip resistance classification for floors, frost resistance to EN 12371 for anything external, and flexural strength on the actual stone rather than a family range. For the stone you select we arrange water absorption, flexural strength and abrasion tests at an accredited laboratory.

04 — Questions

Buying from Egypt, into Germany

How is slip resistance handled?

On the finish you intend to use. Slip resistance is a property of the surface treatment, not the stone, so tell us whether it is honed, brushed, flamed or bush-hammered, and the classification your project has to reach.

Can the stone be tested for a specification?

Family ranges are published on every stone page so you can size a design early. For the stone you select we arrange water absorption, flexural strength and abrasion tests at an accredited laboratory.

Can you hold colour across a phased project?

For the high-volume beiges, yes — block production is deep enough to match deliveries over a year or more. We reserve blocks against the programme.

Quoting for Germany?

Send the stone, the finish, the thickness, the quantity and the destination port. You get FOB and CIF prices and a lead time, usually within one working day.
