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.
03 — What sells here
Stone that suits Germany
Germany is a technical market. Beige marble goes into hotel and commercial interiors, granite into external paving and facade cladding, and the questions come early and in detail. Buyers who get straight answers about what a stone will and will not do tend to stay.

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.
