What has to travel with it

EU harmonised standards apply (EN 12057, EN 12058, EN 1469), and frost resistance to EN 12371 matters here in a way it does not further south: specify it for anything going outside. Tell us at quotation stage what your specification requires. 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 Hungary

Hungarian buyers take beige and cream marble for interiors and hotel refurbishment, and granite for external paving and window sills where the freeze-thaw cycle rules out softer stone. Cut-to-size window sills and stair treads are a steady line — the pieces are small, the tolerances matter, and shipping them finished from Egypt beats cutting them locally.

04 — Questions

Buying from Egypt, into Hungary

How do you handle a landlocked delivery?

We quote DAP Budapest with the sea leg to Koper or Rijeka and the road leg included, so you get one price and one point of responsibility.

Is Egyptian stone frost-resistant enough for Hungarian winters?

Some of it is. The denser granites and the harder beiges pass EN 12371 at 48 cycles; the softer marbles are interior materials. Tell us the exposure and we will only quote what belongs there.

Do you supply cut-to-size window sills?

Yes, finished to your drawings with a drip groove, polished ends and mitred returns, piece-marked against a setting-out plan.

Quoting for Hungary?

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.
