03 — What sells here

Stone that suits the Netherlands

Much of the natural stone sold in the Netherlands comes in through importers who also supply Belgium and Germany, and today it is mostly Italian, Indian and Chinese. Egyptian beige limestone — Galala, Sinai Pearl and Sunny Menia — goes into floors and walls, and Egyptian granite into paving, steps and kitchens, from a shorter sea leg out of Alexandria.

04 — Questions

Buying from Egypt, into the Netherlands

What is the smallest order?

One 20 ft container. Several stones and thicknesses can share it.

Which stones can go outside?

Granite is the safe choice for frost-exposed paving and steps. For any limestone or marble you want outside, we arrange frost and water-absorption tests on the stone you select first.

Can you deliver to site rather than the port?

Yes, on DAP terms. Send the address and any access restriction; stone arrives on A-frames or in crates and needs room to unload.

Quoting for the Netherlands?

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.
