How should limestone be stored?

Stone should be stored on stable ground, according to crate orientation and with appropriate weather protection.

Can products be stored outdoors?

Some packed products may be stored outdoors temporarily, but protection, drainage, crate condition and moisture should be managed carefully.

How should slabs be handled?

Slabs require suitable A-frame handling, lifting equipment and trained personnel.

What should we do if a crate is damaged?

The condition should be photographed before unloading, documented and reported according to carrier, insurance and commercial procedures.

What should we do if products are damaged?

Record the product code, crate number, quantity, measurements and photographs before installation.

Can damaged pieces be replaced?

Replacement pieces may be produced when accurate information and original production references are supplied.

Can exact colour matching be guaranteed for replacement pieces?

No. Natural material from a later batch may vary.
