Yes. Pieces may be numbered according to approved installation drawings.

Can crates be organised by floor or project area?

Yes. Packaging may be coordinated by building, floor, room, elevation, pool, terrace or installation sequence.

Can smaller crates be prepared for restricted sites?

Yes. Maximum crate dimensions and weights should be agreed before production.

Can private-label products be supplied?

Yes. Buyer product names, codes, labels, barcodes and packaging may be coordinated.

Can mixed-product containers be prepared?

Yes. Compatible tiles, slabs, pavers, coping, cladding and custom pieces may be combined.

Can slabs and crates be loaded together?

This may be possible depending on A-frame positions, crate dimensions, weight and unloading plans.

How much limestone fits in a container?

Capacity depends on product weight, thickness, packaging, container type and transport limits.

Why may a container not be physically full?

Natural stone is heavy, so legal weight limits may be reached before all available volume is used.

How is limestone packaged?

Products may be packed in reinforced crates, pallets, A-frames and custom protective supports.

Can production photographs be supplied?

Production, dry-layout, packing and loading photographs may be supplied according to the agreed process.

Can independent inspection be arranged?

Yes. Inspection scope, timing, acceptance criteria and costs should be agreed in advance.

Can technical test data be supplied?

Available data depends on the selected limestone and required test methods.

Does one test report cover every product?

No. Suitability may depend on thickness, dimensions, finish, exposure and installation.

Is limestone waterproof?

No. Limestone is porous and does not replace waterproofing or drainage.

Does sealing make limestone frost proof?

No. Sealing does not replace correct material selection, testing, drainage and installation.

Does sealing make limestone salt proof?

No. Sealing cannot eliminate all risks from marine salt, road salt or pool chemicals.

Is limestone acid resistant?

No. Limestone may be etched by acids such as vinegar, citrus and acidic cleaners.

How should limestone be cleaned?

Use pH-neutral products intended for natural stone and avoid aggressive acidic cleaning.

Can limestone be pressure washed?

Controlled pressure may be suitable for some exterior surfaces, but the method should be tested first.

Who is responsible for import compliance?

The importer or buyer should confirm customs, tax, documentation and destination-market requirements.

Can DMR Limestone coordinate freight?

Freight coordination may be provided according to the agreed quotation and commercial terms.

Can products be delivered to a warehouse or project site?

Delivery options depend on the destination, customs clearance, inland transport, access and unloading requirements.

Who unloads the limestone?

Unloading responsibility depends on the agreed delivery terms. Suitable equipment should be arranged.

Should spare limestone be ordered?

Yes. Spare material from the original production batch is strongly recommended.

Can replacement pieces be produced later?

Yes, but future quarry blocks may not match the original shipment exactly.
