IT STARTS WITH
Mining the stone
All over the world, people seek out extraordinary natural stones—materials known for their beauty, strength, and one-of-a-kind character. From the rugged quarries of distant regions, blocks of marble, granite and quartzite are mined and carefully transformed into stunning slabs. Through expert cutting and finishing, each piece reveals distinct textures and colors shaped by nature over time. These stones are more than building materials—they’re expressions of craftsmanship and geological history, chosen to elevate spaces with lasting elegance, whether used in outdoor kitchens, interior designs, or architectural features.
Block Extraction
Natural stone blocks are extracted from quarries around the world, where massive sections of marble, granite and quartzite are carefully cut from the earth. Using specialized equipment, workers separate the stone from the quarry face with precision to preserve its integrity. These raw blocks, often weighing several tons, showcase the natural beauty and durability that make them ideal for architectural and design applications.
Block Processing
After extraction from the quarry, the massive 40-ton blocks of marble, granite and quartzite undergo a remarkable transformation. Using advanced multi-diamond wire sawing machines, these raw stones are precisely cut into 2 or 3 cm thick slabs—each revealing the unique veining, color variations, and geological story within. This stage is a critical part of how it’s made, ensuring each slab is both structurally sound and visually stunning.
Slab Processing
Once sliced from quarry blocks, each marble, granite or quartzite slab moves to the next vital step: surface finishing. Using state-of-the-art multi-head polishing machines, these slabs are refined to perfection—enhancing their natural beauty, color depth, and tactile quality. This stage in how it’s made ensures consistency, precision, and a high-end finish that meets the demands of both indoor and outdoor design. Each slab is polished to bring out the richness and detail that only natural stone can provide, delivering both elegance and durability.
COMING TO LIFE
Preparing the stone
Once extracted and cut into slabs, natural stone is shipped in maritime containers and prepared for its final form through advanced manufacturing techniques. Each slab undergoes careful calibration, polishing, and finishing—showcasing the precision and craftsmanship that define high-quality stonework. This stage ensures the stone not only looks beautiful but performs exceptionally in outdoor environments, bringing durability, elegance, and function to outdoor living spaces.
Precision Cutting
Natural stone slabs are cut using state-of-the-art CNC machinery, ensuring exact dimensions and perfectly finished edges. This highly accurate process enhances both the consistency and quality of each piece, supporting superior craftsmanship across architectural and design applications. Precision cutting is essential for achieving seamless integration and long-term performance in the final installation.
The Final Touch
Following precision cutting, each slab of marble, granite and quartzite undergoes a final phase of refinement that brings out its full potential. Expert artisans polish and shape the stone, carefully smoothing edges and enhancing surface luster to highlight the unique veining and textures formed deep within the quarry. This step in how it’s made ensures that every piece meets the highest standards of durability and aesthetic appeal.
BECOMING A REALITY
installing the stone
Once polished and prepared, each slab is carefully transported using specialized equipment designed to protect against damage during handling and delivery. This ensures the stone arrives in perfect condition and is ready for installation. By preserving the integrity of the material throughout the process, installations can move forward smoothly and on schedule, with quality maintained from start to finish.
Flawless Assembly
Professional installation ensures that each stone slab is assembled with precision, minimizing gaps and eliminating unsupported areas to maintain structural integrity. Final adjustments, including cutouts for grills and built-in components, are executed with meticulous attention to detail. This careful approach guarantees a precise fit, reliable performance, and a refined finish throughout the completed outdoor kitchen.
Final Touches
Upon completion of all cutouts and component placements, a thorough quality inspection is conducted to verify precision and consistency across all surfaces. Installers assess the installation for any imperfections, alignment discrepancies, or structural concerns to ensure it meets exacting standards. The stone surfaces are then meticulously cleaned and sealed, eliminating any dust, residue, or tool marks remaining from the fabrication and installation process. This final step enhances both the visual finish and long-term durability of the outdoor kitchen, ensuring a flawless and lasting result.
