Special-shaped Stone FAQ
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for special-shaped stones?
A: Our minimum order quantity for special-shaped stones is 5 square meters or 10 linear meters, depending on the project type. For very complex designs, we may require a slightly higher minimum to offset setup costs.
Q: How do you ensure precision in cutting special-shaped stones?
A: We use advanced CNC stone cutting machines with precision tolerance of ±0.5mm. Each special-shaped stone undergoes three quality control checks: after rough cutting, after shaping, and after final finishing.
Q: Can special-shaped stones be used for exterior applications?
A: Yes, provided the appropriate material is selected. For exterior use, we recommend granite or specially treated limestone with a minimum thickness of 30mm. All exterior special-shaped stones receive additional sealing treatment for weather resistance.
Q: What design files do you accept for custom special-shaped stones?
A: We accept DXF, DWG (AutoCAD), PDF with vector data, or hand-drawn sketches with precise measurements. For complex 3D shapes, we can work with 3D model files in STL or OBJ format.
Installation Considerations
For optimal performance of special-shaped stones:
- Allow 3-5mm expansion joints between pieces
- Use high-quality stone adhesive rated for your specific material
- For exterior installations, ensure proper drainage slope (minimum 2°)
- Heavy pieces (over 30kg) require mechanical lifting equipment
Maintenance Guidelines
