Supply. Fabrication.
Installation.
We import travertine and marble from the quarries, hold stock in Dubai, cut and finish it at our own factory in Sharjah, and install it on site with our own crew — one contract from the block to the finished floor.
From the quarry block to the finished floor
Our services
Four stages · one contract
01Supply
Travertine, marble, quartzite, onyx and limestone — from our own stock in Dubai or brought in from the quarry to order. You choose from the actual slab, not a sample card.
02Drawings
Shop drawings and setting-out: slab layouts, vein matching, cutting lists and joint positions agreed before a single piece is cut.
03Fabrication
Our own 20,000 sq ft factory in Sharjah — cutting, calibration and finishing, from bookmatched walls to mitred edges, solid pieces and turned work.
04Installation
Our own crew on site, not subcontractors — so the company that supplied the stone is the company that hands over the finished surface.

What we can do for you
Stock on the ground
Slabs you can come and see today, photographed bundle by bundle with measured sizes — no waiting for a vessel, no catalogue pictures standing in for the real thing.
See what is in stock →Cargo on the way
Containers already loaded and sailing, shown block by block, so material can be reserved before it lands.
See arriving cargo →Brought in to order
Material we do not hold but supply on request. Quantities and slab sizes are confirmed against the quarry block at the time of order.
See the order catalogue →Completed projects
Villas and residences across Dubai and Abu Dhabi — floors, staircases, bathrooms and feature walls, photographed in place after installation.
See our projects →Mosaic & decorative tile
Marble mosaic cut and set by hand, held at our Dubai showroom, with a separate live stock list of patterns and stones.
See mosaic & tile →How we work
Pick what you need on this site — by material or by bundle number — tell us the area, and we convert it into whole slabs and come back with a quotation.
Slab sizes are nominal; every slab is measured on despatch. Quantities are subject to prior sale.
Not sure what you need yet?Send us the area in square metres and where the stone is going. We will tell you what fits and what it costs.
Inside the factory
Cutting, calibration and finishing happen on our own floor in Sharjah — 20,000 sq ft, our own people, our own machines.
Filmed at our factory in Sharjah.
Containers landing, slabs coming off the truck, bookmatched walls going up on site — we post the material before it reaches the catalogue. If you want first sight of a block, that is where it appears.

| What | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| In stock, Dubai | Immediate | Slabs standing in our yard — collect the same day or we deliver. |
| Brought in from Turkey | ~25 days | By road, door to door. One truck carries roughly 400 m². |
| By sea | 40–50 days | Cheaper freight, much slower. We are not loading by sea at the moment. |
| Mosaic & decorative tile | 7–9 weeks | Production time for made-to-order patterns. Held stock ships immediately. |
Indicative only. Fabrication and installation are quoted per project once the drawings are agreed — ask us and we will give you a date for your scope.
Working with the material
Thickness & weight
Slabs are 2 cm as standard; 3 cm on request for worktops and heavy traffic.
Allow roughly 54 kg per m² at 2 cm for marble and around 48 kg per m² for travertine. Confirm dead loads with your engineer before cladding.
Bathrooms
Marble and travertine both work in wet areas — the issue is not water but what is used to clean them.
Seal before grouting, keep descalers and acidic cleaners away, and expect a honed finish to hide water marks better than a polished one.
Facades
Travertine is the traditional choice and handles the Gulf climate well. Use filled slabs outdoors, and a mechanical fixing system rather than adhesive alone.
Darker stone gains a lot of heat in direct sun — worth thinking about on a west elevation.
Stairs & floors
Polished stone is beautiful and slippery. On stairs, around pools and in entrances we recommend honed, brushed or leathered finishes, or a bush-hammered nosing.
Ask for the slip rating if the project has to satisfy a specification.
Sealing
Use an impregnating (penetrating) sealer, not a surface coating — it lets the stone breathe. Apply after installation and before grouting.
Re-apply on kitchen tops roughly once a year, on floors every two to three.
What to avoid
Marble, travertine, limestone and onyx are calcium based, so acid etches them: lemon, vinegar, wine, descaler and most bathroom sprays leave dull marks.
Clean with a pH-neutral product. Quartzite is far more resistant if a client insists on a hard-working surface.
General guidance, not a specification. For a particular stone in a particular position, ask us — we will tell you what we would and would not do.

Separate catalogueNatural stone mosaic and decorative tile, held at our Dubai showroom. Each piece is sawn from a marble block, calibrated, finished honed or polished, then set by hand onto mesh so it lays like a tile — which is why veining and tone shift from sheet to sheet.
