Stone Source

https://stonetileus.com/ / September 5, 2016

Stone Source

Stone Source

Is the open pit for extraction of marble, granite, limestone, and sandstone. The process is done either in the form of: blasting, digging, or cutting. At times, there are issues with drainage even when in level areas with shallow water.

To resolve this issue a clay lined moat is used around the quarry to prevent leaking. Water that gets into the quarry is pumped into the moat.

Many communities consider quarries to be an appearance issue and have problems with noise, and dust. A wheel washing system is now being used in many quarries to control road pollution of vehicles leaving the quarries.

The stone surfaces are finished in a variety of ways: tumbled, split face, brushed, honed, polished and chiseled to name a few.

They are then cut into tiles of various sizes and shapes for multiple uses: like French pattern, mosaics, pavers, moldings, and copings. Then used for floors, walls, back splashes, kitchen, bathroom, Pools, decks, patios, entry ways, docks, borders, driveways, and walkways.

Natural stone that is excavated from the ground has a very durable, beautiful and natural surface, making it desirable. Natural Stone brings value to your home and It can increase a home’s resale price. It also gives a high-class look that appeals to home buyers.

Tile Manufactures

https://stonetileus.com/ / September 4, 2016

Tile Manufactures

SAVE THE MIDDLE MEN FEE. DIRECT FROM OUR OWN QUARRIES AND FACTORY IN TURKEY.

Our materials are imported directly from our own quarries and factories in Turkey. Since we are our own tile manufactures there is no middle-man, we are a direct importer so we are able to offer our customers competitive prices on a high quality product.

We import our stones directly from our own quarries in Turkey and they are shipped to the US by sea via container ships. These container ships carry their load in truck-size intermodal containers. This technique is called containerization. That way, once the vessel arrives, the containers can be offloaded and shipped by land via trucks.

We ROCK! 35 YEARS IN BUSINESS

We have been in business for 35 years. Our Turkey location opened its doors in 1981. Our US store opened its doors in 2005.

QUALITY IS OUR FAVORITE WORD! BUY THE BEST QUALITY STONE IN THE U.S

Our products are produced at our own quarries and factories using the most technologically advanced machines in the natural stone industry. This, coupled with our knowledgeable Quality Control Department which inspects each and every one of the stones before it is exported, guarantees that you will receive a high quality product from us.

SAFE TRAVEL. Your Package is secured.

-After the material leaves the port in Turkey, it takes around 30 days to receive it in the port in the US. Of course, other factors could affect this such as inclement weather and delays at any of the ports on the vessel’s route.

-The tiles are packaged in wooden crates. The crates are secured with plastic straps held with metal clips. The bottom and top of the crates are also protected with polystyrene to prevent chipped corners.

-Some materials are very delicate and they are also packaged in individual boxes that are later crated. Example, the ½” brushed and chiseled Botticino French Pattern is packaged like this. Each individual set is packaged into a box.
