Manufacturing Process
CaesarStone surfaces meet exacting standards of excellence from the initial procurement of raw materials to the final quality control check. Highly skilled and trained staff members ensure the quality of a product that is unrivalled in the industry today. The manufacturing process begins with a rigorous inspection of all incoming raw materials. These are blended at a ratio of up to 93% natural quartz aggregates with pigments and polymer resins. CaesarStone Quartz Surfaces are manufactured through a highly automated, yet strictly monitored process that includes the following:
Feeding & Mixing
Raw materials are inspected, then fed into mixers and blended together.
Molding
The mixture is then poured into a mold and formed into slab sizes of 306x144 cm
Pressing
The slab is then compacted by a special vacuum and vibration process at a pressure of 100 tons.
Curing
The slabs are moved to the curing kiln and heated to 90ºC for 45 minutes which gives CaesarStone its ultimate strength and solidity.
Polishing
Slabs are then gauged, calibrated and polished to a perfect finish in a wide range of colors and designs in one of our three textural surface finishes: Polished, Honed or Viento.
Quality Assurance
Finally, the slabs pass through quality inspection to ensure our customers receive a top quality product.
Labeling
Each slab is then marked and labelled with all relevant information necessary for the smooth operation of fabrication and logistics.
