How Engineered Stone Flooring is Crafted

Engineered stone flooring, also known as composite stone or agglomerate stone, combines natural stone aggregates with a binding resin to create a durable and versatile flooring material. This innovative blend offers a wide range of aesthetic options and practical benefits, making it a popular choice for modern interiors.

Raw Materials Selection

The journey of engineered stone flooring begins with the careful selection of raw materials. Archview Flooring sources high-quality natural stone aggregates such as marble, quartz, granite, or limestone. These materials are chosen for their durability, color variety, and unique veining patterns that lend character to each tile or slab.

Mixing and Binding Process

Once selected, the natural stone aggregates undergo a meticulous mixing process. At our state-of-the-art facilities, these aggregates are combined with a precise amount of polymer resin. This resin acts as a binding agent, ensuring uniformity and structural integrity throughout the flooring material.

Color Pigmentation and Design Integration

One of the distinguishing features of engineered stone flooring is its customizable design options. During production, color pigments and dyes are carefully added to the mixture, allowing for a broad spectrum of hues and patterns. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of marble-like veining or the contemporary appeal of solid colors, engineered stone offers endless possibilities to complement any décor style.

Compression and Curing

Once mixed to perfection, the engineered stone blend undergoes a compression process. This process involves subjecting the mixture to high-pressure conditions, compacting the materials tightly together. Following compression, the flooring material is cured under controlled conditions to ensure optimal strength and stability.

Cutting and Finishing

After curing, the solidified engineered stone slabs or tiles are precision-cut into desired dimensions. Our skilled craftsmen at Archview Flooring utilize advanced cutting technologies to achieve accuracy and consistency in size. The edges are meticulously finished to create smooth, seamless transitions between tiles or slabs.

Quality Inspection and Packaging

At Archview Flooring, quality is paramount. Each batch of engineered stone flooring undergoes rigorous inspection protocols to verify dimensional accuracy, color consistency, and overall quality standards. Once approved, the finished tiles or slabs are carefully packaged to protect them during transportation and installation.
