Description

"Count Red Marble slabs:

colors and variations of the orange Marble slabs displayed in slab yards.

and the orange Marble interior floor tiles fabricated in the factory

1) Basic info

Count Red floor tiles are cut from small size orange Marble blocks, instead of from big size slabs – to save cost. People use 2cm (18mm) or say 3/4 inches thick slabs for living space, foyer or entryway feature wall, accent wall, and fireplace walling panels and hearth slabs. While 1cm or 3/8 inches and 12mm or 1/2 inches thin tiles for kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, shower walls and floors

2) Processing and Machine

Manufacturing Process for Sealed 8" Hexagon/Honed Red-Orange Marble Floor Tiles

From Slab to Finished Product:

Slab Selection & Inspection:

High-quality red-orange marble slabs are selected for consistent color, minimal cracks, and desirable veining. Slabs are cleaned and inspected for defects.

Cutting into Strips:

Machine: Gang saw or wire saw with diamond blades.

Slabs are cut into 8-inch wide strips, slightly oversized to allow for finishing.

Hexagon Shaping:

Machine: CNC bridge saw or waterjet cutter with diamond tooling.

Strips are precision-cut into hexagonal shapes. Waterjet cutting minimizes chipping on edges.

Calibration (Thickness Control):

Machine: Automatic calibrating machine with diamond abrasive heads.

Tiles are ground to a uniform thickness (e.g., 3/8" or 1/2") to ensure flatness and even installation.

Honing (Matte Finish):

Machine: Automated polishing line with progressively finer diamond abrasives (e.g., 400–800 grit).

Tiles are honed to a smooth, non-reflective matte surface. This process enhances slip resistance for floors.

Edge Finishing:

Machine: Edge profiling machine or CNC router.

Hexagon edges are smoothed (eased or micro-beveled) to prevent chipping and ensure safe handling.

Sealing:

Machine: Automated sealer application line (rollers or spray system).

A penetrating sealer is applied to fill pores, enhancing stain resistance. Tiles are dried/cured in UV tunnels or kilns.

Quality Control & Sorting:

Process: Tiles are inspected for color consistency, surface defects, dimensional accuracy (using laser gauges), and sealer coverage. Defective tiles are rejected.

Packaging:

Tiles are separated by shade/lot, foam-wrapped, and boxed with spacers to prevent edge damage.

Key Factors for Quality Assurance

Slab Quality:

Only slabs with uniform color, low porosity, and no structural flaws (cracks, fissures) should be used.

Precision Cutting:

CNC/waterjet machines must maintain tight tolerances (±0.5mm) to ensure seamless hexagon alignment during installation.

Consistent Honing:

Abrasive grit progression must be strictly controlled to avoid uneven matte patches or shine.

Effective Sealing:

Sealer must fully penetrate the stone (tested via water droplet absorption tests). Factory sealing is superior to on-site application for coverage.

Rigorous QC:

Dimensional checks (thickness, side length), surface finish tests (gloss meter for honed uniformity), and slip resistance verification (ASTM C1028).

Handling & Packaging:

Automated handling reduces breakage; packaging must protect fragile edges during transit.

Critical Takeaway:

Quality hinges on precision machinery, skilled operators, and strict process control at every stage-from slab selection to sealing. Always request technical data sheets (porosity, abrasion resistance) and batch samples before bulk purchase.
