Production process

Step 1: First of all, we prepare divider moulds based on the pattern chosen by our customers.

(*) At this step, if our customers want to have a new pattern that is not available in our existing range, we will be able to create new divider mould for new design. This should be done at an additional cost.

Step 2: Colours will be mixed according to our customers’ colour choice. We have a standard range of 50 colours for our customers to choose from. Our customers only need to specify the codes of colours to be used for the chosen patterns.

(*) At this step, if our customers want to have a new colour that is not available in our existing range, we will be able to test new colour. This should be done at an additional cost.

Step 3: Steel mould is prepared and divider mould which creates the tile design will be placed inside the steel mould. 

Step 4: A liquid mixture consisting of white cement, natural marble powder, colour pigment, and additives (to be mixed to the right colour) is poured by hand into the divider frame. Different liquid mixtures will be needed to create different colours in one tile. This is the step of pouring first (face) layer material into the mould. 

Step 5: Divider mould is taken out from steel mould, leaving a layer with design on the surface of mould.  

Step 6: The second layer mixture, a very fine and dry mixture consisting of grey cement and fine sand is put on top of the first layer. The second layer is very thin and has the function of absorbing water from the first layer. 

Step 7: Applying a mixture of sand and cement as the third layer (back layer) till the required thickness of tile is achieved. 

Step 8: All the materials will be pressed by hydraulic pressing machine. Moisture from the liquid colored layer will be absorbed through the dry back layers. Tiles will be pressed twice to have a good strength.

Step 9: Tile has been formed and taken out of the mould. Now, we can see a beautiful tile with pattern and colours.  

Step 10: After the forming stage comes the curing stage. Tiles will be cured under water and then placed on racks for curing at room temperature.

Step 11: After tiles are dried completely, they will be treated with wax to perfect surface of tiles.

Step 12: Tiles will go through serious quality control by checking piece by piece to carefully select really good tiles before packaging and palletizing.
