In parts of the world where natural stone is available and accessible, it is a popular choice for building material. As an alternative to natural stone, manufacturers have developed beautiful manufactured stone products, 更轻的, 更强的, 更便宜的, and easier to customize and produce.
Whether quarried or cast, stone products must comply with modern building codes, 标准, 和规格, which can require the support of a qualified stone testing laboratory.
Natural and manufactured stone testing services
im体育APP evaluates your natural and manufactured stone products to meet building codes, 质量保证规范, im体育平台app下载, and regulatory 标准. Our stone testing services include the following 标准:
