Product Overview
Product Overview & Customization Capabilities
Volakas White Marble (Jazz White) is an iconic natural calcite marble quarried in Greece and processed at our Xiamen production facility. Characterized by a bright milky-white calcitic background intersected by grey and taupe diagonal veining, this natural stone offers structural stability for interior architectural applications. Raw blocks are selected directly at source quarries to manage background clarity, vein direction, and crystal density.
To satisfy diverse commercial project budgets and design demands, Xiamen Smarter Stone Co., Ltd. provides flexible slab grading, offering fine, medium, and broad vein variations. Our factory offers complete OEM processing including gang-saw slab cutting, high-gloss surface polishing, cut-to-size tile processing, and custom edge profiling (Eased, Bullnose, Ogee). We execute full factory dry-lay services with sequential piece labeling to guarantee smooth vein transitions across expansive commercial installations.

Quality Control & Inspection Standards
Quality management for Volakas White Marble requires strict control due to inherent calcitic characteristics. Every slab undergoes piece-by-piece inspection under standardized lighting. Our QC engineers verify surface flatness within +/-0.5mm tolerance, inspect edges for micro-fissures or edge chipping, and monitor polish gloss levels to maintain uniform reflection across the order.
To eliminate shade mismatches on job sites, slabs are grouped into controlled color lots based on vein density and background tone. Slabs are wrapped in protective polyethylene film, fitted with corner edge protectors, and secured in ISPM-15 compliant fumigated wooden bundles. Foam padding and heavy-duty steel banding prevent movement during ocean transit.
FAQ
Q: What density and water absorption standards apply to Volakas White Marble installations?
A: Volakas White Marble exhibits a density between 2.68 and 2.72 g/cm³ and water absorption below 0.28% (ASTM C97). Due to its natural calcite composition, impregnating sealer application is mandatory before installation to protect against water penetration and alkaline staining.
Q: How does your factory control veining consistency for large-volume floor or wall orders?
A: We select raw blocks from the same quarry layer and cut them sequentially. Slabs are laid out during factory dry-lay inspection, arranged by vein angle and shade, and coded sequentially so contractors can follow an exact layout map during site installation.
Q: What precautions are taken during factory packing to prevent breakage of 18mm marble slabs?
A: Slabs receive back-mesh reinforcement during polishing. They are packed face-to-face with protective film dividers into heavy-duty ISPM-15 wooden bundles. Internal foam blocks absorb shocks, while external steel straps secure the bundles tightly inside 20ft shipping containers.
