From Quarry to Masterpiece: The Sarhan Production Process
The journey from raw stone to premium marble and granite is a multi-step process requiring precision, expertise, and dedication. Here’s how Sarhan ensures excellence at every stage!
Step 1: Quarrying
Our story begins in Egypt’s renowned quarries, where some of the world’s finest marble and granite originate. Sustainability is a core value at Sarhan, and we encourage our quarrying-partners to be environmentally responsible with their methods to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.
- Stone Selection: We carefully choose blocks of Sinai Pearl, Galala Classic, Sunny Nour, and other iconic Egyptian stones for their unique veining, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
- Technology and Safety: Modern machinery and rigorous safety protocols ensure precise extraction while protecting both workers and the environment.
Step 2: Block Transport and Preparation
The extracted stone blocks are transported to our factory, where they are prepared for cutting and finishing.
- Inspection: Each block undergoes a detailed quality check to ensure it meets our stringent standards.
- Sustainability in Action: Any excess material is repurposed for smaller products, minimizing waste.
Step 3: Precision Cutting
Cutting is where raw stone begins its transformation into usable slabs, tiles, or custom shapes.
- Advanced Equipment: High-tech saws cut massive blocks into precise slabs.
- Standardisation: Our team tailors the cutting process to meet majority client requirements for thickness and dimensions.
Step 4: Surface Finishing
Finishing brings out the natural beauty of the stone while preparing it for its intended application. Sarhan offers a variety of finishes:
- Polissage: A high-gloss finish that enhances the stone’s patterns and veining, ideal for interiors.
- Ponçage: A matte finish for modern, understated elegance.
- Sandblasted and Bush-Hammered: Textured finishes for outdoor and non-slip surfaces.
- Tumbled, Brushed and Antique: Rustic finishes that add character to any design.
Step 5: Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory, it undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets international standards.
- What We Test: Uniformity, dimensions, thickness, finish consistency, and structural integrity.
- Certifications: Apart from our ISO 9001:2015 certification, our products comply with global benchmarks, ensuring they’re export-ready for markets worldwide.
Step 6: Custom Fabrication
For clients with unique needs, Sarhan specializes in creating custom products like sinks, basins, and decorative stonework. Our artisans combine traditional handcrafting techniques with modern tools to achieve stunning results.
