Products Manufacturing Process

Horizon stone surfaces meet exacting standards of excellence from the initial procurement of raw materials to the final quality control check. Highly skilled and trained staff members ensure the quality of a product that is unrivaled in the industry today. The manufacturing process begins with a rigorous inspection of all incoming raw materials. These are blended at a ratio of up to 93% natural quartz aggregates with pigments and polymer resins. Horizon stone Quartz Surfaces and Countertops are manufactured through a highly automated, yet strictly monitored process that includes the following:

Feeding & Mixing

Raw materials are inspected, then fed into mixers and blended together.

Molding

The mixture is then poured into a mold and formed into slab sizes of 330x190 cm or 129x 75inches.

Pressing

The slab is then compacted by a special vacuum and vibration process at a pressure of 100 tons.

Curing

The slabs are moved to the curing kiln and heated to 90ºC for 8 hours which gives them the ultimate strength and solidity.

Polishing

Slabs are then gauged, calibrated and polished to a perfect finish in a wide range of colors and designs in one of our three textural surface finishes: Polished, Honed, or Textured.

Quality Assurance

Finally, the slabs pass through quality inspection to ensure our customers receive a top quality product.

Labeling

Each slab is then marked and labeled with all relevant information.
