This is the whole process of production from natural stone block cutting to polishing stage, into finished products of slabs and marble tiles in any size. Erdem Mermer implement 3 shift for production time schedule to reach and fulfilled the high demand from the market.
The Cutting Process
At first, the block is classified by the shape and the size, and then cut by a gang saw or block cutter into slabs.
The Polishing Process
The slab is calibrated in order to make the surface smooth, even and straight flat, and also to achieve the desired thickness. After then, one or both sides of the slab will be polished.
