Technical properties

Internal quality control and full traceability

Our experienced block inspectors in our quarries are able to identify the smallest flaws, using skills and intuition developed over a number of years. They categorise the blocks into different colour and quality levels, making sure that the right colour and quality will be available for different purposes.

When we extract a block of stone from our quarries, we give them a unique block number. This number is traceable all the way from the quarry to the end product, ensuring that you get the perfect colour and quality level.

When you purchase a Lundhs Real Stone worktop from one of our recommended suppliers, you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity with the unique block number.

Our experienced quality controllers are inspecting the colour and quality of the raw stone blocks.
