We have recently traveled to Na Dang and Non Nuoc Village Situated right at the foot of the Marble Mountains to the southeast of Da Nang City where we have obtained a good working knowledge of Vietnamese Blue Stone, it’s availability, production methods / restrictions and shipping requirements. We have also had the opportunity to view recently installed projects and projects installed over the last decade giving us insight into the stones performance.
With a lot of misinformation from sales teams regarding the availability of Chinese natural stone popular on the Irish market we have recently travelled to China for a first-hand view. With Most of the of quarries for material popular with Irish clients closed permanently for environmental reasons we have secured a supply chain of good quality and sustainable alternatives to G602, G603, G654 and G682 (new G603 pictured)
Samples are been produced and will be available mid September
