Storage Tips of Quartz Stone Slabs

While storing quartz stone, please ensure to follow the direction details :

1 quartz stone slabs should be stored vertically on a 150 angle with support at stop and bottom of the steel “A” frame.

2 quartz stone slabs must always be stored in a way that the polished surface is not exposed to the sun. It is necessary to store the slabs in a shaded area, and it is necessary to keep the backside of last slab in each rack is facing out.

3 There should be no more than 20 slabs on each rack. And during storage, the quartz stone slab should not be face-to-face and back-to- back. The polishing face should always be protected and not touching the metal or the back of another slab, etc. Polished edges should be covered by blankets, carpet or any other type of quality padding for protection.

4 Storage temperatures should not exceed 129°F. Tarpaulins can be used to cover slabs stored under direct sunlight.

5 All racking should have a protective layer between the rack and the slabs. This will help to prevent scratching or other damage.

How to Transport the Quartz Stone Slab

While transporting the quartz stone slab, please complied with following directions
completely:

1 Do not transport slabs horizontally and use proper “A” frames. The horizontal storage will put stress on the quartz stone slab and cause the quartz stone to be easy to break.

2 When suction cups or grips are being used, slab should be held low to the ground. Cut-out pieces should be braced to avoid flexing and should be placed at the top of the A-Frame to prevent bearing the load. Similar laminated edges should be top loaded to avoid bearing the load.

3 The slabs should be strapped onto A-Frames to avoid the flexing. Should pay attention to protect the straps from being damaged or cut by the edge of the slab.

4 Carts and dollies should be used when transporting quartz stone slab around the shop.

5 using a forklift or other appropriate lifting device to transport the quartz stone slab and people should not stand between it and the ground.

6 Gloves, Safety Shoes and Glass should be worn while handling transporting quartz stone slab.
