What are the fabrication, handling, and support guidelines for 7 mm quartz slabs, including ITALIC Ultralight™?

Fabrication & Handling Guidelines for 7 mm Quartz Slabs

ITALIC Ultralight™ 7 mm quartz slabs are engineered for reduced weight applications, surface continuity, and vertical installations.

Due to the reduced thickness, fabrication and installation practices should account for the following:

  • Store and transport slabs vertically with full, even support.
  • Maintain continuous substrate support for horizontal applications.
  • Reinforcement or approved backing materials may be required depending on span and load conditions.
  • Avoid unsupported overhangs or load-bearing applications without proper support design.
  • Large-format, specialty, or commercial installations may require engineering review.

Installation parameters should be determined based on substrate construction and support design.
