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.
