What are the proper handling, storage, and acclimation requirements for engineered quartz slabs before fabrication?

Proper slab handling and storage are essential to help prevent warping, stress fractures, or breakage during fabrication.

Handling, Storage & Acclimation Guidelines:

Store slabs indoors in a dry, temperature-stable environment.
Store slabs vertically on A-frames with even support and appropriate padding.
Avoid direct sunlight, standing water, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Allow slabs to acclimate in the fabrication environment for 24–48 hours prior to cutting.
Use appropriate lifting equipment and established handling procedures.

Following recommended storage and acclimation practices helps maintain slab stability prior to cutting, machining, and installation.
