DeSantana’s Commitment to Safe and Secure Stone Shipment
At DeSantana, the beauty and integrity of our natural stone products are paramount—and that care extends far beyond the quarry or finishing process. We take exceptional measures to ensure that each piece, regardless of size or weight, arrives at its destination in pristine condition.
Here's how we do it:
-
Secure Strapping & Palletizing: Our stone products are securely strapped to heavy-duty pallets, stabilizing the load for forklift handling and minimizing risk during loading and unloading.Custom Crating
-
Protective Padding: Natural fiber palm strands are used to cushion delicate edges and surfaces. These materials absorb vibrations and protect against abrasions or scratches.
-
Transportation Services: Our transporters are skilled with heavy shipments and the extra care that need to be taken to assure that our stone products arrive safely and undamaged.
Whether destined for a private residence, commercial installation, or international distributor, DeSantana ensures that each piece of stone is packed with the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines our brand.
INSTALLATION
Installing Natural Stone for Lasting Performance
Proper installation is essential to the beauty and long-term performance of natural stone. Because every project and environment is different, installation methods should take into account climate, moisture, drainage, substrate conditions and the specific application.
DeSantana Stone recommends installation by experienced stone professionals familiar with natural stone and the requirements of the individual project.
Important Installation Considerations
SEALING & PROTECTION
Proper sealing can help protect natural stone from moisture, staining and environmental exposure.
MORTAR & GROUT
Mortars, adhesives and grout should be selected specifically for natural stone and the conditions of the installation.
DRAINAGE & WATER EXPOSURE
Fountains, pools and other water features require careful attention to waterproofing, drainage and moisture management.
CLIMATE & LOCATION
Freeze-thaw conditions, coastal salt exposure and other environmental factors should be considered when planning installation.
For detailed installation recommendations, consult a qualified natural-stone installer familiar with your project's materials, location and environmental conditions.
