[ Technology ] What is Waterjet?
A waterjet is a cutting system that incorporates high pressure water coupled with garnet that pumps through a small nozzle. The machines use 55,000 psi water pressure with a velocity of up to 2,850 feet per second with a minimal kerf. Waterjet cutting services benefit both the industrial client along with the architectural community.

[ Technology ] What is the QUARRY TILE?
Quarry tile production has its ¡°roots¡± in the brick making industry and uses raw material very similar to that used in the manufacture of brick products. ¡°Natural¡± and ¡°durable¡± are the words best used to describe hard-fired - high quality - quarry tiles.
These low absorption tiles are manufactured then hard fired in kilns at temperatures sometimes exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Not all quarry tile is manufactured to such high quality standards as to be considered ¡°vitreous¡± or low absorption.
Metropolitan quarry tile meets this standard. They are suitable for the most demanding installations and are often the tile of choice for areas such as commercial kitchens....More...

[ Technology ] Two functions of a floor or wall covering
The covering to be used on a given wall or floor must serve tow functions: one is an aesthetic function, as a design element; another is a technical function, as a construc-tion material capable of withstanding a range of environmental stresses without breakage or wear.
These two functions are basic and essential; both are indispensable .
The buyer/user know that both these functions can be served , in theory at least, by various types of surface coverings. We say "theoretically", since in general there     are a variety of practical and economic options to choose form. In specific cases, though, the number of alternatives is much smaller, and sometimes only one material is technically suitable and economically advantageous.
