Yes, unlike manufactured stone, our natural stone products will retain their integrity even if they are exposed to water.
RMQ & RMG have low absorbtion and high density which provide a high resistance to freeze / thaw cycles. Rocky Mountain Quartzite & Rocky Mountain Granite are up to 300 times stronger than manufactured stone products.
E-Z Set™ Thin Veneer weighs approximately 13 lbs. per square foot and qualifies as an adhered veneer because it weighs less than 15 lbs. per square foot installed.
That depends on which products and how much the semi or maxi can haul.
Semi’s typically haul 48,000 lbs. Maxi’s range around 64,000 depending on how they’re setup.
Almost all of our pallets (except thin veneer crates) weigh approx. 4,000 lbs. each so 12 will load a semi and 16 will load a maxi.
Our thin veneer crates weigh 2,050 or 2,200 lbs. per crate of flats and approx. 1,500 lbs. per crate of corners (depending on the product). As you can see, the number of pallets/crates a semi/maxi will haul depends on which products are ordered.
