05 / About us
Since 1998, from quarry to home
Founded as The Triangle in 1998 and renamed Vinman Stoney in 2014. The same family, the same eye for stone.
Our story / 1998 – today
We choose the block, so you can trust the slab.
For more than 25 years we have supplied granite, marble, sandstone, limestone and hand-carved stone to architects, interior designers, builders and homeowners. What began as The Triangle in 1998 became Vinman Stoney in 2014, with the same commitment: natural stone selected at the source and finished without losing its character.
Every order is followed by one team, from the quarry to the sealed container, and every client sees and approves their actual stone before it is packed.
The journey / Seven stages
Follow one slab of Absolute Black
Each stage is checked by hand, and nothing moves forward until it meets the standard of the one before it.
- 01
The Quarry
Where every masterpiece begins
We follow one stone, Absolute Black granite, from the earth to a finished home. It starts at a working quarry in India, where raw blocks are lifted from the bed exactly as nature formed them.
-
02Block Selection
Only the finest blocks are chosen
Each block is checked for soundness, an even tone and freedom from cracks or spots. Blocks that fall short stay at the quarry, so your project starts with the best material.
-
03Precision Processing
Shaped with precision, never stripped of character
Blocks are sawn into slabs, then calibrated, polished and cut to size for worktops, floors, steps and cladding. Edges are kept true and the natural character is left as nature made it.
-
04Your Approval
You see your stone before we pack it
When your order is ready, we photograph the actual slabs from your lot. Packing begins only after you confirm the colour, finish and sizes are exactly what you expect.
-
05Crating
Packed in solid, labelled wooden crates
Every slab is wrapped in protective foam and film, then secured in treated wooden crates. Each crate is marked with its number, size and piece count, so your team on site knows exactly what is inside.
-
06Container Stuffing
Braced, sealed and shipped worldwide
Crates and slab bundles are braced with timber A-frames so nothing moves at sea. The container is sealed with its packing list and travels from India to your port.
