A balustrade is a set, and the set is the decision. Every baluster is cut from the same block so that the density and the colour match across the flight, and the rail is either a single length or a jointed run with the joint placed where a hand covers it. The profile is a template cut on a machine, not a carved one, and the stone is 20 mm or 30 mm on the baluster face depending on the section.

The straight figure runs up the balusters and along the rail, so a flight of them reads as a row of parallel lines — which is the one place in the building where this stone looks most like timber.
A stair, a landing, a terrace edge, a hotel lobby where the balustrade is the feature rather than the stair behind it.
A straight-veined stone is well suited to a balustrade, because the lines stay parallel along a run and the eye reads them as one direction rather than as a pattern that changes at every joint.

The specifications on these pages are the published supplier and trade-platform figures for Guizhou Coffee Wood Marble, and the decisions each form carries are our own reading of how this material behaves in that job. We have not run a slip test, an abrasion test or a weathering test on any of them. A floor, a path or an external threshold specified for slip resistance needs the tested wet-DCOF figure for the stone and the finish, which we will supply on request.



Where each photograph was taken is written under it — the quarry yard, the sawing line, the polishing line, the packing bay, or a floor and a wall already laid with this stone.
Send the drawing or spec — we confirm slab allocation, thickness, finish, lead time and FOB pricing from China.
