Before a project moves into full production, it is essential to confirm that the selected glaze colors, textures and compositions accurately represent the intended design. The sampling and approval stage allows project teams to review the material under real conditions before manufacturing begins.
This stage provides an opportunity to verify that both aesthetic and technical aspects of the surface meet the expectations of the project.
Glaze Testing
Glaze samples are produced using the selected color palette and firing process. Because lava stone glazes interact with the mineral structure of the stone during kiln firing, testing ensures that the final appearance matches the design concept.
Surface Review
Project teams can examine the sample surfaces to evaluate color depth, reflection, texture and overall visual effect.
Lighting conditions, surrounding materials and spatial context may also be considered during this review process.
Final Approval
Once the samples meet the design expectations, the surfaces are formally approved for production. This approval ensures that the manufacturing stage will replicate the confirmed material characteristics.
