![]() ![]() If you need materials sooner for a rush order or job completion, your local distributor can call and ask for a lead time specific to you. We find this is the most efficient way to manufacture as it helps us to minimize waste and to keep prices low for our customers. How long does it take after I place my order to receive material?ĪRTO produces most products to order so there is usually a lead time of 4-6 weeks. Variation is what we do and it is what makes your project ageless & timeless. Surface imperfections are characteristic and inherent to our rustic look. WESTERN QUARRY High Fire Stoneware makes tiles the old fashioned way and there will always be slight variations in product color, thickness and overall dimensions from piece to piece. ORDERING Why is there size and color variation? Oleson – slip cast (hand packed) with uneven surface, pillowed edges and rounded corners 3/4” nominal thickness.Villa – pressed with flat surface and square edges 5/8” nominal thickness.Monrovia – extruded and wire cut to the appropriate size, features flat surfaces and sharp corners and sides 5/8” nominal thickness.Classic – pressed with pillowed edges and rounded corners 5/8” nominal thickness.**Keep in mind these characteristics are not defects – they are what make your floor beautiful** These characteristics will vary depending on the particular style so make sure to order samples to ensure the style selected is appropriate for your needs. WESTERN QUARRY High Fire Stoneware tiles are deliberately rustic and may include variations in sizing, thickness, surfaces, and edges. While all WESTERN QUARRY High Fire Stoneware tiles are made from the same basic raw materials, the sizes, surfaces, edging, and appearance may vary from one style to the next as detailed below. If any of the above makes you uncomfortable you are definitely better off ordering a machine made, impervious material like porcelain. We strive to make all our customers happy but realize that realistic expectations are the key to appreciating our unique, rustic products. If you are looking for a product that is perfectly consistent and uniform or will not change over time WESTERN QUARRY High Fire Stoneware does not make these products. Of course, our customers and we love the way the tiles age and patina over time but it is not for everyone. Unglazed tiles will have more porosity and will change over time as they absorb the environment around them (unglazed tiles can be sealed to protect the surface from staining but will still change as they wear and patina). Glazed tiles will change very little due to the protection offered by the surface glaze. WESTERN QUARRY High Fire Stoneware tiles will wear differently depending on whether the surface is glazed or unglazed. WESTERN QUARRY handcrafts rustic products that are distinguished by their color variation and irregularity and made with natural ingredients that can vary over time. SELECTION (Which one do I want?)
