Our Accreditations...

There’s nowhere we can’t go. Bellagio Marble Ideas have been accredited the below H & S certificates, allowing us to operate on all major commercial sites and projects.

Our manufacturing process

01. Worksurface Template

All the worksurfaces produced at Bellagio Marble Ideas are fabricated fully bespoke. No two worktops are ever the same, so the production process always begins by taking a full, digital template. Using the latest laser measuring technology, our skilled template team, will attend site to produce a digital CAD template of the surfaces required. All design details will be discussed with the customer or on-site representative, to ensure all design requirements have been included and confirmed.

02. Production Planning

Once the templates are completed, our in-house team will get to work ensuring all final details are confirmed with the customer. This ensures any alterations against the quoted specification are confirmed prior to beginning production. The Production Planning department will finish by ensuring our factory team have all the required digital CAD programmes, to accurately produce the full worksurface order.

03. Inspection of the Stone Slabs

A comprehensive visual check is always carried out to each stone slab prior to machining. With quartz and sintered slabs, we will be looking for any scratches or faults from the manufacturing process, whilst a natural stone may have certain characteristics such as black spots, pits, or phishers. Where possible these areas will be marked and cut around, remembering that these are naturally occurring features of the stone and will often feature throughout the full slab.

04. Setting Out

After the slab is thoroughly inspected, it’s time to decide on the template placement. The finalised digital template drawings will be overlaid on an image of the slab, factoring in any veining and patterning to best suit the kitchen design, whilst maximising yield to avoid unnecessary waste.

05. Cutting the Stone

06. Fabricating the Stone

Once all the worktops have been cut to their finished sizes, they move through to our automated edge polishing machines. These polish and profile all visible edges to the very best standards, at far quicker speeds and accuracy than undertaking this by hand.

Any worktops requiring cut outs for sinks hobs and waterfall style profiles will be handled by our latest generation CNC machines. These are programmed to cut, profile and polish all edges/cut outs to precise dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and finish every time.

These machines can work on multiple pieces of stone at any one time, to maximise efficiency and minimise machine down time.

07. Stone Polishing

The final fabrication stage involves our skilled stonemasons. All worktops receive a final inspection from the team, ensuring all intricate details, that machines cannot replicate, are completed and the worktop is fully inspected for quality and accuracy.

08. Sealing the Stone

It is vital to seal all natural stone before installing. This will be applied in several layers on completion the production process, to ensure the stone performs to the very highest standards in our customers’ homes. Bellagio Marble Ideas have partnered with Dry Treat sealers to offer a 25-year guarantee against staining to our complete natural stone range. Quartz and Sintered surfaces are non-porous, so do not require this application.

09. Installation

The final phase in the process is the installation of the stone surfaces. Our skilled fitting teams will begin by unloading all worktops into position. Once level, seam setting equipment will be used, along with high-quality, colour matched resins to complete the joints, ensuring a solid and smooth transition between all worktops. Once dried this will set extremely hard and is designed to last many years.

All undermounted sinks will be siliconed to the stone, ensuring a waterproof seal is achieved. To further enhance this, specialist stone clips are used to hold the sink in place, safeguarding against it coming away from the stone over time.

Once all the worktops are fitted, all remining upstands and wall cladding will be installed and finished with a colour matched silicone to seal between all joints.

All installations will be left with a comprehensive care guide, warranty information and feedback from, along with and complimentary surface cleaner.
