Zahran Marble
Select premium natural stone and engineered surfaces processed in our world-class manufacturing center in Shuitou.
The convergence of natural aesthetics and structural engineering: Lightweight composite panels built for next-generation architecture.
Utilizes high-tensile 3003 or 5052 aluminum hexagonal cell structures, offering unparalleled structural stiffness and energy-absorbing capacities.
Reduces dead load weight from 50kg/m² (standard 20mm marble) to just 12-16kg/m², drastically reducing installation labor and structural framing cost.
A thin 3mm to 5mm veneer of natural marble is bonded using high-polymer adhesives, maintaining natural visual warmth while avoiding fragile properties.
Traditional natural stone exhibits low tensile strength and is highly susceptible to micro-cracking and seismic movement. By bonding natural marble veneer to an aluminum or fiberglass honeycomb grid, the resulting panel achieves an impact strength up to 10 times greater than solid 2cm slabs.
The flexural strength is enhanced by the skin-core-skin configuration. When subject to bending, the stress is distributed to the high-tensile backing material and outer stone, allowing developers to design massive, spans of natural marble cladding without structural hazards.
From local stone merchant to global precision fabrication powerhouse.
In the global stone market, Xiamen Zahran Marble Co., Ltd. stands as a premier provider of high-quality marble and luxury stone solutions. Headquartered in Xiamen, the heart of China’s stone trade, and with a major manufacturing hub in Shuitou (the World’s Stone Capital), we specialize in transforming raw marble from the world’s finest quarries into architectural masterpieces.
Our mission is to deliver the world’s most exquisite marble products to high-end residential, commercial, and hospitality projects worldwide. Over the past decade, Xiamen Zahran Marble has evolved from a traditional export enterprise into a precision-driven, marble-focused manufacturing powerhouse, offering integrated services from quarry sourcing to digital fabrication and automated production.
CNC 5-Axis routers, multi-blade gang saws, and automatic slab calibration lines.
High-resolution scanning for vein-matching and virtual layout dry-lays.
We understand that commercial construction projects require more than raw materials; they demand engineered performance, precision tolerance, and certified safety parameters.
Providing architects, designers, and developers a massive inventory of premium raw materials.
Our core focus. Sourcing the world's most desired blocks including Italian & European Marble (Statuario, Calacatta, Carrara) for luxury interior applications, and customized marble blocks & slabs engineered to custom specifications.
Rare stones sourced globally including backlit onyx, exotic quartzite, and specialty stones with intense natural patterning. Perfect for high-end feature walls, hospitality bars, and illuminated counter installations.
Durable architectural stones including Granite, Quartzite, Travertine, and Limestone. Sourced and processed for exterior landscaping, high-traffic commercial flooring, and exterior heavy-duty cladding.
Engineered Marble & Quartz featuring heat resistance, anti-staining, and high durability for commercial kitchens and bathrooms. Large-format Sintered Stone and Porcelain slabs for thin, minimal-joint modern facades.
Why sourcing from Zahran Marble's advanced facility in Shuitou offers strategic market advantages.
Operating out of Shuitou gives Zahran Marble raw material sourcing efficiency that is unmatched globally. The industrial cluster in Shuitou processes over 60% of the world's raw stone imports, enabling direct procurement of blocks from Italy, Brazil, Turkey, and India at competitive prices.
Xiamen Zahran Marble is committed to responsible marble sourcing and sustainable production. In our factory, eco-friendly systems are not just compliance requirements; they are fundamental to how we run our operations:
Engineered to meet the exact building codes, installation expectations, and architectural designs of major global regions.
Tested rigorously under ASTM standards. Honeycomb panels conform with local IBC (International Building Code) specifications for high-rise cladding, wind pressure ratings, and seismic movement performance.
CE-marked products meeting EN 1469 specifications for natural stone cladding. Full certification for thermal shock resistance and freeze-thaw cycles, critical for Northern European facades.
Specifically engineered to withstand extreme ambient temperatures and thermal expansion cycles without cracking or delamination. Fully compatible with fast-track construction schedules in GCC countries.
High-wind load exterior cladding panels featuring concealed anchoring channels for rapid, safe install on high-rise towers.
Weight-restricted interior floors, walls, and ceiling panels that satisfy strict marine safety and fire retardation codes.
Ultra-thin 3mm stone composite sheets. Maximizes interior space and prevents cargo overload on traction systems.
Provides structural relief over older framing, allowing standard marble panels to be mounted directly to existing drywall.
Engineered transit solutions minimizing project delays and guaranteeing delivery integrity.
Logistical delivery is where many overseas projects fail. Xiamen Zahran Marble maintains robust international logistics with 300+ containers shipped annually. Our transit optimization processes are designed around strict timeline commitments:
Technical answers to critical procurement and engineering queries regarding Honeycomb Marble Panels.
The standard configuration is a 15mm panel consisting of a 3mm to 5mm natural marble veneer bonded to a 10mm to 12mm aluminum honeycomb core. However, we can custom engineer thicknesses ranging from 10mm up to 50mm, depending on project wind load requirements or acoustic-dampening specs.
We use aerospace-grade, high-polymer epoxy resin and polyurethane adhesives under controlled thermal press cycles. This ensures that the adhesive matches the thermal coefficient of the stone and backing, preventing delamination in environments with severe temperature fluctuations (-40°C to +80°C).
Yes. The aluminum honeycomb backing is inherently non-combustible. When combined with our specialty flame-retardant epoxy coatings, our composite panels achieve an ASTM E84 Class A (or Euroclass A2) rating, verifying safety compliance for public and commercial facade application.
For walls, we recommend mechanical fixing utilizing interlocking Z-clips or anchor brackets slotted into pre-routed tracks on the panel frame. This creates a secure, ventilated curtain-wall configuration that permits independent thermal expansion of the building framework.
No. The marble retains its natural texture, coloration, and crystalline structure. If the marble has light translucency (like certain white marbles or onyx), we utilize white or color-matched backing epoxies to prevent the dark hue of the aluminum honeycomb from dulling the stone's color.
