Where Akola's marble is actually made
Most marble sold in Akola arrives as finished slabs through dealers who bought them from an importer, who bought them from a cutter. Flora Marble buys the blocks, direct from the quarries with no middlemen, and cuts, resin-treats and polishes them itself at its own factory at Athal, Silvassa, as it has since 2002.
For a buyer in Akola that means 550 km to the slab sheds, about 11 hours by road, to see the whole lot in daylight with the people who will finish it. Most buyers from this far send the drawings and the stone they have in mind; we quote against them and show the numbered slabs we propose before anything is cut.
Akola: homes, buildings and hotels
Akola's bungalows, hospitals and shops order stone by truck from Silvassa, usually against drawings and photographs of the numbered slabs.
The order from Akola usually reads the same way: a beige marble floor across the house, an Italian white, Statuario or Calacatta, on the feature wall and the island, granite for the steps, the terrace and the kitchen platform, and sometimes an onyx or a semi-precious slab for one wall that is meant to be noticed.
Delivery to Akola
Slabs and cut-to-size pieces go by truck from the factory at Athal, Silvassa, 550 km by road from Akola, and the date is confirmed with each order. Every slab is inspected, numbered and photographed before it is loaded, so what arrives can be checked against what was chosen.
Flora Marble supplies Akola district and the rest of Maharashtra from Silvassa and Mumbai, and projects across India.
