Marble suppliers in Chennai

Why Chennai buys its marble in Mumbai

Flora Marble's gallery is in the Main Marble Market on the Western Express Highway service road, Vile Parle East, Mumbai, near Hotel Sahara Star, open Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM. From Chennai the practical way in is a flight to Mumbai: the gallery is 5 km from the airport, about 10 minutes by road. Stocked slabs stand there to be seen in person; catalogue stones are sourced to order and shown before you commit.

Most buyers from Chennai start with the drawings and the stone they have in mind: we quote against them, show the numbered slabs we propose, and nothing is cut until the lot is agreed. Every slab is cut, resin-treated and polished at our own factory in Athal, Silvassa, 1,356 km from Chennai by road, so the book-matched pair, the honed finish or the cut-to-size piece comes from the same block as the slab you chose.

Chennai: homes, towers, hotels and offices

Chennai's houses in Boat Club and Poes Garden, the villas along the East Coast Road and the towers of OMR order stone by the house and by the floor; the slabs are chosen in Mumbai and sent by road.

For floors, Chennai mostly asks for a beige marble, Botticino, Ottoman or Spanish Cream, in one lot across the whole house. For the walls that matter, the living room, the island, the pooja room, it asks for an Italian white. Outside and in the kitchen, granite in a leathered or polished finish does the hard work.

For towers and hotels, selected blocks and slab lots are held in the project's name so vein, tone and finish stay the same across the whole quantity; book-matched pairs, mitred edges and step profiles are prepared at Silvassa before the crates are packed.

Delivery to Chennai

Slabs and cut-to-size pieces go by road freight from the factory at Athal, Silvassa, 1,356 km from Chennai, crated and strapped for the distance, 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 Chennai district and the rest of Tamil Nadu from Silvassa and Mumbai, and projects across India.
