Marble suppliers in Kochi

The gallery, minutes from Mumbai airport

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 Kochi 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 Kochi 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, 1,493 km from Kochi 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.

Kochi: homes, towers, hotels and offices

Kochi's towers along Marine Drive and in Kakkanad, the houses of Panampilly Nagar and the backwater resorts order stone by the house and by the floor; the slabs are chosen in Mumbai and sent by road.

The order from Kochi 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.

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 Kochi

Slabs and cut-to-size pieces go by road freight from the factory at Athal, Silvassa, 1,493 km from Kochi, 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 Ernakulam district and the rest of Kerala from Silvassa and Mumbai, and projects across India.
