Marble Miracles via Waterjet

When 26-year-old Michelangelo sculpted the statue David from a block of marble 500 years ago, his tools were basic and crude compared to what is available today. And although solid marble floors were created for the wealthy back then, the artists did not have the tools to make intricate, delicate patterns in the marble. A slab of marble remained a slab of marble cut to the required size.

Today's technology for creating masterpieces of architectural design from marble is centered on the cutting technology of waterjet. A Master Designer is no longer limited in expressing his creativity as the waterjet machines can cut, with meticulous precision, the thousands of various-shaped pieces that comprise a work of art. Marble-granite-onyx floor medallions, an example of the practical use of waterjet technology, can be seen not only in hotel lobbies, restaurants and airports, but in fine homes around the globe. These medallions express uniqueness, quality and originality, and are considered an excellent investment. They come in original designs, or pre-made, ready-to-install designs, or a customized version of the pre-made version. And, they are economical.
