e 2540 UK: We need black Cudappah for Belgium . Sizes are 28x28 and 33x33 cm with sawn edges and also with hand  machined edges. It is finished flat for flooring tiles, but it has indentations which are left rough. It gives off an antique appearance. Belgium is full of indian stones, beceause there is a huge flooring market, but there are only a few main importers, but lots of smaller companies who buy from them. I have a lot of contacts, an available showroom and workplace/storage. What we need are samples and prices from good suppliers. Please quote inclusive of transport charges to Belgium (Antwerp) or Belgium (Gent).
There is no standard thickness, they usually arrive in crates with one cleft side, and the top surface rough sanded. The thicknesses vary in the same crate from 1-2.5 cm. They are only good for laying in a sand and cement bed. If we could find a supplier who manufactures milled standard thickness at say 1cm, it would be very interesting.
Application is mainly Floor tiles. The slab material is used for sawing steps and window sills. It is only used in internal situations, as it loses its colour, and goes a dusty grey when used outside. Feb 28. Contact

Buyer's response: I have just checked through these prices, they are dearer than what I can purchase myself from the Belgium suppliers. They are too thick too, which probably accounts for their price. Thickness needed is 1 - 2.5 cm. Also a 7 mm tolerance on sawn sizes is too much. Normally 5 mm on hand cut.
Seller's response: we supply these tiles to Belgium market from many years
if you are looking for  thick of 1 to 1.5cm
we will supply you at USD.16/m2  CIF Antwerp
we give you within +/-5mm tolerance for machine
but for safer side we ask for 7mm
This price is for sawn edges tiles only
