How to compare Custom Decorative Fabrication

Criteria that change the selection

Do not compare by name or photograph alone. Record each of these variables so the yard can separate genuinely useful alternatives.

Define dimensions, material, color range, edge profile, finish, tolerances, mounting, and the surfaces visible after installation.
Provide drawings, templates, orientation, opening locations, joint strategy, and approved samples before fabrication.
Agree on shop-drawing review, field verification, lead time, crating, handling, and acceptance of natural variation.

Terminology and variants

Custom, cut-to-size, fabricated, finished, templated, and installed describe different scopes. State exactly which services are requested.

When requesting a quote, use the full product name, variant, size or finish, and the unit shown on the record. One informal word can cover materials that behave differently.

Use cautions

Fabrication should not begin from unverified field dimensions. Structural support, attachment, waterproofing, code, and installation remain design responsibilities.

Context photos show a use idea, not technical approval, physical stock, or a promise that a product fits the project.

Measurement and quantity

Count each unique piece, record finished dimensions and thickness, identify repeated units, and include drawing-based waste or spare pieces explicitly.

Keep areas, layers, depths, cuts, compaction, and waste separate. Convert to tons only when verified density exists for the exact product and condition; otherwise keep the volume and ask for help.

Pickup, delivery, and fulfillment

Confirm approval milestones, deposit or order terms, lead time, crate dimensions and weights, inspection, pickup equipment, delivery access, and damage protocol.

Price, stock, lead time, minimums, loading, unloading, and delivery service are confirmed for the requested quantity, variant, address, and timing.

Frequently asked questions

Is every Custom Decorative Fabrication product in stock?

The catalog does not claim physical stock. Rio Stone confirms the variant, quantity, price, availability, and timing when the request is reviewed.

Can I calculate tons from my measurements?

You can calculate volume. Weight conversion requires verified density for the product and condition; when it is absent, send the volume and dimensions.
