Fan-shaped Tiger Skin Quartz Crazy Paving Flagstone brings natural beauty and exceptional strength to outdoor spaces. This natural quartzite material showcases distinctive tiger-stripe patterns with warm golden, beige, and brown tones contrasted by darker veins. Each piece displays unique natural characteristics that create visual interest across driveways, pathways, patios, and poolside areas.
The fan-shaped design adds curved elegance to landscape projects. These pre-cut shapes simplify installation while creating flowing patterns that soften hard edges and guide movement through outdoor spaces. The irregular crazy paving format maximizes material use and reduces waste, making this an efficient choice for wholesale buyers.
Tiger Skin Quartz delivers performance advantages that matter to contractors and project managers. The dense quartzite structure resists weathering, maintains color stability under UV exposure, and handles freeze-thaw cycles without surface degradation. The natural split surface texture provides slip resistance around pools and wet areas.
Application Showcase
Residential Projects
Fan-shaped Tiger Skin Quartz Crazy Paving transforms residential outdoor spaces into welcoming areas. Homeowners choose this material for curved garden pathways where the fan shapes create natural flow. Pool decks benefit from the stone’s heat-reflective properties and slip-resistant surface. Patio installations showcase the warm color palette that complements outdoor furniture and landscaping.
The irregular pattern works particularly well in areas with curves and organic layouts. Front entry walkways gain visual appeal when fan shapes radiate outward from doorways. Backyard entertainment areas combine multiple fan patterns to define different zones without rigid lines.
Commercial Applications
Commercial landscape architects specify this material for hotel courtyards, restaurant outdoor dining areas, and retail plaza walkways. The durability withstands heavy foot traffic while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Public parks and municipal projects use fan-shaped paving to create gathering spaces with visual interest.
Driveways require materials that handle vehicle weight and turning forces. Tiger Skin Quartz provides the compressive strength needed for these high-stress applications. The interlocking crazy paving pattern distributes loads effectively and prevents individual pieces from shifting.
Pool and Water Features
Poolside installations demand materials that stay cool underfoot and resist moisture damage. Tiger Skin Quartz meets both requirements through its natural properties. The light-colored tones reflect heat rather than absorbing it, creating comfortable walking surfaces even in direct sunlight.
Water features and fountain surrounds benefit from quartzite’s low absorption rate. The material resists staining from algae, chemicals, and mineral deposits that accumulate around water. The natural texture provides secure footing on wet surfaces.
Package Method
Standard Packaging Configuration
Each pallet contains precisely arranged fan-shaped pieces secured in fumigated wooden crates. Export-grade packaging includes foam protection between layers to prevent chipping during ocean freight. Standard pallet coverage ranges from 15 to 27.5 square meters depending on stone thickness.
Mesh-backed options arrive with 4 sheets per square meter for faster installation. The mesh backing holds 6-7 pieces together while allowing mortar adhesion through the backing material. This configuration reduces labor time and ensures consistent spacing.
Shipping and Logistics
Container loads typically hold 20-25 tons of material, equivalent to approximately 400-950 square feet depending on thickness. Standard thickness options include 20mm for pedestrian traffic and 30-40mm for vehicular applications.
Bulk orders qualify for reduced per-unit shipping costs and volume pricing. Lead times run 15-25 days from order confirmation to port departure. Material ships from Fujian Province ports with direct access to major shipping lanes.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Quarry Selection and Extraction
Tiger Skin Quartz quarries in China’s Fujian Province provide consistent material characteristics. Quarry operators select blocks based on color consistency and minimal defects. Geological surveys ensure adequate reserves for long-term supply stability.
Block extraction uses controlled blasting and wire saw techniques that minimize fracturing. Primary processing at quarry sites reduces transportation costs and allows initial quality sorting. Selected blocks move to cutting facilities for precision processing.
Processing and Fabrication
Advanced gang saws and cutting equipment produce consistent thickness across production runs. Computer-controlled systems maintain tight tolerances for calibrated products. Multiple quality checkpoints during fabrication identify and remove defective pieces.
Surface finishing equipment creates specified textures. Natural split finishes preserve the stone’s authentic character while providing slip resistance. Quality control personnel verify surface characteristics meet specifications before packaging.
Quality Testing Procedures
Each production batch undergoes physical testing for key properties. Mohs hardness testing confirms material authenticity and performance characteristics. Water absorption tests verify density and weather resistance.
Compressive strength testing ensures material can handle intended applications. Freeze-thaw cycle testing simulates years of weather exposure. Only material passing all tests proceeds to packaging and shipping.
