About Stonevan

We make one thing, properly.

A source factory for hot-bent sintered stone. We don't trade, we don't subcontract the forming, and we don't make anything that can't come out of a single slab.

Our story

The kiln is the centre of the plant.

We started as a sintered stone processing workshop and became a dedicated basin factory when hot-bending made seamless one-piece basins commercially viable. Everything else — slab selection, CNC cutting, edge polishing, water testing, export packing — is organised around that one machine.

That focus is why we can quote a custom basin drawing in 24 hours and deliver a custom mould in 10 to 15 days. It is also why we added vanities and mirrors to the range: our customers were buying tops from us and cabinets from someone else, and paying for two containers, two inspections and two sets of paperwork.

We supply importers, bathroom wholesalers, kitchen fabricators and project contractors. Whether you need a pallet of samples or a full container programme, you deal directly with the people who make the product.

What we stand for

Four rules we don't bend.

Every one of these costs us orders now and then. We keep them because they are the reason customers come back.

One-piece hot-bent sintered stone basin vanity
01

One piece, or we don't make it.

We will not glue four panels together and call it a stone basin. If a shape can't be formed from a single slab, we say so and quote something that can — even when a competitor is willing to glue it.

The factory is the product.

No borrowed catalogue, no photos from someone else's plant. What you see here is what we bend, cut, polish and pack. You are welcome to audit it, in person or on video.

03

One supplier, one container.

Tops and cabinets are dimensioned to each other and shipped together. You shouldn't have to coordinate two factories, two inspections and two sets of documents to fill one bathroom.

An answer within a day.

A quotation that takes a week has usually already lost the order. Drawings, prices, loading plans — one working day, every time, including the enquiries we end up turning down.

How it's made

Three steps, no glue anywhere.

Full-size sintered stone slab prepared for cutting

Slab selection

A full-size slab is inspected for veining direction and colour consistency, then precision cut to the basin development drawing. Veining is matched by hand so the pattern lands where it should on the finished bowl.

One-piece hot-bent sintered stone basin

High-temperature bending

The slab is heated in a controlled kiln and formed over a mould. This produces a continuous radius that cutting and gluing simply cannot — and it is the only step that genuinely separates us from the rest of the market.

Finished hot-bent sintered stone basin

Finishing and testing

CNC edge profiling, drain hole drilling and hand polishing, then a full water test on every single piece. Inspection photos of your actual goods are sent for approval before the container is sealed.

Working together

One supplier, one container, one invoice.

Most importers buy the cabinet from one supplier and the stone top from another. That means two shipments, two inspections, and a top that never quite fits the carcass.

  • Tops cut to our own cabinet widths — no site adjustment
  • Cabinets and tops packed to protect each other in one container
  • One bill of lading, one inspection, one set of documents
  • If anything is wrong, no supplier blames the other supplier
