Get what you want, when you want with Qxpress, a new division of Quarella Australia that offers a fast-track service for marble and quartz tiles. This exciting new service holds substantial stock levels in 20 colours for instant supply.
"The key to Qxpress' success is its ability to offer stock for immediate delivery from our Melbourne warehouse to anywhere in Australia," says Quarella managing director Stewart Macciolli. "It's proving an invaluable resource for large and small projects in the domestic and commercial sector – time restraints, pressing deadlines and building delays are no longer critical issues." |
Qxpress also offers an indent service with a timeframe of 12 weeks from order from our partners Quarella Italy, and also clearance specials of Quarella marble and quartz tiles from discontinued colours, end of batch lots, end of project lines and surplus stock.
Look out for the official launch of Qxpress to be featured in the architecture and interior design digest Indesignlive in September 2008. |

| Colour & texture | |

Texture is the keyword in interior design, and the Quarella Chenille Quartz range of engineered stone comprises nine colours that are catching the design elite's attention, including Blanco Paloma, Crema Clara, Gris Antracita and Marron Glace.
The contemporary range features a subtly textured surface with a natural stone look, offering architects, designers, and specifiers a unique choice for floors, bench tops and walls that extends to outdoors. "Designers are now embracing Chenille Quartz's unique textured surface for its natural stone appearance and texture, but with the added bonus of exceptional stain, scratch and acid resistant qualities," says Stewart Macciolli. |

| Quarella continues to raise the bar on bathroom design with its innovative bespoke Wash products. The Wash range comprises marble and limestone wash tiles and slabs, complemented by a series of stunning handcrafted solid stone Quarella basins and shower bases. |  |

The wash tiles and slabs can be custom cut for a totally coordinated look across floors and walls while there are three designs in the locally handcrafted basins – Pool, Flow and Lagoon – each with a different aesthetic. To complete the bespoke bathroom, the solid stone shower bases feature a a range of grates – Line, Edge, Remo – which sit flush with the floor in a seamless finish and Teak – which sits on top of the floor with integrated teak slats.
This ongoing success story illustrates the demand for quality, custom-made products that ensure individuality in design, www.wash.com.au |

| Quarella: Winning projects | |
|
Quarella Australia continues to win important contracts through its dedication to excellence, with clients including Hilton hotels and Sydney Airport.
Hilton Sydney T2 Sydney Domestic: Working closely with the Sydney Airport Corporation Limited (SACL), Quarella supplied 300mm x 600mm tiles in marble 'Aida' and Gemme quartz 'Magnetite'. The award-winning project recently netted Woodhead Architecture two awards at the Property Council of Australia's Innovation and Excellence Awards. "The success of the architecture and interior design for Terminal 2, which uses height and light to give the terminal a cleaner more streamlined feel, has been reflected in its overwhelmingly positive reception by passengers and now this further recognition by the PCA through the Innovation and excellence Award," says Woodhead Aviation principal David Holm. T1 Sydney International: Quarella's longstanding association with leading companies like the Hilton group and successful appointments to such projects as Sydney Airport's T1 and T2, are testament to our commitment to maintain a high standard of continued project support together with Quarella's total service offering to supply, manufacture and install. |

The most advanced treatment for wet floors, the invisible R10 + is slick, but not slippery. The anti-slip product is a non-acid etching treatment suitable for both indoors and out, and suits most floor surfaces, including quartz-based tiles, glazed brick, terrazzo, concrete and quarry tiles, without altering the surface's look.
Australian building codes and Occupational Health & Safety regulations require commercial operations are safe for pedestrian traffic, and R 10+is winning contracts across Australia for the supply and application of this proven anti-slip treatment. Recent applications include: New South Wales: New South Wales: Sydney Airport T1, New Departures (WIP completion 2009). This is an icon project where R10+ will be supplied for all quartz-based composite tiles for all food courts and amenities landside and air-side. Also: Sydney Airport T2, Arrivals and Departures, Rhodes Waterside, (Mirvac) and the Raddison Plaza Hotel. Victoria: Myer Ltd Head Office, Crown Casino: (Riverside Lounge, Crown Café and Crown Bar) and William Angliss College. Western Australia: Birdswood Casino |
