▌ Executive Summary
On September 19, 2026, Landiview Stone completed loading a 20 ft container with 200 shower wall panel sets for an apartment project in Canada. Each set contains three custom-fabricated panels, giving the shipment a total of 600 finished panels.
The panels were produced from Calacatta White engineered quartz with a polished finish and a nominal thickness of 15 mm. The approved shop drawing defines an overall wall area of 10 ft 4 in wide by 6 ft high and records the required panel divisions, finished dimensions and installation-facing details for production control.

▌ How the Shop Drawing Controlled Production
The shop drawing served as the common reference for panel dimensions, joint locations, material thickness and polished surface requirements. Front elevation, top view and 3D views allowed the production and quality-control teams to review the wall configuration before fabrication and packing.
Using an approved drawing is especially important for repeat apartment units because dimensional consistency across multiple sets directly affects installation efficiency, joint alignment and replacement-piece control.
▌ Finished Panel Inspection Before Packing
Before crating, finished panels were arranged in coordinated groups on the factory floor. This stage allowed the team to check visible surface condition, polishing, edge quality, panel dimensions and the overall appearance of the Calacatta-style veining.
Grouping the panels by shower set also supports clearer identification during packing and helps the receiving team manage distribution across repeated apartment units.
▌ Export Packing and Container Reinforcement
The shower panels were protected inside wooden crates and secured with green packing straps. During loading of the 20 ft container, the crates were positioned to use the available floor area efficiently while maintaining stable support for the large-format panels.
After loading, fumigated solid-timber members were installed as internal bracing. The reinforcement connects and restrains the packed units to reduce movement, impact and crate displacement during international transport to Canada.
▌ Project Execution Workflow
- 1. Review the project requirements and confirm the shower wall dimensions.
- 2. Prepare the panel shop drawing with elevations, panel joints, thickness and finish details.
- 3. Fabricate the Calacatta White engineered quartz panels to the approved production information.
- 4. Group and inspect the finished panels for dimensions, surface finish, edges and visual consistency.
- 5. Pack each coordinated set in protective wooden crates and secure the contents with strapping.
- 6. Load the crates into the container and add fumigated solid-timber bracing for transport stability.
▌ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many shower wall panels were included in this shipment?
A: The 20 ft container contained 200 sets. Each set included three panels, for a total of 600 finished Calacatta White engineered quartz panels.
Q: What were the material, thickness and finish?
A: The panels were fabricated from Calacatta White engineered quartz with a polished finish and a nominal thickness of 15 mm.
Q: What dimensions are shown on the shop drawing?
A: The shop drawing shows an overall shower wall area measuring 10 ft 4 in wide by 6 ft high. It also records the panel-joint arrangement, 15 mm material thickness and polished surface requirements.
Q: How were the panels protected for export to Canada?
A: The panels were placed in protective wooden crates, secured with packing straps and loaded into the container. Fumigated solid-timber bracing was then installed to restrain the crates and reduce movement during international transport.
▌ About Landiview Stone
Landiview Stone supplies natural stone in two principal forms: slabs for importers, distributors and fabricators, and project-specific cut-to-size or finished stone products for contractors, developers, designers, builders and other project buyers.
For slab buyers, Landiview Stone supports current slab selection, slab-image review, color and vein-range confirmation, surface inspection, slab identification and export packing.
For cut-to-size and custom-fabrication projects, the company can coordinate shop drawing review, slab scanning, AutoCAD cutting and vein-layout simulation, fabrication, dry layout inspection, piece numbering, finished-product inspection, temporary reinforcement for vulnerable components and project-specific export protection.
For more complex fabricated and assembled stone products, the project team may use three-dimensional modeling and virtual assembly review to examine component relationships, material thicknesses, surface treatments, concealed reinforcement and potential interference before fabrication details are finalized.
Landiview Stone's international project experience includes:
- • Marble furniture, bathroom vanity tops and shower wall panels for the Grand Hyatt Singapore renovation project
- • Stone supply for stations on Singapore's Thomson-East Coast Line
- • Interior stone products for the Wynn project in the United Arab Emirates
- • Marble products for the public areas of the 255 East 77th Street luxury residential project in New York
- • Interior and exterior marble and granite products for three high-end custom homes on Tuckahoe, a private resort island in Massachusetts, USA
