01

Three levels of review

  • A small sample for colour and tactile finish.
  • A large image or slab photograph for pattern scale.
  • The actual slab for final nesting and critical vein placement.
02

Light changes perception

Warm light can soften cool greys; high-CRI neutral light reveals subtle colour shifts and inclusions.

Review the sample horizontally and vertically because reflections and shadow behave differently.

03

Build a material board

  • Place the surface beside the actual cabinet, timber, metal and paint samples.
  • Check it in daylight and in the specified evening lighting.
  • Photograph every approved combination and record the surface code.

Important: always check processing parameters, permitted loads and care requirements against current Primax documentation and the fabricator's instructions.
