We do not sell through intermediaries: the same crew measures your kitchen, machines the slab and installs it in place.<\/p><div class=\"stx-trust\" style=\"color:#555;border-color:#e6e6e6\"><span><b style=\"color:#1f2226\">\u2605 4.8<\/b> Google rating<\/span><span><b style=\"color:#1f2226\">13,000+<\/b> projects<\/span><span><b style=\"color:#1f2226\">Own factory<\/b> in Estonia<\/span><span><b style=\"color:#1f2226\">14 working days<\/b> from drawing approval<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"stx-section\" style=\"padding-top:20px\"><div class=\"stx-wrap stx-split\"><div class=\"stx-text\"><h2>The story began with outdoor kitchens<\/h2><p>Founder Kert Loide started in 2000 by making outdoor kitchens from stone. They taught two things that still hold: stone withstands almost anything if it is machined and installed correctly, and the customer remembers the end result, not the sales pitch. From outdoor kitchens we moved to kitchen worktops, and from worktops to complete kitchen renovations. Today the Stoneks group operates in Finland, Sweden and Estonia, with more than 13,000 projects behind it.<\/p><p>Our factory is in Tallinn, an hour&#x27;s ferry ride from Helsinki. We say it openly, because it is our strength: we can keep the whole chain in our own hands. Laser measuring in Finland, CNC machining in Estonia, installation back in your kitchen \u2014 without a retailer&#x27;s margin and without the information changing hands along the way. Delivery and installation in Finland \u2014 14 working days from drawing approval.<\/p><p><a class=\"stx-btn stx-btn-dark\" href=\"\/get-help-choosing-the-right-slab\/?lang=en\">Request a quote<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"stx-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-halli.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-halli-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-halli-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stoneks-tehdas-halli.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"Stoneksin tehdas Tallinnassa\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"stx-section stx-section-grey\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><div class=\"stx-head\"><h2>The numbers we stand on<\/h2><p class=stx-sub>We do not advertise with adjectives but with what has been done.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"stx-grid4\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(4,1fr)\"><div class=\"stx-card\"><span class=\"stx-num\">01<\/span><h3>20+ years of stone<\/h3><p>The first outdoor kitchen was completed in 2000. Since then we have made worktops, stairs, windowsills and table tops from stone every single day.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"stx-card\"><span class=\"stx-num\">02<\/span><h3>13,000+ projects<\/h3><p>From studio-flat kitchens to hotel lobbies.

The measurer who visits your kitchen with the laser is the same person who comes back to install the worktop. In between, the slab passes through the hands of the CNC operators in Tallinn: they cut the openings for the sink and hob, mill the edge profile and polish the surface according to the measurement file, not an estimate.<\/p><p>This chain is the reason we can promise a schedule and keep it. When the measurer knows how the installer wants the joints, and the operator knows what the measurer meant, no correction rounds are needed. For you it shows as one contact person and one installation day \u2014 not five phone calls to different companies.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"stx-section stx-section-grey\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><div class=\"stx-head\"><h2>What we believe in<\/h2><p class=stx-sub>Three things we do not compromise on.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"stx-grid4\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr)\"><div class=\"stx-card\"><span class=\"stx-num\">01<\/span><h3>Honest material advice<\/h3><p>If marble does not suit your family&#x27;s kitchen, we say so out loud and suggest quartz or ceramic.

The measurer laser-measures the carcasses on site and goes through the placement of the sink, tap and hob.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Drawings and production<\/h3><p>You receive drawings for approval. After that the slab is cut and machined on CNC at our factory; we inspect every piece before loading.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Delivery and installation<\/h3><p>The same team brings the worktop and installs it.
