Yes. Guardian Ventures regularly offers Factory Second slabs and other special promotions, providing excellent opportunities for trade customers to improve their profit margins without compromising on quality.
Our Factory Second slabs are premium engineered stone surfaces that contain minor cosmetic imperfections, such as small inclusions, pattern variation or, in some cases, minor cracks. These imperfections are clearly identified and do not prevent experienced fabricators from achieving excellent results. In fact, many of our trade customers strategically cut around these areas, allowing them to maximise the usable material while significantly reducing their overall material costs.
For many businesses, Factory Seconds have become an excellent way to:
- Improve gross profit margins.
- Offer customers more competitive quotations.
- Reduce material costs on suitable projects.
- Make the most of high-quality engineered stone at heavily discounted prices.
Availability changes regularly and is offered on a first come, first served basis.
Approved trade customers can view our current Factory Second inventory by logging into the Guardian Ventures eCommerce platform, where the Outlet section displays live stock availability together with both the standard trade price and the discounted Factory Second price.
We also recommend subscribing to the Guardian Ventures Newsletter, where we regularly announce Factory Second availability, clearance offers, discontinued colours, new product launches, technical advice and the latest industry news.
If you have a particular project in mind or would like help selecting a suitable Factory Second slab, please contact the Guardian Ventures Customer Services Team. We’ll be happy to discuss the options currently available and help you maximise value for your next project.
