"Hardwood and stone: until now - an impossible marriage, yet there is little doubt they had always been made for each other"

Seclay manufactures marble and granite PrecisionStone™ Inlays a striking, yet elegantly refined enhancement to fine furnishings, accessories and decorative hardware. Sheathed in an epoxy armor on all but the exposed surface, our stone inlays are shipped to customers worldwide for seamless on-site installation in hardwoods, metals, and solid surface materials.

Seclay is also your source for an ever broadening array of stone-inlayed products and premium building supplies such as flooring, molding, cabinet doors and pulls, solid surface countertops and edging, even automobile dashboards and door panels."Equally suited to the custom craftsman as to the furniture manufacturer, essential to the leading edge designer"In developing our patented inlays, we focused on resiliency, versatility and above all, on ensuring that installation would be easy to perform, and seamless.

"the ultimate enhancement for the exquisitely crafted"

The limitless variety of potential venues is exceeded only by the infinite spectrum of inlay designs that result from combining the spectacular colors, textures, grains and patterns of natural stone. There are over 100 samples to choose from on the Inlay Selection page - yet these are merely a random selection and are far short of constituting a PrecisionStone™ catalogue.

Extend the beauty of a new marble countertop to your floors, cabinetry and molding — with matching inlays cut from the very same slab. Choose from our line of aluminum drawer pulls and we'll insert the complementary stone of your choice. The images on you'll find throughout our website offer a glimpse of the possibilities.

"The Precision in PrecisionStone™ is, by no means, an overstatement"

Seclay manufactures inlays as narrow as 1/8 of an inch and up to 7 feet in length. What truly defies comparison, however and in fact what accounts for their flawless fit is their incredible dimensional accuracy. Tthe height and most importantly the width varies no more than plus or minus 1/1000 of an inch over the entire length of every inlay we make. You may very well wonder why, but in fact 5/1000 of an inch (the thickness of a piece of paper) one way will render an improper fit and possibly a gap between the stone and the wood, while 5/1000 of an inch the other way will prevent installation altogether.

The ends of our inlays can be square, mitered, or bull-nosed. In addition we are currently refining a product that incorporates solid sheets of stone that are so thin they allow the passage of light — mimicing or as we're sure you'll agree, exceeding the beauty of stained glass!. Imagine the extraordinary visual impact of an entryway door featuring translucent crystalline granite lights.

How is it possible?
Seclay's PrecisionStone™manufacturing process is patented as are the inlays themselves and provides our inlays with the following critical design features:

1.a slightly wedge-shaped profile. This allows for a press fit during installation and for the groove that will receive the inlay to be cut slightly deeper leaving room for adhesive. The sloped sides of the inlay also enable the adhesive to flow up between the sides of the groove and the inlay as it's pressed into place. This guarantees that the wood and the inlay will never separate as a result of temperature and humidity fluctuations.

2. the narrower wedge-shaped profile of the marble or granite itself. The trapezoid-within-a- trapezoid look of our inlays reveals how the bottom and sides of the stone are set in epoxy. When the inlay is installed the epoxy armor is entirely beneath the surface and completely invisible, as the following images illustrate.

The Perfect Flush Fit Made Easy

 - an epoxy armor surrounds the stone on all sides but the exposed visible surface.... ...the wedge-shaped profile of the inlay provides for the press fit......and leaves room for adhesive to flow completely around the inlay and bond it to the wood on all three adjoining surfaces.

Every installation is one-of-a-kind, each one an unparallelled statement of beauty elegance and refinement
