Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the differences between Carved, Curved Surface, and Sculpted Surface?
  • Carved: High-precision engraving for intricate textures and patterns, mostly on flat or gently contoured panels. Delivers refined detail for countertops, walls, or floors.
  • Curved Surface: Achieved by molding or CNC, producing three-dimensional curves in durable material. Used for curved furniture, vanities, and panels.
  • Sculpted Surface: Deep carving or three-dimensional texturing for artistic or customized design; dramatic layered effect for wall art or specialty décor.
