Nanjing Metro Line 5

Nanjing Metro Line 5 is a finished project in Nanjing, Jiangsu, completed in 2022. The catalogue that publishes these photographs files it as a project name, a year and the mix used; the mix it prints for this project is custom mix / catalogue reference 22.2.25-A33 / catalogue reference 21.10.16-A24. A station floor is chosen for what it has to survive — trolleys, cleaning machines, and years of traffic — and the photograph can show the surface, never the service.

The photographs

2 photographs, as published, in the order the catalogue prints them. They are the manufacturer’s own images of the installation, not ours: the company marks and the camera stamps have been removed, and nothing in this entry has been measured, tested or certified by us. What a photograph cannot show is the assembly underneath — that is a drawing, not a picture, and it is the part that decides the outcome.

What to ask about a project like this

Three things separate a floor that matures well from one that does not, and none of them is visible in a photograph: what assembly sits under the topping, what maximum aggregate size the specification allows, and whether the panels for one floor were produced as one lot. A floor assembled from four purchases is a floor with four colours in it, and no amount of laying fixes that. Ask for the three answers before asking for the price.

This entry is a reference, not a claim of having supplied this project. It carries no price because there is no stock behind it. If a project like this is in front of you, send the drawing and the area, and we will quote against a real batch — cut to your formats, produced to one lot.
