How big are slabs of stone?

The size of the slabs will depend on the specific stone being considered. On average, granite slabs are 9’ x 5’, although you may find some that are larger. Marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx slabs will usually be smaller.

How much does a slab weigh?

While the density of each stone and the slab size will affect the weight. A 2cm marble will weigh approximately 600-700 pounds per slab.

What are book-matched slabs?

When a block of natural stone is processed, it is cut into slabs by a large gang saw which works much the same way as a bread slicer. Once the slabs are cut, they are laid flat to be polished, and then bundled together in the same order at the other end of the processing line. Book-matched slabs are slabs which were right next to each other, but have been polished on opposite sides. When these slabs are placed side by side, you will see that they are a near mirror image of each other--as in the picture below. Veining can be matched up by your fabricator to create one unbroken pattern. Book-matched slabs can be used with stunning results for large kitchen islands or for dramatic wall cladding in a commercial project.

Can granite scratch, chip, stain, or burn?

Granite is one of the hardest stones available. It cannot be scratched in ordinary use and will actually dull knives. The only materials that can scratch granite are tools designed specifically to cut it, such as those made of diamond or tungsten. Chipping only occurs when granite is severely abused with impact tools, like a hammer. If that happens, the chip can be filled with a mixture of granite dust and epoxy. Granite does not burn with ordinary use and is highly stain-resistant. A few colors, however, do absorb moisture with prolonged contact. Usually no evidence remains when the liquid is removed and the granite dries.

What is the difference between ceramic & porcelain tiles?

Ceramic tiles have been around for over 2000 years. They typically have a white or red clay biscuit with some form of glaze on top. Porcelain tile cost more than ordinary ceramic tile because you are getting a superior product. Porcelain tile requires the finest natural ingredients and a rigidly controlled manufacturing process that utilizes the most advanced processes and technology. Porcelain tiles are made from an extremely finely powdered clay tablet that is pressed under enormous pressure and heat - several hundred degrees hotter than ceramics. Porcelain tiles are much harder and more dense than ceramic tiles.
