  Quick Answer Sintered stone can be used for wall tiles and flooring, but walls and floors need different selection logic. Wall tiles focus on size, joints, wall flatness, moisture resistance and visual effect.

Quick Answer For most imported granite slab orders, 20mm and 30mm are the two main thicknesses to compare. We normally recommend 20mm granite slabs for standard countertop production because they use less stone, cost less and provide better container efficiency.

Quick Answer By the time this decision comes up, the material is usually settled and the drawings already exist. The question is whether to ship slabs and fabricate them locally, or send the drawings to the supplier and receive finished cut-to-size pieces. For projects with reasonably stable drawings, we usually prefer fabrication at origin when the stone is sourced in Shuitou, China. Material sel...
