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.

These figures determine what equipment is needed at destination. Full slabs normally arrive as upright wooden bundles or A-frame-type supports. Cut-to-size pieces, project pieces and tiles normally arrive in wooden crates or pallets. Our stone ...
