STONE SIZES AND THICKNESS

1. What are typical stone sizes?

Different standard sizes available in tiles are 12”x12”, 16”x16, and 18”x18”.

Also available sizes are 4”x4”, 6”x6”, 8”x8” and 24”x24”. The slab sizes varies

from 104” x 70” to 125” x 80”. There are smaller sizes available too.

This is depending upon material. The thickness of the slabs is

generally ¾” (2cm) and 1 ¼” (3cm). Slates and Quartzites are

produced in nominal and not exact sizes.

2. How can I decide which sizes are appropriate?

The size to be selected is completely a personal choice. However the sizes

of the tiles should be proportionate to the size of the room or the visible area

of the room. Smaller the size of the room, smaller the size of the tiles to be

used should be. This helps in bringing out the colors and look of the stone.

4. How Granite Counter Top differ from Corian Counter Top?

Granite is Natural Stone and Corian is a man made material. As corian is a plastic

based material, it is more prone to Scratches, and Deformation and Loss of Finish

due to Heat. Granite is more durable and easier to maintain, as it is relatively

scratch resistance compared to Corians which are more prone to stains than Granites.

The beauty of Granite cannot be imitated by Corian. Granite comes in more vibrant

and wider range of colors than Corian. Corians are also more expensive than most granite.

Granite lasts longer, and requires lesser maintenance.

5. What is stone pattern?

A combination of different sizes can be placed together to make a pattern.

This adds to the beauty and uniqueness of the stone installed. Of late the

use of patterns has become trendy.
