Whether you're aiming to reduce material weight for easier installation, stay within budget without compromising on quality, or meet tight project timelines, we offer expert guidance to help you make informed choices.

The difference between 2 cm, 3 cm, and 5 cm slabs refers to the thickness of the stone, and this affects their usage, weight, durability, and installation.

1. 2 cm slabs (approximately 3/4 inch thick):

  • Usage: Commonly used for wall cladding, backsplashes, or lightweight countertops with additional support, such as a plywood base.

  • Weight: Lighter, making them easier to handle and install.

  • Durability: Less durable than thicker slabs but still appropriate for many residential applications.

  • Aesthetic: Sleeker and more modern look, particularly suitable for minimalist designs.

  • Installation: May require extra support or lamination on edges to achieve a thicker appearance.

2. 3 cm slabs (approximately 1 1/4 inch thick):

  • Usage: Most commonly used for kitchen countertops, vanities, and heavy-duty surfaces.

  • Weight: Heavier than 2 cm slabs, offering greater durability without needing extra support.

  • Durability: More durable and resistant to cracking or damage, making them ideal for high-traffic or heavy-use areas.

  • Aesthetic: Provides a solid, substantial look without requiring additional edge lamination.

  • Installation: Easier to install without the need for underlying support compared to 2 cm slabs.

3. 5 cm slabs (approximately 2 inches thick):

  • Usage: Primarily used for high-end, luxurious projects, including large kitchen islands, outdoor countertops, and statement pieces.

  • Weight: Significantly heavier, requiring specialized installation equipment and strong support.

  • Durability: Extremely durable and capable of withstanding heavy use, ideal for outdoor or high-traffic areas.

  • Aesthetic: Offers a bold, dramatic appearance with a very substantial, luxurious feel.

  • Installation: Requires more structural support and specialized handling due to the weight.

Each slab thickness suits different design needs and structural requirements depending on the project. The choice often depends on the balance between aesthetics, durability, and functional needs.
