SQUARE SLABS
SQUARE SLABS
The square slabs have a square or rectangular shape. Depending on the natural stone, they are made by shearing, achieving cleft edges, or by cutting and therefore with sawn edges; the surface can be natural with variable thickness depending on the schistiness of the material, or with a finished surface and consequent fixed thickness.They are divided into two categories:
END-TO-END SQUARE SLABS
They commonly have variable thickness, fixed width and variable length from a minimum size corresponding to the width up to a maximum of two or three times its value.Commercial sizes:

IRREGULAR SLABS
IRREGULAR SLABS
Irregular slabs have irregular shapes made mainly by shearing with the upper surface having natural cleft surface and cleft edges, in some cases even sawn, with variable thickness. For some stones this size can be obtained from remnants of slabs with a processed surface (for example flamed), the sides will be totally or partly sawn, the thickness will be constant. They have irregular shapes with subdivisions based on the average size.
