Granite Slab – Uses, Size and Characteristics of Granite Slabs


Granite Slab

Granite is one of the most popular building materials in the market. It is useful for both interior and exterior application. Granite is one of the hardest types of stones available and granite slabs are part of it. They are known for their heat resistance and resistance to wear. Granite is used for making buildings, bridges, paving, monuments, etc. In your house you may use granite as the countertop, tile floors, stair treads, etc. Granite gives an impressive look which makes it very popular for general use in the modern market. However, when you are using Granite, it is very important to focus on the granite slab size. If you get the Granite slab size wrong, then it could turn out to be very problematic. Granite is a very hard substance. Therefore, cutting it or making small changes to it is next to impossible.


Most of the time, granites are cut in general dimensions. Granite fabricators usually have granite slabs with them. When a customer specifies the granite slab size that he wants to buy, then the fabricator cuts them accordingly. When handling Granites you should be careful as they are very heavy.


Huge blocks of granite are cut into slabs, the size of which ranges from ¾ of an inch to 1 ¼ inch in thickness. Granite slabs are cut to make it easier for transportation. Granite slabs requires regular cleaning and polishing. On average granite slabs are approximately 112 inches in length and 65 inches in width. It is estimated that ¾ inch of a granite slab weighs around 12.8 lbs per square foot. When 8 to 10 granite slabs are put together they are called Granite slab bundles. These bundles are separated from each other by plastic sheets. Each bundle in the granite slab weighs around 5700 lbs approximately.

How To Calculate or Estimate Long-span Aluminium Roofing Sheets.

Aluminium roofing sheets, they come in rolls of average of 600mm to 1300mm depends on the manufacture and specifications. As stated in previous articles, the aluminium sheets comes in rolls at the factory just like toilet rolls but with different widths and thickness based on specifications. Calculating the roof required could be done by calculating the surface area in square meters of the area covered by the aluminium and for some companies it could be calculated in meter lengths ,knowing the width which is 600mm above as constant. For a simple gable roof as shown in pic 1 with length of 25.2m. First you must know the height of roof from the section. For this sample we are taken the eight to be 3meters (10 feet)to know the length of leaf “x” or “y” Remember the pythagoras theorem x2=32 +6.12 x=6.8m Hence the area of roof is (6.8 i.e x)+6.8 i.e y) multiply by length 25.2m=342.72m2 If the width of the roof comes in 600mm or 0.6m, the length of the roof
