Half slabs

Reduce waste, save money.

A half slab is how you buy the color without paying for stone the room will not use. Right for a vanity. Also right for a kitchen.

Whispering Mist, Impact
Whispering Mist, Impact. Half slabs are Vicostone and Impact Quartz.

A vanity rarely needs a full slab. Buying one means paying for the rest, then storing it or throwing it out. A half slab is the piece the vanity actually takes.

Kitchens work the same way. If the layout needs a slab and a half, the second full slab is mostly waste.

Half slabs are Vicostone and Impact Quartz. Pattern, color, and texture can be matched from one half to the next.

An example, not a quote

An average 50 sq ft kitchen.

An average kitchen of about 50 square feet is usually two slabs. With a half slab, that same kitchen can be a slab and a half.

The stone you do not buy can save you thousands of dollars. That is an example, not a guaranteed quote. The color, the layout, and what is on hand change the number. Call before you specify.

Usually 2 full slabs

Shop layout. About 50 square feet. L run and return on one 130 by 65 inch slab. A 28 inch island leaves most of a second full slab unused.JOB · ABOUT 50 SQ FTL run · 25½"Returnseam78"Island · 28"120"NEST · 2 FULL SLABSL runseamReturnoffcutvein →130"65"Full slabIsland 28"Unused130"65"Full slab

About 50 sq ft. The L run and the return are both 25½″ deep, so they share one 130″ × 65″ slab, seamed at the inside corner. The island is the only piece on the second slab, and most of that slab is unused.

Same kitchen on 1½ slabs

The same kitchen. L run and return on one 130 by 65 inch slab. The 28 inch island fits a half slab ripped the long way, 130 by 32.5 inches.SAME JOB · ABOUT 50 SQ FTL run · 25½"Returnseam78"Island · 28"120"NEST · 1½ SLABSL runseamReturnoffcutvein →130"65"Full slabIsland 28"130"32½"Half slab · ripped long

The same L stays on one full slab. The island is 28″ deep, so it fits a half slab ripped the long way: 130″ long by 32½″ wide. The job is 1½ slabs instead of 2. The stone you do not buy can save you thousands of dollars. An example, not a quote.
