A slab is a large sheet of stone cut directly from the block. It gives a continuous surface with few joints and unbroken natural veining.
In a book-matched layout, two consecutive slabs open like the pages of a book, which is only possible with slabs cut in sequence from one block.
Inspect slabs in daylight, and check the resin, the backing mesh and the edges.
Slabs are moved upright on an A-frame, and wall installations need suitable mechanical anchoring.
