What Is a Slab Countertop

Slabs are large pieces of natural stone or quartz that are large and unfinished. A slab countertop is custom cut from the raw slab of stone or a large piece of quarts. You’ll get to choose the edging, the dimensions, and the finish for the stone.

What is the difference between prefab and slab?

Prefab countertops will be cut in a regular shape with rounded edges and a finished surface. You may notice seams on a prefab piece of granite or marble. A full slab of stone will not have smooth, cut edges or a finished surface.

Is it cheaper to buy a slab of granite?

Slabs are more expensive than remnants, tiles, etc. That said, granite slabs are less expensive than slabs of other stones and you will be getting a surface that is well worth the cost. The cost of granite slabs is determined by many different factors, including color, texture, level and type.
