Manually separating granite slabs might seem labor-intensive, but it’s a strategic choice. This method is mainly used when the goal isn’t to produce large slabs for countertops or floors, but rather smaller pieces like stairs, columns, or decorative mosaics. Large slabs have a higher cost and often don’t make sense for smaller projects. Additionally, manual control allows for better use of the block, respecting the stone’s natural characteristics and minimizing waste. This approach also helps cater to more specific markets, offering materials in sizes and prices that are more accessible, while maintaining the quality and beauty of granite. #marble #marblestone #produce #strategic #quality
