How to choose the suitable marble slab?

You should know the factors to consider when choosing marble slab.
If you have a large room, it’s better to buy a larger slab than a small one so that the space will be more comfortable.
Choose according to your needs & budget: if you want to buy it for decoration purposes, then choose something with good quality but not too expensive; if you are going to use it as part of your kitchen furniture or bathroom furniture, then buy something cheap but durable.

When choosing a marble slab, you should pay attention to 5 things below.

1. Checke the color of the marble

The first thing you need to do when choosing a marble slab is to check the color of it. The color of your marble slab should match the color of your wall and furniture, as well as other decorative items in the room. The reason for this is that if your wall has an orange tone, then you would want to choose a white or light-colored marble slab so that it will not clash with the wall’s shade.

For example: If there are two people who want to buy a new house and one wants a white house while another wants one painted green then it wouldn’t be possible because these two colors will clash with each other even though they are different shades but both belong in different categories! So make sure that whatever color scheme/theme goes on within any given area (like kitchen) will work harmoniously throughout every room before making any decisions about which pieces should go where – including countertops!

2. Check the thickness of the marble slab

The thickness of the slab is an important factor to consider when choosing your marble slab.
The thicker the slab, the more expensive it is and vice versa.
A thicker slab will be more durable than a thinner one. It can withstand wear and tear much better because its grain structure is denser than that of thinner slabs. This makes it hardier against scratches and dents as well as less susceptible to cracking, chipping or splitting over time like some thinner slabs may do over time (especially if they are not properly maintained). Additionally, since it’s usually made from large pieces of stone cut out from mountainsides in quarries – which requires large machinery like cranes – having large pieces makes for easier transportation so you don’t have to worry about breaking anything during shipping like some smaller-sized pieces might require!

3. Marble vein direction

The marble vein direction is the direction of the veins on a slab.
Veins can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.
Veins can also be straight or curved and large or small in width.

4. Marble surface finishing

It’s important to consider the marble surface finishing when choosing your slab.

Polished: The marble slab is polished smooth with diamond wheels by skilled craftsmen. It has a beautiful shine and can be used for countertops, flooring and other interior design applications.
Honed: This polished finish has been lightly sanded to give it a soft look without losing its luster or sheen. Honed marble slabs are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, fireplaces and more because they’re not too shiny but still have some sheen to them (and you don’t want anything too matte).
Flamed: Flame polishing leaves a pattern of flame marks on the surface of each piece of stone; these unique markings make it attractive as well as durable. It’s also what gives lava rock its characteristic appearance!

5. Marble price

The price of a marble slab is mainly determined by the quality and size. The higher the quality, the more expensive it is. The larger the size, the more expensive it is. The price of marble slab is also affected by location. For example, South Africa has a better reputation for producing high-quality white marble slabs than China or India do. Therefore, South African white marble slabs are generally more expensive than Chinese or Indian white marble slabs in terms of price per square meter.

When choosing a marble slab, you should consider some factors below to choose the most suitable one for your home.

Color: The first thing you need to pay attention to is the color of the marble slab. For example, if you want it as a flooring material, then you must choose the one with light or neutral colors like white and beige because these kinds of floors are easy to match with other furniture in your rooms; moreover, they can make your house look modern and stylish. On the contrary, if you want it as an interior decoration material such as countertops or vanity tops then dark colored slabs will be more suitable for them because they’ll bring dramatic effect when placed next to bright colored cabinets or tiles in bathroom areas.
Thickness: The thickness also plays an important role when choosing a slab since thin slabs tend not only leave visible seams but also require additional workmanship during installation process (such as cutting into smaller pieces). So if there’s enough budget available then go ahead and buy thicker slabs which will increase durability along with appearance

Conclusion

In the process of selecting marble slabs, it is necessary to pay attention to 5 aspects. First of all, you should check the color of the marble slab. Secondly, check the thickness of the marble slab. Thirdly, in order to make sure that there is no color difference or other issues between each piece when they are laid together next to each other, you should check their vein directions.
