What Is a Marble Slab — Use Cases

A slab is a large-format sheet obtained by slicing a raw block to standard thickness (typically 20mm or 30mm), with surface finishing completed. It can be used directly for facade/floor cladding, or supplied as raw material to be cut into smaller pieces for projects such as kitchen countertops. It is the most commonly chosen product among distributor and wholesaler customers.

Exterior Facade Cladding

Slabs used in mechanically hung facade systems provide both aesthetics and durability on building exteriors; Marmara White is the most preferred stone for this application.

Interior Walls and Flooring

Honed or polished slab is preferred for wall cladding and flooring in commercial spaces such as hotel lobbies, offices and shopping malls.

Kitchen and Bathroom Countertop Raw Material

Distributors purchase material in slab form and cut it to project dimensions on their own CNC lines to produce the finished product.

Stair Treads and Skirting

Standard slab is also supplied as raw material suitable for cutting into stair treads and skirting boards.

Turkish Marble Families Popular in Slab Form

Buyer demand for slab supply is generally concentrated in these 6 stone types:

Marmara White

The most preferred slab for exterior facade cladding projects, thanks to its bright, homogeneous texture; well suited to installation with mechanical anchoring systems.

Denizli Travertine

Offered in vein cut and cross cut slab options; with its warm beige-cream tone, it is preferred for hotel and exterior flooring projects.

Muğla White

A sapphire-grade white marble with fine grey veining; sees strong demand in slab form as raw material for kitchen countertops.

Afyon Sugar

A premium-grade slab with high whiteness, preferred for interior wall cladding.

Bergama Granite

A granite slab preferred for high-traffic flooring projects due to its high durability and abrasion resistance.

Isparta Onyx

A thin-cut slab (typically under 20mm) that stands out for backlit panel applications thanks to its semi-translucent structure.

Technical Specifications — Dimensions, Thickness, Finish

Standard dimensions, thickness and finish options form the basis of project compatibility for slab supply.

Standard Dimensions

The typical slab size is 2.5×1.5m at 20mm or 30mm thickness, yielding an average of 3.75 m² per slab. Intermediate sizes and strip (narrow) cuts are also considered.

Surface Finishes

Honed (matte), polished, leathered, brushed and tumbled for marble/travertine; flamed finish is offered specifically for granite.

Thickness Tolerance

A standard tolerance of ±1-2mm is applied in production; consistency is ensured through quality-control sampling on high-volume orders.

Container Capacity

A 20ft container has a carrying capacity of approximately 450 m² for 20mm-thick slab; this rises to approximately 900 m² for a 40ft container.

B2B Export Process

Incoterm, payment and delivery timeline are confirmed in writing at the quotation stage for slab export.

Incoterm Options

FCA (delivered at the Sakarya workshop), CIF (delivered to the destination port, insured and freight paid) or DAP (delivered to a specified point) options are offered depending on buyer requirements.

Minimum Order

The standard minimum order is 1 container (20ft, ~450 m² capacity) of slab material; smaller-volume LCL (less-than-container load) requests are also considered.

Payment Terms

L/C (letter of credit) is standard for first orders with new customers; for established customers, a 30% advance + 70% TT before shipment model is considered.

Export Insurance

For high-volume orders, export credit insurance options under Türk Eximbank are considered at the buyer's request.

Production Time

Standard slab orders take 3-4 weeks of production time; requests for special finishes (leathered, flamed) can extend this timeline.

Packaging and Logistics

The thin, fragile nature of slabs requires a specialised A-frame support system during packaging.

A-Frame Metal Rack

Slabs are placed on A-frame metal racks that keep them upright and stable during transport; this system minimises the risk of breakage.

Corner Protection + Plastic Wrap

The corners of each slab are reinforced with corner guards for impact protection, while the surface is wrapped in plastic sheeting against moisture and dust.

Pallet Mounting

The A-frame rack is secured to a wooden pallet to prevent tipping during transport, and loaded into the container.

Ports and Shipment

Container shipments are organised from the ports of İzmit and Gemlik; transit time to the destination port is communicated at the quotation stage.
