Countertops, worktops, benchtops: one slab, many markets

The stone, the thickness and the slab are the same wherever the kitchen is; the word changes with the country, and so does the unit on the quotation.

United States and Canada

Countertops and vanity tops, quoted by the square foot or the square metre.

Slabs for your shop, or tops cut to your drawings

Polished slabs, 2 cm and 3 cm

Slabs polished on the face, at 2 cm or 3 cm, for fabricators who cut and finish locally. Tell us the stone, the thickness and the area you need, in square metres or square feet; a mixed container is fine.

Countertops and vanity tops to drawing

Send the drawings and we cut the countertops and vanity tops to them, mark every piece to your plan and crate them so they can be opened in installation order.

How much fits in a 20 ft container

Granite slabskg per m², packed≈ m² per container≈ sq ft per container
2 cm, polished59.4421 m²4,530 sq ft
3 cm, polished89.1281 m²3,020 sq ft

At 25 tonnes of payload including packing, the same basis as our container-loading table. A 20 ft container carries about 25 tonnes at sea, but US road limits usually allow less once it sits on a chassis, and the limit depends on the state and the trucker's equipment. Tell us the cargo weight your trucker can take and we load to it.

Container loading for every stone and thickness

Buying from Egypt

Minimum order

One 20 ft container. Several granites, marbles and thicknesses can share it.

Your own slabs

Photographs of the slabs packed for your order before the container is loaded, at Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna.

Payment

50 % in advance, 30 % on approval after production and 20 % before shipping.

Documents and tests

Commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading; certificate of origin on request. For the stone you select we arrange water absorption, flexural strength and abrasion tests at an accredited laboratory.

Buying granite countertop slabs from Egypt

Which Egyptian granite is best for kitchen countertops?

Every granite on this page is used for kitchen tops; the choice is colour and pattern. The warm ones are Aswan Red, Gandola, Rosa El Nasr and Red Aswan Dark; the pale ones Bianco Halayeb and White Aswan; the dark one Black Aswan; and there are greens and a brown. Ask for photographs of the actual slabs before you choose, because natural stone varies from block to block.

Do you supply 2 cm and 3 cm slabs?

Yes, polished, at 2 cm and 3 cm. Tell us the thickness for each stone when you ask for the quotation.

Can you cut the countertops to our drawings?

Yes. We cut countertops and vanity tops to your drawings, mark every piece to your plan and crate them so they can be opened in installation order.

How much granite fits in a 20 ft container?

About 421 m² (≈ 4,530 sq ft) at 2 cm and about 281 m² (≈ 3,020 sq ft) at 3 cm, at 25 tonnes of payload including packing. US road limits can mean less: tell us the weight your trucker can take.

Can the stone be tested to ASTM?

Ask at quotation stage rather than after production. For the stone you select we arrange water absorption, flexural strength and abrasion tests at an accredited laboratory.

What is the minimum order?

One 20 ft container. Several granites, marbles and thicknesses can share one load.

Tell us the stone, the thickness and the area.
