Profit Margins in Stone
For a stone fabricator, the cost of the slab is the biggest variable. Should you import huge Gangsaw slabs or smaller Cutter slabs?
Cutter Slabs (Verticals)
Cost: 20-30% cheaper per sqft than gangsaw.
Dimensions: ~30 inches high x 8-10 feet long.
Use Case: Perfect for standard 25.5" kitchen countertops and 4" backsplashes.
ROI: High. You pay less for the material and have minimal waste if the kitchen is standard.
Gangsaw Slabs
Cost: Premium price.
Use Case: Mandatory for Islands (which are often 40-50 inches deep).
Strategy: Smart importers buy a mixed container: 70% Cutter Slabs (for perimeters) and 30% Gangsaw (for islands) of the same color like Black Pearl. This lowers the average material cost significantly.
