A slab is a thick, broad piece of slate stone, which can be further used to create a large variety of artifacts and things of use in the kitchen, living rooms or gardens. When the slate's cleavage is not very pronounced, thick slabs can be produced which have a great variety of uses such as gravestones, snooker tables, mortuary slabs, and to keep food cool in kitchens.

All the slate stone artifacts are available in different finishes and dimensions. Manufacturers are adept at providing custom designs to suit different applications.
