  • The higher price of this granite is due to more popularity than the Rosy Pink Granite. The difference in popularity changes the difference between demand and supply. This cost us more money to buy.

  • There is a difference of 100$ per slab in a commercial quality slab and a premium quality slab of Black Galaxy Granite.
  • The same price difference also comes in material such as Absolute Black, Tan Brown, etc.

THICKNESS IMPACT

  • If you are buying 3 cm thick material, the price of the material will be higher around 30 to 40% than the 2 cm thick granite slab.
  • If you are buying good quality Galaxy Granite and let’s say the price is 6$ for 2 cm thick slabs. Then the price of 3 cm slab shall be around 7.75$ to 8.15$ per square feet or 470~490$ per slab.
  • This is the difference due to high recover loss in thicker material. If I get 60 slabs of 2 cm from a block, then I will get around 40 to 45 slabs in 3 cm thickness.
  • Also, there will be an increase in transportation cost etc. It will add to the price of material and the slab will be expensive.

SIZE IMPACT

Granite slabs come in different sizes.

There are 3 major types of sizes in Granite.

  • Small Slabs 65 to 90 cm x 180 to 300 cm
  • Medium Slabs 120 cm to 120 cm x 240 cm to 320 cm
  • Jumbo Slabs 180 to 210 cm x 280 to 340 cm

The longer the slab, the higher the price.

Small slabs of 2 cm thick Extra Choice Galaxy is around 3$ per square feet.

One small slab has an area of 20 square feet approximately.

So the slabs price will be around 60$ per small slabs.

Jumbo slabs of 2 cm thick Extra Galaxy Granite is around 6$ feet. and the slab area is 60 Feet. So the price will be around 360$ per slab

Which is almost double if we go by square feet calculations. The price of big slabs is almost double in many materials.

FINISHING IMPACT ON COST OF GRANITE

Finishing also has an Impact on the price of Granite. There are different types of finishing available in the market these days such as Polished, Honed, Flamed, Leather, River etc.

Generally, the price of Polished, Honed and Flamed is similar and other finishing such as Leather, River, Bush Hammered, Sandblast, Shotblast are expensive.

This is due to the high production cost of different finishing. In difficult finishing, materials can also break so it adds up to the cost of slabs.
