What is the Jumbo Size for Quartz Slabs?
When it comes to interior design and construction, understanding what is the appropriate material sizes is pertinent to the aesthetics and utility of a space. When it comes to quartz countertops and massive installations, the jumbo slab size of quartz is a major player in satisfying the need for the continuous coverage of surface at a large scale. The typical dimensions of quartz jumbo slabs and how they are advantageous for design applications are discussed in this article.
Defining Jumbo Slabs
Jumbo-size quartz slabs are bigger-than-average engineered stone pieces (used in the production of kitchen islands, countertops and other similar installations that seamlessness is required). These slabs can cover much more land with less slabs, resulting in a cleaner and more consistent look.
Standard Dimensions
Quartz jumbo slabs have a standard size that varies depending on the manufacture, however are typically around 63 to 65 inches in width and 126 to 130 inches long. The sizes are substantially larger than standard quartz slabs, which typically range from 56 inches wide by 120 inches long. The larger size of jumbo slabs reduces the need for seams in more ample areas, bringing the natural stone surface of choice for modern kitchen designs, where an uninterrupted sheet is desired.
Thickness Options
The area dimensions establish the 'jumbo' part, but the thickness of these slabs can also differ, which can be used for your different needs or design preferences. Some common thicknesses for quartz jumbo slabs are :
2 cm ( 0.79 inches): Used on projects where weight is a concern. Common scenarios include wall panels and backsplashes.
3 cm (about 1.18 inches): Typically used for countertops and high-traffic areas, these slabs are stronger and more durable.
Benefits of Using Jumbo Slabs
Aesthetic Value: Less seams create a smoother surface for a more attractive finish where the natural beauty and pattern continuity of quartz shine.
A bunk of sizes does not mean reducing installation time, or even directly resulting in reduced manpower costs.
Applications: Suitable for both residential and commercial use, versatile jumbo slabs.
What To Look For In Making A Selection Of Jumbo Slabs
Price: Due to the size and manufacturing process, jumbo slabs can be more expensive up front.
Maintenance: Big sized and heavy weight of jumbo slabs need high-end professional for handling and installing to considerable safe and stop to damage.
Jumbo Slabs Are Not Always Readily Available: Not all manufacturers or suppliers will get jumbo slabs. They will, however, be more or less available based on your location and supplier.
What are the Qualities of Quartz Jumbo Slabs
Jumbo slabs are available from a number of premier quartz manufacturers and are typically accessible only through select distributors or direct from the manufacturer for custom projects. We recommend contacting your suppliers direct to find out what is available in your region.
Final Thoughts
Quartz jumbo slab sizes are the perfect choice for anyone working on larger areas with a more open and seamless look in mind. Adding a jumbo production facility—in Savannah, GA—further extends the depth of Clio's product offerings and now supplies stones from 126 x 63 x 3 cm to 126 x 63x 2cm, facilitating the use of the through-body veining found in many of today's trending slabs as the next step up in the modern open-concept design movement.
