Slabs

Factory-Direct Natural Stone Slabs — Wholesale Supply

Natural stone slabs are the foundation of the dimensional stone industry. At Phoenix Power Stone, we produce granite and marble slabs across 200+ stone varieties from our own quarries and partner quarries across China. Our 108,000 sqft factory in Shandong — one of China's premier stone processing regions — houses gangsaws, automatic polishing lines, and resin treatment facilities capable of producing over 200,000 square meters of finished slabs annually.

For importers and wholesale distributors, buying slabs factory-direct eliminates middleman margins. You gain control over block selection, quality grading, and production scheduling — critical advantages when supplying large-scale commercial projects or maintaining consistent retail inventory.

Slab Types and Applications

Granite Slabs

Granite slabs are the workhorse of the stone industry. With exceptional hardness (6-7 on Mohs scale), low water absorption (<0.4% for quality grades), and resistance to scratching, heat, and chemicals, granite is the preferred material for kitchen countertops, commercial flooring, building facades, and exterior applications. Popular Chinese granite varieties include:

• G654 (Sesame Grey) — Medium grey with consistent speckling. Our best-selling export granite for paving, cladding, and flooring.
• G684 (Pearl Black) — Dark grey-black with uniform color. Excellent value for commercial projects.
• G623 (Rosa Beta) — Pink-grey granite popular in European markets for building facades.
• Absolute Black / Shanxi Black — Deep uniform black. Premium countertop material, comparable to Indian Absolute Black at more competitive pricing.
• Maple Red / Multicolor Red — Warm red tones for decorative applications and feature walls.

Marble Slabs

Marble slabs offer timeless elegance with unique veining patterns that make each slab one of a kind. Softer than granite (3-5 on Mohs scale), marble is ideal for interior applications: bathroom vanities, feature walls, flooring in low-traffic areas, and decorative furniture. Chinese marble varieties gaining international recognition include:

• Calacatta White — White background with bold grey/gold veining. Comparable to Italian Calacatta at a fraction of the price.
• Panda White — Distinctive black-and-white pattern. Popular for statement interiors.
• Nero Marquina — Deep black with striking white veins. Dramatic, sophisticated.
• Wooden / Coffee Wood Marble — Warm brown tones with wood-like grain patterns. Trending for 2026 interiors.

Slab Quality Grades Explained

Always specify the required grade in your purchase order. At Phoenix Power Stone, we default to Commercial (B) grade or better unless the client specifies otherwise — we find this offers the best value-quality balance for most importers.

Surface Finishes

The same stone looks and performs dramatically differently depending on its surface finish:

• Polished — High-gloss mirror finish (80-95 GU at 60°). Brings out color depth and veining. Best for: interior countertops, feature walls, luxury flooring. Not recommended for wet exterior areas (slippery).
• Honed — Smooth, matte surface without shine. Softer, more natural appearance. Best for: bathroom floors, high-traffic commercial areas.
• Flamed — Rough, textured surface created by thermal shock. Excellent slip resistance. Best for: exterior paving, pool surrounds, driveways.
• Bush-Hammered — Uniform dimpled texture created by mechanical hammering. Decorative and slip-resistant. Best for: exterior facades, plazas.
• Flamed + Brushed — Flamed then wire-brushed for a worn, antique texture. Softened slip resistance. Best for: heritage renovations, Mediterranean-style projects.
• Sandblasted — Fine, uniform roughness. Subtle texture. Best for: decorative panels, signage, monuments.
