How much does a slab of marble cost?
Marble slabs for sale can cost anywhere from $600 to $2200 per square metre on average. The reason for the wide range in price is due to the fact that there are many different types of available marble in Australia. Carrara marble, for example, is towards the more economical end of the spectrum while Calacatta marble is one of the priciest types of marble stone. Remember that installation costs, including labour and any additional cuts or amendments to your marble slab, will need to be taken into account as well.

Granite Slabs
Granite is an igneous rock and natural stone, which is made up of quartz, micas and other trace minerals and comes in a spectrum of colours and textures.
Magma forms below the surface of the earth, then slowly cools – this is how granite is created. As the magma cools, the amount of each mineral present can vary, which is what leads to large amounts of variations.
This high-quality natural stone is both durable and functional around the home. As it is heat, bacteria and water resistant, there are many diverse ways to use granite around the home, which is why it’s such a popular material.
Kitchen benchtops: granite slabs are very useful in the kitchen due to it being a natural stone. This means it can withstand day-to-day use, such as heat and scratches. When it’s properly sealed, it is bacteria and stain resistant, which is ideal when it comes to food prep and ensuring health safety.
Bathroom granite vanity tops: as it is resistant to water, mould and bacteria, granite is ideal for the bathroom. It also serves well in the bath itself.
Granite backsplash: equally functional as a backsplash, it acts as an ideal barrier between the water and wall. Using the same type of granite as the vanity tops, also gives an appealing consistency visually.
Granite flooring: as it is resistant to bacteria, granite makes a great choice for smooth surface flooring, which looks good. It’s also easy to clean, and with regularly sweeping, it’s easy to keep it in good condition.
Pavements: using granite in the outdoor area such as a patio, or driveway brings the exterior of a house to life.

Yes. It’s a suitable material for both inside and outdoor applications. We see many clients using travertine indoors, in the kitchen, outside; on the patio, driveway, in the garden and for the swimming pools (this includes around the pool – as the pool deck). Due the chemical composition of travertine, it means that the material is suitable for both chlorinated pool areas and salt water pool areas. We do not recommend it as a material for the cladding of the actual pool, as the material is not water tight.
