Often synonymous with Zydeco music, Cajun music differs in its roots. Zydeco developed from the Creoles, a people of mixed French (those not descended from Acadian refugees,) Spanish and Native American descent.
Slab size. When you choose your stone, youâll want to know how many slabs you need and what thickness of stone to buy. An average granite slab size is about 9 to 10 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet tall (slabs are displayed vertically). A typical slab may be 50 square feet but with waste and granite remnants, it may yield only 35 square feet of stone counters. Most kitchens need multiple granite slabs â Countertops can be seamed. The size of the slabs can affect how many seams end up in your kitchen counters and where they must be placed.
Slab Thicknesses and Weight. Granite slabs are typically either 3/4 inch or 1 1/4 inches thick. The thicker slabs usually weigh approximately 19 pounds per square foot, while the thinner slabs weigh less than 13 pounds per square foot.he typical surface area of a slab is about 45 square feet, but because there will be some waste during the process of cutting the slab into a counter top, the usable yield of a slab will be much less than that. Consequently, large kitchen counter projects will often require more than one slab.
