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.
Seams are often inevitable because of the limited size that granite can be quarried. Blocks of granite are cut into slabs by large multi-blade saws called gang saws, so called for having a âgangâ of saw blades. The maximum size that most gang saws can accommodate is 9-10 feet long and 4-5 feet high.
