Larger size Basalt Slabs are sold at a premium where dimensions are over 24" wide, or longer than 72" and will be charged about a 20% premium. As an added feature you can have them thermal flamed for a greater slip resistance in wet or icy conditions.
Basalt Slabs are also ideal as Signage Stone for both residential and commercial applications. Typically extra effort is made to remove any residual saw marks (at additional cost) from the cutting process, and honed to a lustrous almost polished finish at our Huckleberry Stone Saw and Processing Plant located off Queens Way directly in the heart of Squamish.
The by-product of the processing of these slabs are a product called Basalt Skins. They feature a weathered outside crust and sawn inside section. Many feature a sawn bottom portion which allows the feature to stand firmly with great stability depending on depth of each particular stone. These Basalt Stand Up Skins are the perfect choice for residential address features at an afforable price point.
