Book matched and Four matched Slabs

Bookmatch Slab

Book Matching is a term which gained popularity in the stone industry in recent years. Book matched slabs are two or more slabs that are connected together to create a symmetrical pattern which reminds one of an open book. As the pattern starts from one stone, it continues to the surrounding stones and gives one the vision of a painting. If two slabs are connected to each other while creating a pattern it is called book match. If four slabs connect in order to create a pattern it is called Four Match.

Production and processing of book match slabs

Producing such difficult work of art takes place at the very beginning in the quarry. Square stone blocks are picked and then the pattern found and followed. After the stone is found the process begins by cutting the stone into slabs with 2 to 3 cm of thickness. Before polishing and smoothing, the slab patterns should be cut with regard to their pattern. After that, the polished slabs will be numbered and based on their number they will be installed.
