Slab Selection Guide
We know that choosing the right slab isn’t just about color or finish — it’s about getting it right the first time for your home or project. At Stone Galleria, we work with homeowners, architects, and builders every day, helping them select the right material that fits their needs, space, and budget.
That’s why we’ve created this step-by-step guide. It’s based on years of real conversations, questions, and on-site experience. Whether you're planning a new kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, or sourcing slabs for a commercial job, this guide is here to help you make informed decisions — without pressure or guesswork.
You don’t have to know everything about stone. You just need a place to start. This is that place.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SLAB
This step-by-step guide will help you move from browsing to final order — with clarity and confidence.

2. VISUALISE IN YOUR SPACE
Want to see how a slab might look in your space before finalizing? You can browse real project images under each product or send us a photo of your space. Using our augmented reality tools, we can generate an image overlay with the selected slab applied — giving you a clear idea of how it may appear after installation.
3. REQUEST SLAB PHOTOS & VIDEOS
We’ll send images & video walkarounds of actual stock. This helps you evaluate pattern movement, natural variation, and finish.
4. ASK FOR SAMPLES (Optional)
If needed, we offer small sample pieces to help you assess surface finish and texture in your own lighting conditions.
5. SEE IT IN PERSON (Optional)
Prefer to select in person? Schedule a visit. Our team will assist with slab viewing, finish matching, and answering technical questions.

TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS
These tips make your slab selection smoother, more confident, and aligned with your vision — so you get it right the first time.
Slab Selection Tips
- → Start with accurate site measurements. Know your countertop, floor, or wall area in square feet/meters to help filter slabs based on size and reduce wastage.
- → Not all slabs are ideal for every application. Consult your architect or interior designer if the selected stone fits your intended purpose.
- → Real project images help, but consider your room’s lighting. Natural light can change how colors appear. Request videos taken in daylight where possible.
- → Discuss edge trimming, corner rounding, and export-grade packaging at the time of booking. For overseas buyers, confirm container packaging and handling.
