Answer
What size block does Giallo Siena marble come from?
Sizes and formats, and what is held
Average block size 2.50 to 3.20 m by 1.30 to 1.70 m by 1.30 to 2.00 m. Slabs are preferably cut along the grain and against the grain — that is, the hard way, because that is how the published slab sizes come out of a block of this size.
The figures
| Property | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Average block size | 2.50–3.20 m × 1.30–1.70 m × 1.30–2.00 m | Published block and slab characteristics |
| Preferred cutting direction | Along the grain and against the grain | Published block and slab characteristics |
| Pre-sawing treatment | Vacuum resin recommended before sawing | Published block and slab characteristics |
Why this stone behaves this way
The block size is the constraint on every slab size, and it is the first thing that has to be settled before a cut list can be checked. Cutting in two directions is slower and it is what makes the yield work.
What these figures are, and what they are not These are published averages for the material, not the dimensions of any particular block. A block is selected against the job, not the other way round.
