Slabs for Kitchen-Countertops
Slabs can be used for cut-to-size pieces, such as countertops and stairs. Moinho has a year round line production of slabs, in normal size or Extra Long. During excavation planning inside the quarry of the specific banks for slabs we determine the lengths and heights of the slabs.
