FAQ
Common Questions
Why does stone weight matter for shipping?
Freight charges for heavy goods are based on actual weight rather than volume. Stone is dense — a single container of sandstone or granite can reach weight limits well before it is full by volume. Getting the weight right helps you plan logistics and avoid surprises.
How do densities differ between stone types?
Sandstone is lighter (about 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre) because it is more porous. Granite and marble are denser (2.7–2.75 t/m³). Limestone falls in between. These are averages — the actual density depends on the specific quarry and stone quality.
