Irregular slabs also known as porphyry slab, opus incerta, mosaic, palladiana are used for outdoor paving (courtyards, sidewalks, driveways, gardens) and cladding (road and building walls, terraces, etc.). the surface is natural quarry plane. For indoor paving, it can also be laid with semi-gloss or glossy surface. Slabstone consists of irregularly shaped porphyry slabs distinguished into various types according to their thickness and size:
- Normal type (driveway with light traffic)
- Thin type (pedestrian pavements)
- Giant type (driveway)
- Thin giant type (pavements with light traffic)
