What is gneiss?

Gneiss is a common and widely distributed type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from pre-existing formations that were originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks. It is often foliated (composed of layers of sheet-like planar structures). The foliations are characterized by alternating darker and lighter colored bands, called "gneissic banding".

How many square meters of gneiss is contained in one pallet?

Generally one pallet contains 25 m2 of gneiss:
  • 1 pallet of Big / Small gneiss contains 27 rows = 25 m2
  • 1 pallet of Cutted gneiss contains 26 rows = 25 m2

What is the weight of one pallet of gneiss?

The average weight of one pallet of gneiss depends on the type of the gneiss (big, small, cutted, bones, etc.) and varies from 800 kg. (0.8 tons) to 1300 kg. (1.3 tons):
  • 1 pallet of Big gneiss weighs from 1000 kg. to 1100 kg. (from 1.0 tons to 1.1 tons)
  • 1 pallet of Small gneiss weighs from 800 kg. to 900 kg. (from 0.8 tons to 0.9 tons)
  • 1 pallet of Cutted gneiss weighs approximately 1000 kg. (1.0 tons)
  • 1 pallet of Floor gneiss weighs approximately 1300 kg. (1.3 tons)
