In the stone industry, thickness of countertop refers to the depth of the slab used for your countertops, typically measured in centimeters (cm).
The most common thicknesses for residential countertops are 2 cm countertop (approximately 3/4 inch) and 3 cm material (approximately 1 1/4 inches).
The 2cm thickness (3/4 inches) is a standard choice for kitchen countertops. This is a thinner countertop. It’s sturdy enough for most uses and can bear the weight of appliances
The 3cm thickness (1 1/4 inches) is the more robust. These are thicker countertops. It provides ample support for any countertop application and there is no need for edge buildup.
It’s often better to opt for a 3 cm thickness to ensure better durability. This also eliminates the need for plywood reinforcing, which is often required for thinner counters.
