How thick should a countertop be?
Under typical industry practices granite and stone kitchen countertops are usually 1-1/4″ thick and bathroom vanities 1″ thick. To ensure the greatest satisfaction with your stone surfaces, Precision Stoneworks exceeds this standard by making kitchen countertops a full 1-3/4″ thick and bath and cabinetry tops 1-1/2″ thick. Thicker slabs and surfaces reduce chances of cracks or breaks, leading to the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment of granite surfaces in the home over a lifetime.
