Choosing the Right Granite Slab Thickness for Countertop

The right thickness ensures both functionality and longevity for your granite surfaces.

• Project Needs: The thickness of your granite slab isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. It hinges on your specific project requirements.
• Residential vs. Commercial: For everyday home use, a 2 cm (3/4 inch) slab typically offers enough strength. However, for high-traffic commercial or industrial settings, opting for a 3 cm (1 1/4 inch) slab is advisable to handle heavier loads.
• Usage Consideration: Think about the wear and tear your stone will face. If it’s for a busy area or under heavy objects, a thicker slab is your best bet for durability.
• Kitchen Countertops: Typically, kitchen granite countertops are 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) thick.
• Bathroom Countertops: For bathrooms, the standard thickness is around 0.75 inches (1.9 cm), as these are typically smaller installations.
• Custom Options: Pansheng Stone offers customized thickness options. Thicker slabs can create a bold statement, while thinner slabs can give a more delicate appearance. However, thinner slabs may need reinforcement or panel installation to ensure durability.

Remember, the right thickness can enhance the beauty and functionality of your space. Pansheng Stone can help you select the perfect thickness that meets both your aesthetic preferences and practical needs.
