Granite countertops have been on-trend for many decades and have seen countless design shifts. The only constant was the thickness — 2 cm as the industry standard resisted the wind of changes and remained constant for years. However, either the wind got stronger, or designers got tired of the same thickness for each countertop, the result is the same: thicker countertops with their luxurious look attract more and more people. But how thick should we go? And in what cases the good old 2 cm countertop is still better? Certainly, all of it depends on your needs for the design. And today we will explore what factors you should consider and what granite countertop thickness is best for your project! 

Let’s Talk About Looks 

Regardless of whether you are remodeling your house or building a new hotel, the design is one of the first things you should consider. Do you want the bath or kitchen to look traditional and royal? A thicker countertop will help you enhance this look. On the other hand, if you are going for a modern and futuristic design, the thinner granite countertop will be a better fit. 

Make sure you take into account the design elements that are already settled. For example, wall design or kitchen cabinets.  

What About The Price

Cost often makes us reconsider the design we chose to fit the budget. Luckily, there are always ways to kill two birds with one stone and both save money and have an interior design of our dreams. 

Make sure to know the square footage of the total countertop space, including granite islands, bar tops, or cuts needed to be made. Now check with your contractor or supplier to know the whole price depending on the thickness difference.
