I prefer the 3cm s chunkiness.
2cm vs 3cm quartz countertops.
3cm 0 comment john palmer home improvement kitchen august 21 2020 you are looking at countertops and trying to decide what thickness would look best where.
For countertops that look extra thick an additional quartz overhang is installed but the actual quartz slab is still either 2cm or 3cm thick.
By using 3cm stones edge profiles do not have seams like laminated 2cm edges.
Choosing the right countertop thickness.
This is less of a consideration when used for countertops but it s still a factor to keep in mind.
It will depend on a number of factors.
Although the extra half inch between a 2cm and 3cm slab may not seem substantial in projects like kitchen backsplashes you wouldn t want the tile to come too far out and lose precious countertop space.
2cm is thick overall with a doubled 4cm lip on all exposed edges which provides a stronger visual for the countertop and also hides the sub decking that goes between the cabinet box and the stone.
This eliminates non matched laminated edges.
The main difference between 2cm centimetre and 3cm countertops is the thickness of the material.
If so the 2cm quartz may need more support than the 3cm quartz.
A standard 3cm countertop offers greater value and flexibility in designing a functional space for today s families.
I was looking at calcatta vicenza in matte honed because when i went to msi in norwood ma i found that the matte wasn t as busy of a pattern and it was a lighter more soothing design.
Comments 8 does anyone have any updates about the honed quartz.
Is there any part of your kitchen that includes an overhang for seating.
