30mm kitchen worktops, 20mm kitchen worktops, and 12mm kitchen worktops, there are different thicknesses available nowadays for your kitchen counters. But when picking a material for your kitchen countertop, go with something strong and long-lasting because it will be under a lot of weight and pressure from heavy appliances, sinks, and hobs. Kitchen worktops in the 30mm thickness can endure any size hob or sink without any problems because they are more robust, tougher, and lasting than worktops in the 20mm thickness. But that also doesn’t mean other thicknesses are completely useless. It is definitely not that. There are a lot of factors on which the choice of thicknesses depends. Every thickness of stone slab is useful in some way or the other, about which we will learn by the end of the article.

 

Why is Kitchen Worktop Thickness Important to Consider?

It makes sense that a kitchen worktop should be constructed with a durable surface material because they are subjected to daily intensive use and are intended to last. And since they are also among the most useful kitchen appliances they are easily noticed by onlookers and visitors.  Buying kitchen worktops should be your first priority when remodelling your kitchen. The cost of kitchen countertops varies but in any case, they still are a heavy investment. This necessitates giving your purchase some considerable thought. To do this, you must refrain from making snap selections regarding the kitchen worktops you buy. Regardless of whether you’re looking for a thickness of 30 mm or more, a substance like quartz or granite, you must conduct some research by yourself because you definitely do not want to be lamenting over a huge investment that turns up to be something you don’t like, or even worst, something that doesn’t last long.

Why are 30mm and 20mm Worktops not the Same Price?

The price difference between 20mm kitchen worktops and 30mm kitchen worktops is not unknown. And homeowners are often seen having a huge dilemma over the choice due to the difference in price even if it is not much. Since 30mm kitchen worktops have more material than a 20mm worktop, it naturally means a little bit more cost involved. The price difference between a stone that is 20 mm thick and 30 mm thick is typically 30% since a worktop that is 30 mm thick requires around the same proportion more material than a 20 mm worktop. When labour and fabrication costs are taken into account, 30mm kitchen worktops will often cost 15% more than a 20mm worktop overall, which is not a significant difference if you need a specific thickness surface for your project. Many homeowners, as well as architects, real estate developers, and interior designers favoured 20mm worktops since they are less expensive and have a more modern appearance.
