12 years ago

Contractor asked if we wanted our waterfall countertop to be 2 cm or 3 cm in thickness. Countertop will be on corner cabinet unit in bathroom, It is made of Linen Casesarstone and will be on top of white high glass
wood. Back splash will be either 2.5 inches or 5 inches of
mosaid tile. Thank you

Agree with Dytecture. Whatever the top thickness is, that wraps down the side. Don't put a thin side "waterfall" with a thicker top.

It can be either. Consider scale of room and other detailing, such as cabinet doors or room molding. Post floor plan and photo of cabinet door style and other detail for better answers.

The counter thickness should be the same coming along the side as well.

ok,.... I will agree with sstarr.... if I have too (; My personal preference is the thicker is better. So, either 3cm or built-up 2 layers of 2cm.

Id request a mitred corner. Very clean & seamless appearance. Now you only have 1 choice

This suggestion is only if I understand your question. I interpret that its being suggested that you can mix the thickness of the top stone with the thickness of the waterfall stone. 2 separate units, correct?
