In general should i be putting in 5 8 or 3 4 plywood finished installing cabinets for my kitchen and getting ready to call a vendor to take measurements for granite slab.
Thickness of plywood under granite countertop.
Because a granite tile must cover the face or front of the counter as well many granite tile counters will be approximately 1 inch thick in total.
For example granite tiles are 3 8 inch thick and are installed over a plywood underlayment.
3cm material can go directly on top of the cabinets without the need for plywood support.
Plywood used as a finished worktop surface should be 1 8 or inch material which should be thick enough for durability.
The type and thickness of plywood you use depend on the weight and type of the finish material.
As for overhang depth 4 for 2 cm and 8 for 3 cm is fair.
Sometimes we laminate two pieces of 3 cm material together and in turn require 3 cm of plywood buildup.
However for granite with a thickness of 2 centimeters about 3 4 inches you will definitely need to use plywood for support.
You can use a variety of types of products as finish materials when building counter tops ranging from granite slabs and tiles to butcher block wood ceramic tile and marble tiles.
While there are three standards of granite slab counters other sizes are available.
Three centimeters is the preferred thickness for both quartz and granite countertops for most countertop fabricators designers and architects.
Whether or not a plywood build up is required depends on the edge detail.

When installing granite countertops you will not need an underlayment of plywood if the granite has a thickness of 3 centimeters about 1 1 4 inches.
It offers the most durability size flexibility and color options.
