    We are evaluating proposals to remodel our kitchen with granite. The quote from HomeDepot is higher but their granite is 1 and a quarter inch thick. A specialty store will be about 20% lower but their granite is only three quarters inch thick. The warranty is 10 years for 3/4″ and 15 years for 1 and 1/4″.

    Of course the thicker the better. But to a practical point, how thick is good enough? We probably will stay here for a long long time.

    Thanks!

    Put thicker plywood under it and get a thick bullnose – that 3/4 will look the same thickness

    The bullnose on the 3/4″ wraps around to make it looks really thick. For the 1-1/4″, we actually have to pay extra for bullnose and it does not wrap around. It just has a smoother edge.

    I’m a laminate person myself.
    I suspect that granite is like tile– if you set your dishes down on it too hard, they will crack (no give to stone or tile).
