Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Oct 22, 2010 3:28 pm What size thickness do you all have for your kitchen bench? We're getting an island bench (rectangle) and it's the standard 20mm thick. We've got a pretty open kitchen/dinining/family area and I'm a little worried that it might get a little bit lost? Does anyone have a larger meals area here and what size did you go?

You bench was actually the one I had a mental picture of in my noodle and I was thinking it was bigger than that. When we started our colour appointment it had our bench loaded in as 80mm thick Land Deposit - 18/12/2009 Became a land Baron - 21/12/2010 Site Start - 27/1/2011 All moved in!!

Oh btw, how you going with keeping junk off you bench? Know you were worried about it during the build Land Deposit - 18/12/2009 Became a land Baron - 21/12/2010 Site Start - 27/1/2011 All moved in!! Re: Your bench thickness 7Oct 22, 2010 4:12 pm when they say 80mm it's actually 20mm with a fascia - the benchtop is never so thick - from what I remember CS comes only as 20mm or 30mm - anything else beyond these are actually fascias.
