If you want I can take a picture and attach it. I would be concerned about a large over hang with 20mm and if we had known about the board underneath we might have gone for 40mm stone instead. You can't easily see it but I know it's there.

This reference states that a 300 mm overhang is acceptable: http://www.uhny.com/pdf/caesarstone_tech_datasheet.pdf However, this reference states a 200 mm is the maximum: http://media.caesarstoneus.com/pdf/CS_TDM_0511.pdf The first reference is dated 2005 and the second dated 2010. So, when my house was being build, 300 mm overhang was allowed. I suspect conservatism has stepped in and now 200 mm maximum is recommended. In either case, I would never stand on the overhang.

Chatz Re: 300mm kitchen bench overhang with 20mm stone 14Jan 27, 2012 6:17 am Does it make a difference if you have waterfall edge as you then have support for the 300mm overhang on each edge?? Re: 300mm kitchen bench overhang with 20mm stone 15Jan 27, 2012 9:23 pm thanks chatz. kdgirl - waterfall edge will have support only at the end. stone's manual says that any overhang more than 200mm should have some supports underneath at some regular distances. Re: 300mm kitchen bench overhang with 20mm stone 19Apr 28, 2012 6:32 pm deb17 We have 200mm overhang on ours. I have seen Henley Homes with ones that hang over much more than ours. I would say 400mm. does that henley homes with 400 overhang has 20mm stone? Thanks Ardo, they are sort of semi concealed. I think it is only a few millimetres. I see if they can adjust the hinges. 4 3794 In the end, two pieces of treated timber (20mm thick) were bolted onto the joists and planed when there was too much sticking out.
