G,
If you are only concerned about restoring the granite surface and
the stone is attached correctly to the counter the thickness does not
matter you will never grind through it in your life time unless you grind it
everyday.
The product you are referring to granite that is 3/8 inch thick
and made especially for going over existing countertops. We grind 3/8 inch
granite tiles on floors and I have seem 3/8 inch tiles on countertops , no
difference with a 3/8 inch slab

Subject: [sccpartners] Stone Thickness Question
I hope this doesn't sound silly but here it goes...
Is the industry standard thickness of granite counters 3cm?
I know there is this stone product that companies place on top of the existing
counters which I would assume is a lot thinner than a real slab of
granite. However, in the life of a restoration pro, does it truly matter
how thick the stone is in order to work on the counter?
