Common Questions

What is the standard countertop depth?

Standard kitchen countertop depth is 25–25.5 inches (635–650 mm) from the wall to the front edge. Islands may be deeper.

How much countertop material should I order?

Order at least 10% extra for waste, seams, and cutouts for sinks and hobs. Complex layouts may need up to 20% extra.

Quartz (engineered stone) is one of the most durable and low-maintenance options. Granite is also very durable but requires periodic sealing.
