What is the standard thickness of a wooden worktop?

The standard thickness of a wooden worktop ranges between 20 mm and 40 mm depending on its use and the type of wood chosen. The most common thicknesses for domestic use are 30 mm and 38 mm.

Criteria influencing the thickness:

  • Intended use: heavy or occasional kitchen use
  • Span between supports: distance between supporting furniture
  • Type of wood: solid wood, plywood or wood-based panel
  • Desired look: slim or solid appearance

For a standard kitchen, a 30 mm thickness offers an excellent balance between strength and appearance. Custom-made wooden worktops can be tailored to your technical needs and visual preferences.

A thicker top increases strength but also adds weight and reduces the space under the worktop.
