Both Silestone and Zodiac engineered quartz countertops are offered in
2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses. I inquired at both manufacturers about the advantage of having the thicker product other than appearance. I just received an answer from a representative at Dupont (Zodiac) and the answer was:"Thank you for your interest in Zodiaq® quartz surfaces. Please visit your local kitchen designer at your Zodiaq® Retailer to help you create a kitchen to meet your individual style. Their Zodiaq installer/fabricator can explain which thickness would best suit your design."
I consider this to be an evasive answer. I haven't heard yet from Silestone. If the product is mounted on a stable base, why should I spend the extra money for the thicker countertop?
