If you are shopping for a new granite countertop, you will hear the term “3cm” thrown around a lot. What this means is three centimeters or approximately 1¼ inches in thickness. This is the thickness you want for your countertops. Granite slabs are typically shaved to this thickness.

Backsplashes are usually thinner and it's fine as long as they match the granite slab in color and pattern. Otherwise, the granite fabricator will need to create 3cm backsplashes to match your countertop.
