Concrete Countertop Thicknesses. Concrete countertops are so appealing partly because of the variety of looks they can provide. A 6â thick and heavy-looking drop edge front can be achieved but does not require the entire countertop to become 6â thick. The standard slab thickness is 1.5â â 2â.This is the most common thickness which gives countertop edges a very mainstream look.Larger thicknesses are possible, as mentioned. If a 6 slab is desired, the back and center of the countertop are still 1.5 thick and the front grows to the desired thickness.So it still looks 6 thick but is only 6 thick in the front. 6â thick and heavy-looking drop edge front can be achieved but does not require the entire countertop to become 6â thick. The standard slab thickness is 1.5â â 2â. This is the most common thickness which gives countertop edges a very mainstream look.
There are some basic rules of thumb for foundation wall thickness and these are outlined in many modern building codes. Poured concrete foundation walls that are less than 8 feet tall and have soil outside that is 6 or 7 feet deep against the wall can often be 8 inches thick and function quite well.As soon as you go higher or have greater depths of soil pushing against the wall, you need to increase the thickness to 10 inches.on't forget that the concrete comes in different strengths depending upon how much cement is added at the ready-mix plant. I would use a minimum mix of 3,500 pounds per square inch(psi) mix. You can upgrade to 4,000 psi concrete if you desire, but I would only do this if it was specified by the structural engineer.
