Searching for some cheap 3 cm granite for an outdoor kitchen

3 cm is out of style already

Geaux with 2 cm

How big of a section you need? If it’s only a few small sections you can pick out remnant pieces for significantly cheaper prices.

DL Cabinetry on Chef. They sell it by the slab. Around 300 (plus or minus) for a 9-ft section. You just have to get someone to pick it up and install it... they provide you a list of references. We're getting a slab from here for our master bath remodel.

ETA they have both 2 and 3cm

I just called them and their slabs are only about 9' x 2', which sucks because I have a platform designed to house my Big Green Egg that's 28" deep. Actually, the depth of all my cabinets are 28" deep which doesn't take into account the overhang that will be needed for the counters as well.

Have you received any estimates for this on your project? Just wondering just how much are the various pieces when it's subcontract out like this.

This. Go to your local places and ask to see the remnants. They like getting rid of those for cheap

Thanks to all for the recommendations

I understand you are looking for 3cm, but for an outdoor kitchen do you think anyone will truly notice if you have 2cm?

---

From my research it's not good to have 2 cm granite outdoors because of how the edging is fabricated. Plus, my wife likes the thickness of the 3 cm granite.

Also, have you looked into quartz? We had quartz counters in my old house and unfortunately have granite in new house. Id take quartz again in a heartbeat.

To my knowledge, quartz isn't recommended for outdoor use.

Why do you say that?

Quartz is non-porous and does not require any sealing (ever) so it offers a virtually no-maintenance material solution for countertops. Its also very durable and is stain-resistant as well so dropping a glass of wine on them simply requires a quick cleanup. That was our biggest plus when it came to quartz. With kids there are alot of spills and you just wipe it and go on. We also would put hot pots and plates on the counters and never a problem.def cant do that with granite. With the granite, we are paranoid about making sure the granite is perfectly sealed. You'll also notice a big difference in price too.
