Weight A 1 Â½ inch thick countertop made of standard concrete has an approximate weight of 18.75 pounds per square foot. (Granite is approximately 18 pounds per square foot.) Standard cabinetry will typically support this weight because itâs distributed over a large area.
When installing a benchtop at your place, it is important to know the standard countertop dimensions so that you will have sufficient place for working in your kitchen. The standard length of a countertop when installed in a kitchen is 25.5 inches from back to front. On the other hand, the height of a worktop should be 36 inches. If you like to install a bar stool next to a countertop, the height of the benchtop should be 42 inches to 46 inches. Additionally, the structure should cantilever at least 10 inches.
