Bought a 40mm worktop from one of the very large sheds (with orange livery) to replace an old thinner worktop ... probably about 35mm thick.
When I cut out the hole for the hob ... ok I perhaps wasn't as careful as I should've been ... whilst manhandling it, it snapped!
The old thinner w'top was still in the yard. Tried being a bit rough with that (same size hole for hob), yet it was still, despite it's age, plenty strong enough to support itself.
The 40mm w'top was about £80. I know they come in at all different prices
... yes perhaps I'm answering my own question here but ... I'd like to know if there really is a big difference in strength when it comes to cheaper worktops?
Or was it really down to my lack of care ... like 'someone' has suggested?
