Can anyone tell me if there are any disadvantages to using 28mm worktop instead of 38mm, other than appearance? Does it get dangerously flimsy where it has been cut out around the sink?

Thanks

Brendan.

It all depends on what's underneath of course and how its
supported and the material used, but all other things being
equal the other main advantage of the 38mm thickness is that
its more likely to sound more solid when encountering something
hard, a cup , a bowl, knife handle etc. As against the 28mm sounding
slightly hollow in similar circumstances. As with people paying
extra for cars whose doors sound more solid by making the right
noise when being closed, the same can apply to worktops.
Whether anyone notices the difference after a couple of
weeks of use is another question.

The main advantage is the much wider choice of patterns & colours
available in 38mm. Wickes for example have about a dozen styles in
38mm, but only two in 28mm.

Benefit of 28mm is that you can buy 2 metre lengths instead of 3 metre,
depending on the job.

and other advantages of 28mm are its significantly cheaper andcan just lift
a 3m long board.
