My understanding, having recently researched porcelain splashbacks and benchtops, is that 6mm can only be used for a splashback and not for a benchtop. This was certainly the case with Quantam Quartz porcelain sheets. Might be different with other brands
you will have trouble find a stone mason willing to take the job for 6 mm porcelain bench top. as its hard to work with . this one cost $12k. for what covers on the photo, include the rangehood cover.
Hmmm, I would always give more weight to which will stand the test of time as far as function and durability, not which thickness 'looks' more stylish.
And I completely agree with Jayden's comment about masons not wanting to take the risk of handling such a thin piece of material. If a customer is sure they want thinner, then they should agree to bear the cost if a mishap occurs...and I don't know anyone who would be willing to do that.
