Why are laminate worktops 600mm?

Morning

 

After blowing our finances completely, our expensive worktop is on hold, so I need a temporary worktop that I can fit myself

laminate is the lad, as they can be found cheap

 

However, my kitchen cabinetry is 600mm deep, and so are all the cheap laminates that I can find - b and q, ikea, worktop express etc

am I going mad? why are they not 620 mm like my existing to allow overhang?

 

any advice on where to pick up the cheapest 620mm laminate?

I do not know of any other obvious sources, btw.

 

One option is that you could use 600mm and a capping or bead at the back. I have one where I built a set of custom small shelves with a bottom to the bottom shelf.

There is no problem getting deeper worktops from a specialist Worktop suppliers.Makes such as Durapal,Axium,Resopal all make laminate  worktops 665 and 900 double post formed Just cut the back off to the depth you need .They come in much longer lengths 3.6 and 4.1 metres .Plenty of suppliers on the internet , Laminate edging is usually a separate item to order.

If you are being offered only 600mm worktops, you are in the wrong shop.

 

I can confirm my Howdens kitchen units are 600mm deep, and the very cheap Howdens laminate worktop is 615mm deep.

 

Perhaps the sheds selling 600mm worktops sell 585mm deep kitchen units to match, and people wonder why the washing machine sticks out further than the cupboards,
