Hi! We searched high and low for the perfect countertops for our kitchen and finally settled on SapienStone White Calacatta, available in 12mm only.
We're looking to have L-shape seating at our island with a 35cm overhang on both sides (see image). The overhang doesn't exceed 33% of the total width or depth of the island. Our concern is that we don't want additional supports visible (no posts, brackets, etc) but have been advised that an MDF backing would be sufficient to support the weight (and fragility) of the overhang.
Could anyone please advise if MDF (under the whole porcelain sheet) is sufficient to support the two-sided 35cm overhang to alleviate risk of the material snapping if weight is applied? If so, what thickness would the MDF need to be? If not, could you suggest a solution please??
Thanks in advance!!
