I have designed a kitchen and want to build most of it myself.
My problem is the countertop, as it is quite complex. I will either build the substructure using pre-wall elements or masonry, depending on what works best. The countertop cannot be brought into the room as one piece, and a chipboard countertop doesn’t make sense since the left side would have to be made from three separate parts. So, I thought about modeling it on site using screed panels, 20 mm (0.8 inches) thick in two layers, and then covering it with ceramic tiles or granite.
Is this a practical approach?
Best regards, Thielemann

I thought this might be the right place for something like this, but maybe you have a suggestion as well.

I didn’t mean to criticize you, and I didn’t provide any measurements myself, that was my mistake! It’s wider than the largest available countertop, which is why I’m asking.

P.S. You didn’t criticize me... You just said it doesn’t fit your widths. It’s just strange because it fit mine, and I’m simply saying that in theory, with overlays, you could cover the entire kitchen surface with it.
