| The granite we have is 1 1/4" and the fabricator says that the stone is too fragile to cut any thinner - they have broken one piece trying.
I have the granite going on the shower curb/threshold, the top of the knee wall and the threshold to the bathroom, as well as the vanity top. I don't want to feel like I need to take a running leap over the thrshold to get into the shower! how high is yours? I could substitute with a marble, as I have a marble accent and have used 3/4" marble pieces for the bottom of my 2 niches. He's going to try again with another piece and see if they can get it thinner - but I wanted to post the question. Thanks. |

| Our threshold/curb with marble top is 6 1/4 inches in height & 8 inches in depth. |

| I usually end up with about a 4" vertical from the bathroom floor to the top of the curb if it's a tiled curb. Another inch higher if it's a stone-topped curb. Inside the shower about a 2" vertical back down to the shower floor tile for a tiled curb, about 3" for a stone curb. |

| Code minimum, the top of the threshold must be 2" higher than the top of the drain opening. |

| Thx for the replies. I will measure and see. I prefer it lower but that would mean not using my same granite, and going with a thinner marble. Thoughts? Deal with it higher and have it match, or lower and not match? |
