There are four plastic cutting board thicknesses commonly used in commercial and home chef food preparation – 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″. Each has it’s own use applications in your commercial restaurant, deli, institution, school kitchen, or home chef setting.
Our 1/4 inch cutting board thickness is most commonly used in a medium to light duty application, such as a sandwich board or prep line board. Thin cutting boards can can be a smart economical choice for your business, because you only cut on the top. So why pay for thickness you don’t need? Thin cutting boards are our newest product here at CuttingBoardWerks, and we have the lowest prices you’ll find as well. Quarter inch cutting boards are our best value.
If your food prep surfaces need to be durable but also light in weight – in a prep station for example – then 1/2 inch cutting boards are a good choice. If you operate a professional food service business of any kind, then half inch cutting boards are likely already an integral part of your kitchen. Tough half inch HDPE or Richlite boards are often supplied as standard issue by kitchen equipment manufacturers in medium duty use applications. When you require a solid professional chopping surface, but one that won’t cost an arm and a leg, our NSF certified sanitary, half inch thick plastic or Richlite cutting boards, in custom cut sizes, are the perfect answer.
If your cutting boards get replaced often, because the cuts you make on them are heavy and repeated – like on a plastic butcher board – then 3/4 inch cutting boards are a good option. These thick plastic cutting and chopping surfaces will withstand most types of commercial use. In commercial food prep kitchens, you don’t want your cutting boards to deform or bend, so our custom cut-to-size, NSF certified sanitary, 3/4 inch thick plastic or Richlite cutting boards are your best choice.
In an institutional, commercial or restaurant kitchen, some chopping boards get replaced often, because of heavy repeated use, such as meat prep table tops and plastic butcher blocks. For these applications, thick heavy one inch cutting boards are your best option. These heavy cutting boards will take almost any abuse you can throw at them, and last long enough to be a smart economical choice. For instance, you don’t want to repeatedly use a meat cleaver on a half inch cutting board, and then need to replace it monthly. That can get prohibitively costly very quickly. CuttingBoardWerks custom cuts NSF sanitary certified one inch thick brown Richlite and natural white plastic cutting boards, made to order, to fit your exact specifications.
