Haven't a clue sorry.

Every supplier will be happy to quote you though so don't fear ringing them up and asking.

you sure you need that much? 10mm 8x4 sheet is 240kg

you are gone beyond what you and two friends can lift there and into hoist territory.

I need it for a table top.

I would imagine 3mm will be more than sufficient. If a little bit of flex is a problem I would weld on angle iron webs at about 500 mm spacing along the underside.

3mm will also be manipulatable by hand.

Maybe 200 Euro for a full sheet at a guess, but If you are willing to weld and grind some smaller sections or offcuts you can probably get the steel for below 100e

Thanks mawk. I've just priced an 8x4 10mm sheet from two steel suppliers. First quoted €247, second was €210.

If you're getting it cut make sure fabrication shop have a laser & not just a plasma, mirror cut edge vs slaggy rough edge.
Square cuts can also be done more cheaply by guillotine.
You can get sheets of 3mm in 3000x1500mm
