CHOOSING AN EDGE FOR YOUR KITCHEN COUNTERTOP

Once you’ve chosen the countertop material, color and design for your space, the edge profile is the most important decision left to take. Your countertop itself, whether in the kitchen or bathroom, is constantly being seen and touched so it’s important to consider the impact your countertop edge will have on the aesthetics of your space. To define your new stone countertops and the overall look of your space, we’ve created a guide showcasing the various edge design options we offer and help you understand how to complement the style you’re aiming for.

Eased

This profile edge features a simple and understated design that slightly rounds off the sharp edges of the counters. This clean and contemporary style subtly transitions and complements modern and classical designs. Additionally, the eased edge is a practical option as it helps reduce the risk of chipping or damage.

Full Bullnose

The full bullnose edge takes on the appearance of a half circle. This design offers a smooth, rounded surface that is gentle on the body, eliminating any sharp edges. The full bullnose edge is the most classic style among granite countertop edges.

Miter

The mitered edge is commonly used for rectangular countertops that meet at a 45-degree angle, creating a distinctive edge. This design involves joining two pieces together, which provides the appearance of a heavier countertop while still keeping it lightweight. This edge profile is very popular for kitchen islands, as it creates a striking focal point.

Waterfall

The waterfall edge profile creates a striking and visually appealing effect by extending the countertop material down the sides, resembling a flowing waterfall. This stylish design is commonly associated with modern and minimalist aesthetics, contributing to a cohesive and sophisticated atmosphere in the space.

Half Bullnose

The Half Bullnose edge profile features a rounded top and a flat bottom. The rounded edge allows water to flow smoothly off the countertop, helping to prevent damage to the cabinets below.
