The edge profile of your new countertops will affect the three things in your bathroom and kitchen: efficiency, safety, and style. Whether you have decided to go with all-natural granite, quartz, or with engineered stone, the edge choice will have advantages and disadvantages. Here, we’ll cover a few of the different edges.


Straight Edge


If you’re looking for a design that is clean-lined, straight edge profile is the most popular. Regardless if you’re going with a thick or thin slab, the straight edge is a perfect choice, especially if you have an intricate pattern on the countertop itself or a busy backsplash.

The name straight edge is somewhat deceiving by name, as the edges are not sharp, but instead have a slight roundness to the corners. This is for prevention of damage or injury. You can choose how rounded your straight edge to be.


Beveled, Dual, Long Beveled


Beveled edge is angled, with a sleek look and is a popular choice for those designing a contemporary and elegant design. The corners are clipped flat at a 45-degree angle. The Double Beveled edge offers an extra dimension to give your kitchen greater visual impact as does the Long Beveled. Both can be customized to your specifications.


Full, Half, Quarter Bullnose


The full bullnose edge is popular for many, especially households with children. It gives the granite an elegant and thinner appearance, giving the overall look of the room a timeless classic look. The bullnose edge adds a soft, warm feel to the room, making colors and patterns of the stone stand out.


Ogee Edge


For a look that is classic, decorative, or traditional the Ogee edge is the perfect match. This edge will make ornate elegance of the stone you choose to stand out with a rounded bottom and a curve that can be deep and dramatic or choose the subtle line.
