Countertop Edges to Match Every Design


Whether as a bathroom vanity or kitchen counter, granite slabs have elaborate edges that will make them look like a work of art. The edges of a countertop have an impact to functionality, from cleaning to safety. When you move through your kitchen, you'll most likely come into contact with these parts so the shape matters. Here are the most common countertop edge profiles:

Bullnose. This rounded edge detail is a timeless classic that's great for traditional kitchens.

Square. You can either opt for a basic 3cm-square profile or an extra-thick countertop, otherwise known as the mitered edge. Meaning that the thickness is standard either 2cm or 3cm with a mitered frame around the sides, making the slab look thicker.

Ogee. Another timeless classic, the traditional ogee edge looks great on an island with contemporary style on the perimeter walls.

Unique variations. Don’t you just love the contrast of the modern sink, traditional cabinetry, and edge profile on the stone? For an instance, a round countertop edge is really functional and fantastic for a small space.

What is the edge profile of your kitchen countertop at home? What do you like most about it? We’d love to know!
