Edges
For the bespoke worktops that we produce, we can offer you a range of profiles, so that you can choose what best matches the look and the use that you are trying to achieve. The same edge can sometimes have alternative names: for example, the Bevel Edge is also known as a Chamfered Edge. The edge that you choose is very much a question of personal preference, but we are happy to advise you in making your selection. Some of the main edges that we are asked to fabricate are listed below.
Bevel
Bevel is a simple, elegant and classic edge profile for natural stone or quartz. This style is equally at home on modern counters or in a vintage kitchen that needs new life.
Half Inch Bevel
The Half Inch Bevel edge provides a sleek angle which combines comfort and definition in one edge design. It gives shape, yet still softens the look of the edge of a counter without venturing towards a rounded look.
Quarter Inch Round
Quarter Inch Round is very current & popular edge that works in almost any setting. When you have gorgeous stone in a designer kitchen, or a subtle granite in a calming space, this works very well.
Double Pencil Round
The Double Pencil Round edge has slightly more rounded edges than a plain Flat Polish edge but retains a sleek and current look. This edge is often chosen for its smooth, comfortable feel, particularly for people leaning against the counter edge or sitting at a breakfast bar.
Half Bullnose
Half Bullnose is another favoured edge for those wanting a little curve, but not the traditional look of the full Bullnose edge. This granite edge is also known as a waterfall edge. It gives the countertop a sleek, smooth look and also provides a comfortable feel.
Full Bullnose
Full Bullnose has a soft edge style which lets other design elements in the space take centre stage. It is often popular in traditional settings, and in fact is widely used in both residential and commercial settings.
Ogee
Ogee is an elegant, curvy edge often requested to cut for counter tops in more traditional homes. This edge features a sophisticated S-shaped curve that provides a classic look.
Sharknose
The Shark Nose edge is perfect for producing a floating counter effect. Available on all surfaces 20mm thick or more.
