- Bevel: This classic edge profile has been used on countertops for decades. It is popular with both homeowners and builders because it adapts easily to all design styles. The outer edge angles downward with the very bottom smoothed gently to eliminate sharp edges. For added impact, combine this with the laminate edge profile.
- Demi Bullnose: Also referred to as the half bullnose, this profile edge is exceptionally popular with homeowners. The upper countertop edge rounds smoothly to prevent any sharp corners or edges. The demi bullnose edge profile works well on granite and any countertop stone that you may select. It adapts easily to all design styles.
- Full Bullnose: Do you like the simplicity of the demi bullnose but want to take that edge profile a step further? Choose the full bullnose edge profile. Both the topside and underside countertop edges are smoothly rounded. Builders frequently use this edge profile because it works well for those of you who have active lifestyles or who want the focus to be on your stone selection.
- Laminate: Would you like your stone slab to appear thicker and more substantial without incurring the expense or weight of a thicker stone? This premium edge profile adheres to an additional piece of your countertop stone along the underside edges of the countertop. It works best with darker stone varieties to ensure the seaming goes unseen.
- Ogee: Create an elegant, refined feeling on any countertop with this ornate, intricate edge profile. It works beautifully in traditional environments but easily adapts to all design styles. The ogee edge profile is an excellent choice for marble and granite, such as in your bathroom or kitchen, but adapts well to all countertop stone varieties.
- Straight: Your stone commands attention with this sleek, simple edge profile. Euro style countertops, known also as waterfall, always have a straight edge profile. The straight edge profile adapts well to all decorative preferences and is especially popular in modern and contemporary homes.
