Every countertop edge starts as a square cut that is then shaped and polished in the shop. These are the profiles homeowners ask about most. The drawings show a cross-section of the countertop edge.
How to choose
Match the edge to the room. Square and eased edges suit modern kitchens; ogee and dupont suit traditional cabinetry. Think about who uses the counter: rounded edges are kinder to hips and little heads. And think about the stone: busy, speckled granite hides detail, so a simple edge often looks best, while a plain quartz shows off a decorative profile.
Not every profile suits every material and thickness. Tell us the edge you like when you request a quote and we will confirm what we can cut in your stone. See edges on finished jobs in our work.

- Which edge is easiest to keep clean?
- Simple edges like eased, bevel and bullnose have no grooves for crumbs, so they wipe clean in one pass.
- Which edge resists chipping best?
- Rounded profiles such as half and full bullnose spread impact better than a sharp square corner. An eased edge with a small radius is a good middle ground.
- Does the edge change the price?
- Decorative and mitered edges take more shop time than a standard eased edge, so they usually cost more. We include your edge choice in the quote.
