Countertop Edging Selections

Eased edges are great for small kitchens, tight corners, and narrow walkways. They have slightly rounded corners for safety and comfort, while still having flat, unobtrusive sides. Eased edges are a popular and inexpensive choice for modern or traditional kitchens. They work with any counter material, and their rounded edges help prevent chipping. 

If you like the subtlety of eased edges but want an even more modern and streamlined look, consider square edges. Although often grouped together with eased edges, this simple style has a straight, 90-degree edge that’s less rounded than true eased edges. While most striking in a contemporary kitchen, square edges can fit any kitchen decor. Square edges are compatible with any counter material and are cost-effective. Note that square edges can be more prone to chipping than eased edges.

Beveled edges are marked by their sharp 45-degree angle. This cut makes for a well-defined border that frames the countertop while maintaining an elegant finish. There are many variations of beveled edges. You can opt for a 1/4 bevel or a more defined 1/2 bevel. You can also have just the top edge beveled or have both the top and bottom edges beveled. This edge isn’t much more expensive than the above styles, making it a popular option for many types of counters. 

Ogee edges feature an elegant “S” shape whose curves can vary from subtle to dramatic. These edges are popular for natural stone countertops, but they can also be achieved with quartz surfaces as well. Since this edge adds extra depth to your countertop, it’s best for larger kitchens. 

A double ogee edge has the same shape but with an extra curve. The ogee edge is more difficult to create, so it is one of the more expensive edge styles. Dramatic curves or a double ogee edge can make this style more costly. 

Bullnose edges are curved along the top and bottom for an even finish. They are universally flattering for virtually any kitchen and are one of the most popular granite countertop edges, although they work well with any counter material. Bullnose edges are also great countertop edges for laminate, since they can make the laminate seem solid and more luxurious. The soft finish of this style offers a sophisticated touch that is both safe for kids and easy to clean. 

If a bullnose edge isn’t possible for your countertops, consider a crescent edge. A crescent edge is originally a laminate countertop edge that mimics the look of bullnose edges with a slightly less dramatic curve. 

Half bullnose edges, or demi-bullnose edges, have the delicate curve of a bullnose edge and a flat bottom. The soft, rounded top makes this edge a good choice for kitchens of any size. These edges look best in traditional kitchens and when paired with stone countertops. While full bullnose edges will make a countertop look thinner, half bullnose edges will make it look thicker. 

Tip: The full curve of bullnose edges can allow spills to travel to the underside of the edge and onto cabinetry. Be sure to wipe up spills quick.

The ¼ Round edge is a simple profile that is a good fit for kitchens and bathrooms. Its slight curve maximizes the visual thickness of the countertop. This edge works well with traditional and modern designs. No matter if it is in the kitchen, bathroom or any other room, a countertop with a ¼ Round edge will look great. This edge is simple, yet stylish. The slightly rounded edges of this style takes off a little more than the Straight edge, but will still give you a mostly squared off look. The ¼ Round edge is practically the middle ground between a Straight edge and a Half Round edge. If you are looking to add some subtle style to your countertop, a ¼ Round edge can do just the trick. This edge can truly complete any countertop.

A mitered edge creates a seamless edge between the top of the countertop and a second piece of stone to create a specialty edge or to join a waterfall panel. The mitered seam allows the pattern to “wrap” from the horizontal surface to the vertical surface. The countertop slab material must be expertly cut at a 45-degree angle and perfectly mounted for the pattern of the stone to remain consistent.

Mitered edges are very common in commercial projects and are continuing to become more popular for residential use. Many fabricators are not comfortable fabricating a mitered edge and they may try to steer you to a stacked edge instead.

Stacked edges are very popular, but you need to be certain that it is the look you want. A stacked edge may often be inconspicuous, but not invisible

Chiseled countertop edges have rough and uneven surfaces that enhance the stone countertop’s natural characteristics. This style might interest you if you want to give your kitchen a rustic or raw look. Quartz and granite countertops can stand out with this edge by emphasizing its colors and patterns by mixing its smooth and rough surfaces.

It might be wise to avoid brushing against this countertop edge because it can crack and leave a mark.
