This simple addition can go a long way in elevating the overall aesthetic appeal of your space.

Bullnose Edge
The bullnose edge is fully rounded, offering a smooth, curved edge that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Due to the absence of sharp edges, bullnoses are more child-friendly, highly durable, and resistant to chipping, and offer a timeless appeal that suits various design styles.
Demi-Bullnose Edge
Like the bullnose, the demi-bullnose edge is rounded but with a flatter bottom edge. It combines the rounded top of a bullnose with the straight bottom of an eased edge, is soft and safe, offers a thicker appearance to the countertop, and is easier to clean than a full bullnose.
Ogee Edge
The ogee edge is one of the most ornate options available, featuring an intricate profile with an S-shaped curve. This highly decorative and elegant edge adds a sense of luxury and tradition and is ideal for classic and formal designs. With its unique and stylish form, it can also soften the look of the countertop and blend well with other decorative elements in the space.
When designing or remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, choosing the right countertop is a pivotal decision. Beyond selecting the material and color, one often overlooked yet essential aspect is the countertop edge profile. The edge profile not only enhances the countertop’s aesthetic appeal but also adds to its functionality and safety.
Flat Edge
A flat or eased edge profile is characterized by its straight, 90-degree angle with slightly rounded corners to soften the sharpness of a true square edge, offering a balance between modern and traditional styles. Its clean and modern look makes it a popular choice for contemporary designs due to its sleek and minimalist appearance. Flat edges maximize the countertop’s surface area, are easy to clean, tend to be more comfortable to lean against, and can reduce the risk of chipping compared to a square edge. They are versatile and suit various design aesthetics.
Mitered Edge
The mitered edge creates the illusion of a thicker, more substantial countertop by joining two pieces of material at a 45-degree angle. This profile is perfect for creating a dramatic and luxurious look that is highly customizable in terms of thickness and seamlessly blends with modern and contemporary designs.
Selecting the right countertop edge profile is crucial for achieving the desired look and functionality in your kitchen or bathroom. Whether you prefer the clean lines of a square edge, the timeless appeal of a bullnose, or the luxurious feel of an ogee, there’s an edge profile to suit every style and need. Consider your design preferences, lifestyle, and budget when making your choice, and you’ll create a space that’s both beautiful and practical.
