A GUIDE TO COUNTERTOP EDGE PROFILES
Live life on the edge with our variety of countertop edge profiles! The countertop is one of the key features of kitchen design & the most used surfaces in the home. In comparison to all of the other decisions that are made during home remodeling – choosing a countertop edge may not seem high on the to-do list, but it should be!
While the material you select should be top priority, the edge should be a close second as it is a direct correlation to the functionality of your space.Different edges are often categorized as standard, upgraded or specialty profiles.
This short guide should help you pick the right countertop for your home. These edge profiles are the most popular among homeowners and can be used in many different applications from kitchens and bathrooms to windowsills and fireplace surrounds.
STANDARD PROFILES
EASED EDGE
The most popular profile edge is our eased edge. This design detail creates a 90-degree profile with a slightly softened edge to ensure its not too sharp. It is commonly used in kitchens and in bathroom applications because they are easy to clean and maintain. Eased edges have a very contemporary, clean look that really show the thickness of the stone. If you want a simple, elegant line, then the eased edge is for you.

PENCIL EDGE
The pencil edge profile gets its name from being cut to look just like that of a pencil. It has a slight angular edge with a softened side into the vertical surface of the stone. It is a very contemporary design and is comfortable to work on due to its softer sides unlike the eased edge. It is most commonly used in kitchen applications as it is easy to clean.
UPGRADED PROFILES
HALF BULLNOSE EDGE
The half bullnose edge profile has a slight curve on the upper portion of the countertop that leads down to a straight lower portion. It is recommended for homes with children because of its dull edges as well as the fact that it is easy to maintain, and even easier to clean. This edge profile adds a delicately curved silhouette to any surface. It is commonly used in both kitchen and bathroom applications.
