Our countertop edge styles.
Bullnose or square granite edge.
Laminated ogee over full bullnose.
This edge is used on most granite backsplashes.
Like we said bullnose edges are a little nicer than square edges.
This makes the entire countertop appear 6 cm thick rather than 3 cm and it allows for many combinations of edge cuts.
Many parents choose the bullnose edge because young children won t cut themselves on it.
If a bullnose edge isn t possible for your laminate countertops consider a crescent edge.
The eased edge granite is one of them where the top edge of the cut is a bit rounder than the standard square edge.
This edge pairs nicely with a traditional design.
Of course there are also some drawbacks to bullnose edges.
The full curve of bullnose edges can allow spills to travel to the underside of the edge and onto cabinetry.
A crescent edge is a laminate countertop edge that mimics the look of bullnose edges with a slightly less dramatic curve.
The double quarter round edge features a pencil round edge on the top and bottom edge of the granite.
Of all stone counter top edges granite is the hardest to work with.
Half bullnose is like a waterfall half round the top flat on the bottom.
On granite counter tops eased edge offers a square flat face with the sharp edge on top rounded slightly.
The half bullnose edge can also be called the round over because instead of being squared off it is.
They re already in the price of the granite slabs.
This thinner appearance is cosmetic only and can be created based on the edge style.

The edges are softened just enough so that the corners are neither too sharp nor completely rounded in fact the eased edge is a square 90 degree edge that is slightly eased in order to make it safer and help prevent breakage just as discussed above.
Sometimes the eased edge is rounded enough to be called a quarter round granite edge.
A laminated granite edge means a second layer of granite is cemented to the bottom edge of your countertops.
Another option is the waterfall edge which is actually two slabs of granite seamlessly joined at the edges at a 90 degree angle to provide a continuous eased edge granite to the floor.
Laminated edges offer a sophisticated look although they can be costly.
This will give the granite a bit of a thinner look in comparison to a half bullnose or polish edge.
They re also a welcome addition to any contemporary home.
The most popular is the half bullnose edge.
Bullnose edges also help prevent damage to your countertops.
