Buying Guide
The shape of an exposed worktop edge is a small decision with a large effect on how the finished stone reads.
When choosing a new stone worktop, the edge profile is a crucial design detail that can have a big impact on the overall appearance. An edge profile refers to the shape and finish applied to the exposed edge of a worktop. While it may seem like a small design choice, the right worktop edge profile can complement your kitchen or bathroom and help create the finish you want.
A square edge is one of the most popular choices for contemporary interiors. Clean and minimal, it creates a sharp, modern appearance that works well with marble, quartz and other stone worktops. A small radius can also be added to soften the corners while maintaining the overall square appearance.
A bevelled edge features a subtle angled cut along the top edge of the worktop. This creates a refined detail that catches the light without being overly decorative, making it suitable for both modern and traditional kitchens.
For a softer and more understated look, a pencil edge uses a gentle curve along the exposed edge. It removes the sharpness of a square profile while retaining a clean, contemporary appearance.
More decorative profiles, such as ogee edges, offer shaped curves that are often chosen for traditional and classic interiors. These profiles can add some extra detail to a marble or natural stone worktop, adding an elegant flourish.
