The edge is the detail your hand touches every day and your eye reads first. Here is every profile we fabricate — from a clean straight edge to a dramatic sharknose or a book-matched waterfall — with cross-section diagrams so you can picture the finished look. Questions? Call 954-626-0136.
Every profile below can be fabricated on quartz, granite, marble, quartzite, porcelain and sintered stone. Thicker looks are built with a mitered edge.
A clean, near-square edge with the top and bottom corners just barely softened so they are comfortable to the touch and resist chipping. It is the most requested profile in South Florida kitchens because it suits everything from modern to transitional design and reads as timeless. Available on 2 cm and 3 cm slabs.
A precise 45° chamfer cut into the top (and often the bottom) of the edge. The flat facet catches light for a tailored, architectural line that pairs beautifully with Shaker cabinetry and traditional kitchens.
The top corner is rounded over into the face while the bottom stays square. It sheds water, hides minor imperfections and is gentle on hips and elbows — a favorite for busy family kitchens and bathroom vanities.
The entire edge is rounded into a smooth half-circle. It removes every hard corner for maximum safety, making it a classic choice for homes with young children and for a soft, traditional look.
A sculpted S-curve — concave flowing into convex — that adds an unmistakable sense of luxury. The ogee is the signature detail of formal, old-world and high-end traditional kitchens.
A bold contemporary profile: the top rounds gently, then the face tapers back on a dramatic undercut angle to a fine bottom edge. The sharknose (or “shark nose”) creates a thin, knife-like shadow line that looks stunning on waterfall islands and minimalist designs.
Two pieces of stone are joined at a 45° miter to make the edge look far thicker than the slab — typically a 2", 3" or even 6" apron from a standard 2 cm or 3 cm top. Mitering is how we give porcelain and sintered slabs a substantial, monolithic edge without the weight.
The countertop turns 90° and runs straight down the side of an island to the floor, so the veining appears to “pour” over the edge. It is the definitive luxury island detail and looks best when the pattern is mitered and book-matched to flow continuously.
Both the top and bottom corners are rounded on a larger, even radius for a soft, pencil-like profile. It splits the difference between a square and a bullnose — understated, easy to clean and very forgiving in daily use.
Slab thickness sets the base look of your edge. A 3 cm slab gives a thick edge with nothing added; a 2 cm slab is slimmer and can be laminated or mitered to look as thick as you like.
3 cm (about 1¼") slabs give a thick, substantial edge with no build-up needed and are the standard for most kitchen islands and perimeters. 2 cm (about ¾") slabs are slimmer and lighter; to make a 2 cm top look thick we laminate or miter a strip underneath. We help you pick based on your material, cabinets and budget.
In South Florida the eased (straight) edge is by far the most requested — it looks clean and modern and works with almost any style. Mitered thick edges and waterfall islands are the top upgrades for a high-end, contemporary look.
Yes. Because porcelain and sintered slabs (Neolith, Dekton, Lapitec, SapienStone) are often 12 mm or thinner, we create a thick look with a mitered edge — joining the top and a matching apron at 45° so the pattern wraps the corner seamlessly.
A sharknose is a modern profile where the top is softly rounded and the face is undercut on a steep angle down to a thin bottom edge, creating a crisp shadow line. It is popular on waterfall islands and minimalist kitchens.
Simple profiles like eased, beveled and half-bullnose are usually included. Detailed profiles (ogee, sharknose), mitered build-ups and waterfall panels involve more fabrication and are quoted per job. Ask us and we’ll show you options at every level.
Rounded profiles — full bullnose, half bullnose or a transitional pencil edge — remove sharp corners and are the safest, most forgiving choice for busy family kitchens.
Bring us your cabinet style and we’ll show you profiles in person and recommend the right one for your material and budget.
