Eased, beveled, bullnose, ogee, mitered and waterfall edges compared for style, safety and cleaning.
The edge is where you touch the countertop, and it sets the style of the whole surface. An eased edge has slightly softened corners and looks clean and modern. A bevel has a small angled cut. A bullnose is fully rounded and friendly. An ogee has an S-shaped curve for traditional rooms. A mitered edge joins two pieces at an angle to look thick, and a waterfall carries the stone down the side. Each shows off the stone differently and cleans differently.
The best edge depends on your home, your family and your stone. Rounded edges suit children and resist chipping. Simple eased edges suit modern kitchens. Ogee and decorative edges suit traditional homes but gather more dust. Thicker edges look more substantial and cost more. In Nashville, we often see eased and mitered edges on new homes and bullnose or ogee on classic ones. We bring edge samples in your material to the visit.
