Edge profiles
With Stoneware’s advanced German CNC technology, stone bench tops have practically limitless possibilities for edge profiles.
The popular edges are, for the most part, practical for any use in the kitchen or bathroom. So the primary factor to consider when you make your edge profile choice is aesthetic. Which do you like the best? Which will compliment your space? Is your kitchen is contemporary or industrial? Whether you pick something modern like a bevelled edge, or more traditional such as an ogee, we have the edge designs that match every kitchen.
The thickness of the countertop makes a difference in which edge profiles are available, and which look best. The standard kitchen countertop is 30 millimetres thick. Luxury countertops are cut 40 millimetres thick. Some economy countertops are 20 millimetres thick, supported underneath by a layer of medium density fiberboard. Bathroom vanities are typically 20 millimetres thick.
The more complex edge profiles don’t look good on 20mm countertops, and aren’t as strong. For 20 millimetres bath vanities, it’s best to choose a basic edge profile. If you’ve chosen an economical 20 millimetres kitchen countertop, and still desire a complex profile, you may be able to choose a 20+20 edge option, which is a strip of stone molding glued to the underside of the countertop edge, therefore providing the illusion of a 40mm slab.
