Quartz countertops are a homeowner’s dream come true. The ease of maintenance and the wide variety of colors and patterns mean that they can fit into any home and any lifestyle. And beyond color choices, you can customize your quartz countertops further with a unique edge profile! Here are ten different edge profiles that will give your quartz countertops a look all their own.
1. Eased Edge
The eased edge is a simple and versatile option, offering a clean, slightly softened square shape. It maintains a modern, streamlined look while reducing the risk of chipping along sharp edges. This profile works well in nearly any design style.
2. Chamfer Edge
A chamfer edge features a subtle, angled cut along the top edge of the countertop, creating a refined yet understated look. This design is a great choice for those who want a modern touch with just a hint of decorative detail.
3. Demi-Bullnose Edge
The demi-bullnose edge provides a smooth, rounded finish on the top while keeping the bottom edge straight. This profile allows light to reflect beautifully off the surface while also directing spills away from cabinets. Its soft curve adds a welcoming feel.
4. Small Ogee Edge
For a touch of sophistication, the small ogee edge introduces a subtle S-curve to the countertop. It offers a classic, decorative appeal without being overly ornate. This profile pairs well with both traditional and transitional designs.
5. Full Bullnose Edge
A full bullnose edge is completely rounded on both the top and bottom, creating a smooth, flowing profile. This soft contour enhances the elegance of the countertop and eliminates sharp corners, making it a practical choice for families with young children. The continuous curve gives quartz a polished and inviting appearance.
6. Large Ogee Edge
A large ogee edge takes the decorative S-curve to a bolder level, adding dramatic depth and an unmistakable sense of luxury. This profile is a statement piece, ideal for homeowners looking to bring a high-end, custom feel to their quartz countertops.
7. Waterfall Edge
When you’re talking about waterfall edges, there are two things that come to mind. Both look great, but they are very different. A waterfall countertop involves the stone extending to cover the sides of the cabinet down to the floor, protecting the cabinets and showing off more of the stone. But a waterfall edge is a curved edge on a standard thickness countertop with three bumps, like a cascading waterfall. It’s a playful design that stands out for its organic feel.
8. Chiseled Edge
For a more rugged, organic feel, the chiseled edge embraces a raw, textured look. This profile gives quartz countertops a natural, handcrafted appearance, making it a bold choice for rustic, farmhouse, or industrial-style kitchens.
9. Miter Eased Edge
A miter eased edge involves joining two slabs at a 45-degree angle, creating the illusion of a thicker countertop. This design is often used to achieve a substantial, high-end look without the added weight of a solid thick slab.
10. Beveled Edge
The beveled edge features an angled cut along the top of the countertop, adding a sharp, geometric detail. This design reflects light beautifully and enhances the overall visual appeal of quartz surfaces. Its sleek lines create timeless elegance with a contemporary edge.
