Waterfall

Black Galaxy Granite

Want to add some drama to your kitchen? You might just fall in love with waterfall edge design! This style features granite slabs that run down the edge of an island and reach all the way to the floor. It truly is a show-stopping look! This installation showcases your stone like a stunning piece of art. It also anchors the room and creates a beautiful focal point. Plus, the waterfall edge works perfectly in both contemporary and traditional kitchens. It adds a modern twist to the granite counter with its intricate patterns. Enjoy your fabulous new kitchen style! 

Eased

Aspen White Granite

Eased edges are the most popular edge type! They feature a 90-degree angle that is slightly rounded, reducing sharpness for safety. This design is clean and simple, making it perfect for contemporary spaces. Plus, it gives granite countertops a thick appearance. Eased edges are also super functional! They are easy to clean and won’t trap food and liquids like some intricate edges can. The only thing to keep in mind is that they might not be the softest on your elbows. But overall, eased edges are a fantastic choice!

Double Bevel

Blanco Antico Granite

A double bevel is a fun design choice! It features two 45-degree angles—one on top and one on the bottom. This edge style adds a soft, elegant touch to countertops. It works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary projects. Enjoy the versatility that granite counters offer.

Classic Ogee

Caravelas Gold Granite

The ogee edge adds a touch of elegance to your granite countertop! Its unique "S" shape is popular in traditional designs. With its stylish curves, the ogee edge not only looks great but also gives your counter a sleek, thinner appearance. Plus, custom-edged countertops can showcase your personal style, whether you prefer classic or modern looks. Enjoy the beauty and charm it brings to your space!
