EDGE & PROFILES

---

 Bevel edge offers a square flat face with the 45 Degrees cut from the front to the top edge on the worktop. Bevels are 45-degree cuts into the edge of the stone. The deeper the cut, the wider the bevel face is. Sometimes, the bevell edge is 3mm 45 Degrees polishing cut  to be called a Ares edge. 

 This edge is most commonly used on Kitchen Worktops but can also be used on vanity top,upstand and splashbacks to give it a clean look. Eased edge offers a square flat face with the sharp edge on top rounded slightly.  Sometimes, the eased edge is rounded enough to be called a quarter round granite edge. 

The half bullnose edge can also be called the round-over because instead of being squared off, it is rounded over.  It offers a smooth and round surface. It shows a larger cross section of your stone.

 From the side, an ogee edge forms the shape of an "S". This is often the most elaborate edge offered by granite fabricators. Ogee is used to achieve a more traditional look. 

  A timeless look that is well suited to more traditional and classical kitchen design, the Boston Profile is a good option for those looking for detailed edging that adds a feature and element of craftsmanship to the overall design. 

  The edge looks very thin indeed, though normally relatively rounded,  Chamfer Profile this edge is most commonly used on Kitchen Worktops but can also be used on vanity top, upstand and splashbacks to give it a clean look 

 Contemporary kitchens with slab, handless doors are often paired with thinner profile worktops, made to look thinner still with a shark-nose edge. The edge looks very thin indeed, though normally relatively rounded, and the fingers have more space to slide easily into the door edge “handle.” 

Triple Edge Profile  edge looks like a demi bullnose with a notch at the top. It may tend to chip depending on the stone. More elaborate profiles can be made with special router bits like this Triple Waterfall. Real craftsman can create an unlimited array of edges by gluing together different profiles. To achieve a more natural or rustic edge the stone has to be chiseled. Some fabricators chisel this edge by hand. Others may use pneumatic chiseling machines. The chiseled edge is rough and looks like a naturally broken piece of granite. It is slightly smoothed and sprayed with a clear coat finish for shine.
