Choosing the Right Countertop Edge

The edge profile of your countertop not only enhances its appearance but also affects safety and functionality. Here are popular edge styles:

• Bevel – A clean, angled edge for a modern geometric look.

• Square – Sleek and contemporary; perfect for minimalistic designs.

• Ogee – A decorative, S-shaped curve adding elegance to traditional kitchens.

• Demi-Bullnose – Softly rounded on the top for a subtle, smooth finish.

• Eased – Slightly softened edges for a crisp but safe appearance.

• Bullnose – Fully rounded for maximum safety — ideal for households with kids.

• Cole Smith – A layered, custom edge for a designer high-end touch.

• Quirk – A small recessed detail that gives definition without being too ornate.

Pro Tip: For butcher block, eased, square, or bevel edges are popular for maintaining a clean, functional look.

Choose the finishing touch for your kitchen:

• Modern: Bevel, square, or eased edges.

• Classic: Ogee or demi-bullnose for an elegant touch.

• Family-Friendly: Rounded bullnose for safety and style.
