The edge profile finishes the worktop and changes how the whole kitchen reads. These are the four we cut.
Mitred
Two pieces are cut at 45 degrees and joined, so the edge looks like one thick block of stone rather than a panel with a lip.
How a 20 mm slab is made to read as 40, 60 or 100 mm.
Bevelled
A small angle is taken off the top edge, catching the light in a line along the worktop.
Softens a square edge without rounding it.
Bullnose
The top edge is rounded. Kinder to hips and forearms, which matters on an island people lean against.
The traditional choice.
