Edge styles are an important choice when selecting the perfect granite surface for your kitchen. With Amanzi Marble & Granite, you can pick from a variety of different edge styles to create the ultimate look and feel in your space. Here’s a guide to all of the different options available to you with our selection of granite countertops:
Waterfall Edge
A waterfall edge is a favorite choice for modern-style kitchens. This type of edge follows the same curvature as an eased edge but does not have flat edges. Instead, it has a continuous curve that makes the countertop look like a waterfall cascading over its sides. Waterfall edges are visually stunning and make any kitchen feel luxurious and opulent.
Bevel Edge
Bevel (or beveled) edges are marked by their sharp 45-degree angle. This particular cut creates a distinct border that artfully surrounds the countertop, resulting in a sophisticated and polished finish. Beveled edges come in numerous variations, offering a diverse range of options to choose from. For example, you have the option to choose between a subtle 1/4 bevel or a more pronounced 1/2 bevel. You have the option to choose between having only the top edge beveled or having both the top and bottom edges beveled.
Half Bullnose Edge
Half bullnose edges, also known as demi-bullnose edges, feature the graceful curve of a bullnose edge combined with a flat bottom surface. This elegant design provides both aesthetic appeal and functional stability. With its soft and rounded top, this edge is a versatile option that complements kitchens of all sizes. These edges are most suited for traditional kitchens, particularly when combined with stone countertops. Full bullnose edges create the illusion of a thinner countertop, while half bullnose edges give the appearance of thickness.
Double Radius Edge
Double radius edges are a unique and modern twist on the classic bullnose edge. This two-tiered design has a gentle flow that offers both visual interest and functional stability, making it suitable for contemporary kitchen designs. The double radius edge allows you to create an eye-catching effect while maintaining durability, which is why it’s become increasingly popular in recent years.
Bullnose Edge
Bullnose edges feature a graceful curve along the top and bottom, resulting in a smooth and uniform finish. They are universally pleasing and suitable for almost any kitchen, making them one of the most sought-after granite countertop edges. The smooth finish of this design provides a refined touch that is not only child-friendly but also effortless to maintain and keep clean.
Double Bevel Edge
Double bevel edges are marked by two distinct 45-degree angles that meet in the middle. This design offers a sharp contrast between its flat surface and angular sides, making it a great option for modern kitchens. Double bevel edges are visually striking and provide an interesting textural element to any kitchen countertop.
Classic Ogee Edge
Ogee edges showcase a graceful “S” shape, with curves that can range from delicate to striking. These captivating curves add an element of elegance and sophistication to any design. These edges are popular for natural stone countertops because of their timeless look and durability. Due to the additional depth it provides, this particular edge style is most suitable for larger kitchen spaces.
Step Half Bullnose Edge
Step half bullnose edges are a combination of two edges, providing the curved edge of the half bullnose style and the stepped edge of the bevel style. This hybrid design offers an interesting visual effect while still creating a smooth surface. Step half bullnose edges offer a creative alternative to standard edges, making them perfect for kitchen countertops that need a unique touch.
Bevel Bullnose Edge
Bevel bullnose edges are a blend of the bevel and bullnose styles, providing an angle cut on one side and a curved finish on the other. This hybrid design combines the sharpness of beveled edges with the softness of bullnose, creating a unique look that is popular in modern kitchens. Bevel bullnose edges provide an artful combination of sharp angles and smooth curves, making them a popular choice in many kitchen designs.
Double Ogee Edge
Double ogee edges are a unique design that features two ogee curves meeting at the center. This style has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its captivating curves and sophistication. Double ogee edges offer a beautiful contrast between their flat surface and curved sides, creating an elegant look that is perfect for modern kitchens.
Triple Pencil Edge
Triple pencil edges are a unique design that features three pencil edges meeting at the center. This intricate style is ideal for those looking to make a statement with their kitchen countertop. These edges provide an exquisite detail that adds depth and texture, creating an eye-catching look that is sure to be the envy of anyone who steps into your kitchen.
Bullnose Edge
Bullnose edges feature a curved edge that wraps around the entire countertop, creating an elegant and seamless look. This style is perfect for those looking to add a touch of luxury to their kitchen. Dupont bullnose edges are one of the most sought-after granite countertop edges due to their graceful curves and timeless design. They offer a beautiful finish that will enhance any kitchen space
