How do you get that design magazine look in your own kitchen? Many small details often come together to create that custom, upscale look worthy of a home improvement show. By selecting the right edge for your granite counters, you can emphasize the overall style of the decor. Visit the showroom at Legacy Marble & Granite in Findlay, OH to see examples of these edges in person.
Top and Bottom: Clean, Classic, and Contemporary
The Top and Bottom edge profile is simple and straightforward, providing clean, square edges with a small round over to prevent chipping on all your countertops. This timeless finish works perfectly with contemporary designs that focus on minimal embellishments. When you desire a counter that deflects the eye to other small accents around the room, the standard edge is your go-to choice.
Crescent: Softening the Edges and Look
How often have you bumped a hip into the sharp corners of your counter? The bullnose edge rounds all exposed ends, softening the appearance of your custom granite or marble. A favorite among new parents, it maintains many of the visual elements of the standard edge while eliminating sharp angles that can leave bruises.
Ogee: Completing the Vision for Your Luxury Traditional Reno
Are you a fan of more traditional finishes such as antique furniture that reflects the opulence of the Victorian and Edwardian eras? Carry that look into your new kitchen with a marble or granite countertop featuring an ogee edge. This popular look features a concave cut that then flows into an answering convex curve to complete the edge. It is both a softer and more elegant solution when completing your kitchen renovation
Waterfall: Connecting Counters and Flooring with a Seamless Centerpiece
How do those TV home improvement shows create the look of an island clad all in marble? You may be thinking of a waterfall edge. Popular for kitchen islands that open onto living spaces, the top counter and matching side piece of stone are cut from the same slab using a miter cut. They then come together like a picture frame to create an unending stream of premium stone running across the countertop, over the edge, and down the side to the floor. It is a spectacular finish especially in rooms with similar flooring and countertop materials are used.
