Frequently Asked Questions
Which countertop edge is cheapest?
The eased edge is the baseline and the most economical choice on nearly every project. It is also the most contemporary look, so budget-friendly and modern go together here.
Which edge profile is best for kitchens with kids?
Rounded profiles like bullnose or a generously eased edge. There are no sharp corners at hip height, and rounded edges are more forgiving if someone bumps into them.
Do mitered edges chip easily?
A well-fabricated mitered edge is strong, but like any edge, the corner is the most exposed point. Eased and bullnose profiles are the most chip-resistant; ogee and dupont details need a bit more care.
Can I mix edge profiles in one kitchen?
Yes. A common approach is a statement edge (mitered or ogee) on the island and a simpler eased edge on the perimeter counters. It saves money while keeping the design impact where guests see it.
How do I choose an edge profile for my project?
Match the edge to the kitchen's style and your tolerance for maintenance: eased or bevel for modern, ogee or dupont for traditional, mitered or waterfall for a luxury island statement. Bring photos to our Northborough showroom and we will show you full-size samples before you decide.
