Our team at The Granite Guy has extensive experience in creating and installing all types of stone countertops. When you come to us for new counters for your kitchen, bathroom, or other space, we will work with you to select the ideal stone for your needs, then cut the slab into the right shape and dimensions for your home. As part of this service, we will also help you select the right countertop edges.
In this article, we will go over a few tips on how to select the ideal countertop edges for your needs.
- Consider your family’s safety. Our first tip for choosing the right countertop edges is to think about safety. Some edge profiles create sharp corners, which create a safety hazard for small children, while others have rounded corners, which create much less of a risk. Our team can help you select the right edge profile for your needs.
- Select a durable and resilient shape. Another thing to think about when choosing countertop edges is longevity and durability. Some edge shapes are easier to chip than others, so if you want your counters to last as long as possible, we recommend avoiding sharp corner and thin beveled areas.
- Be realistic about your maintenance routine. Lastly, some countertop edges are harder to clean. Edge shapes with many bumps and contours are more likely to trap crumbs and stains, while smooth edge shapes tend to stay cleaner. Fancy curves are also harder to clean than simple lines.
If you have any questions about countertop edges, we encourage you to give us a call to speak to one of our team members.
