Granite Countertops—Spotlight On Edges!
While many customers come out to our showroom prepared to make their color selections for their granite countertops, they may not realize there are other selections to be made as well. Once a customer has selected a color, the next step in the process is to make an edge selection. There are a variety of edges to choose from including eased, bullnose, half bullnose, bevel, ogee, plus an array of custom edges. While some edges are more decorative, or give a different look and feel, at PGC, our eased edge is by far the most popular among our customers (at least 90 percent of the countertops we fabricate). It offers a simple, clean look and is included in our standard pricing structure. While some fabricators may offer a “so-called” Free full bullnose edge option, it actually gives the countertop a thinner thickness appearance, which is not always desired.
According to “Here’s an edge that can make a difference,” an article found in the Fall 2008 issue of Stone Dimensions magazine, “With today’s high-tech edge profiling machines, there are viturally unlimited types of standard and custom edge designs available for the consumer, but surprisingly, only a handful of edge profiles are selected. Simplicity seems to be the norm.”
No matter what edge profile you select, it is important to choose the edge option that is right for you!
