Adds Dimension To Your Granite Countertop With Double Laminated Edge…
When it comes to countertops, customers have a variety of edge options to choose from such as an eased, bevel, half bullnose, full bullnose, or an ogee edge. While most customers tend to choose from our standard edge options, there are other options available, as well. From time to time, we have customers that are interested in a more customized edge, including a double laminated edge option, which gives the countertop a thicker appearance and adds some dimension. Granite and other natural stone slabs typically come in either 2 cm, or 3 cm thickness, so to achieve a thicker look, we would double laminate the edge. The process includes cutting and polishing extra material, which is then glued during the fabrication process to the perimeter edge of the top.
While a double laminated edge offers a nice look, a noticeable seam is often present, depending on the color of the material. It is also more expensive than standard edge options because the process not only requires more material, but also requires more labor to produce.
Let’s take a look at a job we recently fabricated in Golden Queen granite…

Add An Aesthetic Appeal To Your Countertop With A Mitered Edge…
Most countertop material comes in either a 2 cm, or 3 cm thickness. You may, however, have seen some countertops that appear thicker, but in actuality are a standard thickness with a built-up edge. This type of edge is called a mitered edge and gives the material a thicker aesthetic appearance.
Let’s take a look at an island we were fabricating a mitered edge on the other day…
Organic White Caesarstone
Notice how we are attaching and gluing more material to the perimeter of the island, so it takes on a thicker appearance.

This process is done for the entire piece and is then left to dry.
