Our Ultimate Countertop Edge Comparison

Not all counters are created equal. Each one is special in its own unique way, with one of their identifying qualities being their stylish edges. Not sure what type of cut to go with? Revive Design and Renovation brings you this ultimate countertop edge comparison so you can choose your next counterspace with purpose! If you’re more of a visual learner, you’re welcome to visit our showroom for samples.

The Satisfying Simplicity of Eased Edges

Let’s start with the simple yet stunning option: the eased edge. Eased edges are straight and squared off with soft cuts and corners. Going with the standard for your countertop can evoke a modern and contemporary look with satisfying minimalism. Ease-edge counters are often a great choice for showcasing the beauty of the material you choose without distractions and it’s also why homeowners typically pair this style with breathtaking marble. Since the manufacturing is simplified, these types of counters are also among the most cost-effective options. Eased edges are commonly used for both kitchen and bathroom counters.

Capture Your Space’s Best Angle With Beveled Edges

Imagine a square edge with a 45-degree angle shaved off the corner. That’s what a beveled edge is, and it’s the perfect choice for those who want something a little different. This simple bevel gives a sophisticated look with low effort and is highly recommended for bathroom counters set in a luxurious-themed space. Jazz up your counter without taking away from the rest of the room with this easy style!

Take the Edge Off With Bullnose Countertops

If eased and beveled edges are a bit too sharp for your busy household, bullnose edges are the go-to for homeowners with little ones running around. Bullnose counters are rounded from top to bottom for a completely blunt edge, making it one of the safest options for countertops. They’re highly recommended in high-traffic kitchens but can work anywhere and look great with any type of material.

What Is a Half-Bullnose Edge? Simply put, a half-bullnose is rounded on the top and flat on the bottom. This gives you the lovely appearance of a rounded bullnose on top but with a traditional cut underneath. This style can grant your countertop the optical illusion of seeming wider than it actually is!

Go For a Dip. Go With Cove Edges!

What’s a coved edge? Let’s go back to our standard eased edge and scoop out a dip across the length of it. Having that little alcove is what gives the cove edge its name, and it’s especially popular with bathroom counters as it adds a bit of quirkiness to an otherwise ordinary space.

Give Your Kitchen Voluptuous Curves With Ogee Counters

Finally, we have one of the most complex shapes used for countertops. The ogee edge carves an S-shaped curve into your slab of choice for a totally unique look that can make any kitchen look incredibly expensive. There are many distinct variations of the ogee edge which makes them rather uncommon but also a tad more costly. However, many would agree that it’s worth the added depth to your kitchen space.
