Choosing the Right Edge
The edge profile defines the finished character of a countertop, stair tread, vanity top, or window sill more than the stone itself. A square-edge slab reads contemporary and minimal; an ogee edge reads classical and traditional. Making the correct choice early in specification avoids costly profile changes in fabrication.
All profiles below are available on marble, granite, and limestone. Minimum slab thickness varies by profile — profiles with deeper geometry (Ogee, Dupont, Waterfall) require 3 cm minimum slab thickness. Standard profiles (Bevel, Bullnose, Eased) work on 2 cm slabs.

How to Order Edge Profiling
Edge profiling is added to any slab or tile order. Specify the profile name, which edge(s) should be profiled (front edge only, all edges, nosing edge only), and the slab thickness. Profiling adds 3–5 working days to standard production time and is priced per linear meter of profiled edge.
