The edge is a quarter-inch decision that changes the whole room.
Most people choose their stone and their cabinets and never think about the profile — the shape milled into the front edge of the countertop. It’s a small detail that quietly sets the tone: softer and more traditional, or crisp and modern. We put this guide together with our fabrication partner, , to make the choice easier. Here are the seven we specify most.
01 — Eased / Flat · The modern default. A clean square edge with the sharpness just taken off.
02 — Quarter Round Bullnose · A soft rounded top with a crisp underside. Easy on the hands, still tailored.
03 — Quarter Bevel · A subtle angled cut that adds definition without drawing attention.
04 — Half Bullnose · The timeless middle ground. Rounded, forgiving, and effortless to keep clean.
05 — Half Bevel · A deeper angle with more presence. Catches the light and reads custom.
06 — Full Bullnose · Fully rounded, top and bottom. Soft, family-friendly, and warm.
07 — Ogee · The statement edge. A sculpted S-curve for a more traditional, detailed room.
There’s no wrong answer — only the one that fits how you live and the look you’re after. Between our design team and Trinity’s fabrication, we’ll walk you through it with the actual stone in hand.
