Four Popular Edge Styles for Bathroom Countertops

Because your countertop is a surface you use and touch several times a day, it is essential to choose an edge style that is both practical and complements the rest of your bathroom renovation in Sarasota, FL.

Square
The square edge is one of the most basic cuts for a countertop. While it includes a sleek and clean line, you should notice small grooves to soften an otherwise sharp corner. Square edges can complement any design, but they’re ideal if you want to draw attention to other decorative elements in your bathroom.

Beveled
A bevel cut is made at a 45-degree angle along the top edge of the countertop. With its sleek and angled look, the beveled edge is one of the most popular granite countertop edges, especially in elegant, contemporary designs.

Bullnose
A bullnose edge is rounded to a semi-circular shape. This style is popular because it adds a warm and soft profile to the countertop. We suggest this edge style for countertops in bathrooms that will be used by small children, as there are no sharp corners.

Half-bullnose
The half-bullnose edge features a slight curve on the upper surface of the countertop; unlike the traditional bullnose, however, the bottom portion is straight. This profile allows water to smoothly run off the countertop without damaging the cabinets below.
