In the post below, we discussed how the type of edges chosen for granite countertops can enhance their beauty as a focal point in any style kitchen. So now we would like to explore some of the possibilities when it comes to choosing edges on granite countertops. The slightest variance in the shape of the edge can significantly affect the look of the stone. The edges that will optimize the form and function of granite countertops will depend on the size, style and layout of the kitchen. From the most common to the more customized, here are just some of the edging options that architects, contractors, designers and homeowners have to choose from.
