IN EVERY PROFILE

WORKTOP DETAILS

Granite, Quartz, Porcelain & Marble Edge Profiles.

Choosing the right edge profile
The right edge profile is about more than just aesthetics, it’s about comfort, safety, and long-term durability. At Unique Stone Surfaces, we precision-cut every edge to match your vision, whether you prefer a crisp modern line, a decorative classic, or a soft, rounded finish.

Quartz, Granite, and Marble Edging
While intricate profiles like the Ogee or Waterfall look stunning on Quartz and Granite, the best choice often depends on the specific slab.

• Natural Stone Characteristics: Some marbles and granites are more "open-grained" or brittle.
• Fabrication Pressure: High-pressure fabrication on fragile stones can lead to micro-chipping.
• Our Recommendation: To ensure the highest quality, we may recommend simpler profiles for particularly delicate natural stones to maintain the structural integrity of your worktop.

Specialist Advice for Porcelain Surfaces
For Porcelain worktops, we generally recommend a Standard Bevel or a Mitred Edge. There are two key reasons for this:

• Slim Profiles: Porcelain slabs are typically thinner than traditional 20mm or 30mm stone, providing less surface area for deep, decorative carving.
• Surface Patterns: Unlike "through-body" stones like Quartz, Porcelain designs are often digitally printed on the surface. A complex rounded edge can reveal the plain ceramic core, breaking the visual flow of the veining.

A clean, beveled edge ensures your Porcelain worktop remains sleek, contemporary, and cohesive with your kitchen design.
