Material Behavior

How It Works on Each Material

The application and characteristics of edge profiles can vary depending on the surface material.

Quartz

Quartz is highly versatile and supports virtually all edge profiles with consistent results. The material machines beautifully, allowing for intricate profiles like ogee and complex mitered edges.

  • All edge profiles are available
  • Ogee and decorative edges show excellent detail
  • Waterfall applications are popular and effective

Porcelain

Porcelain requires specialized fabrication due to its hardness and brittleness. Mitered edges are particularly popular as they create a substantial appearance with thinner material.

  • Mitered edges are the premium choice
  • Straight (eased) edges minimize chipping risk
  • Beveled edges add subtle detail
