Define Your Style
Understanding Edge Profiles
This page answers the question: What edge profile options are available for quartz and porcelain countertops?
We offer a full range of edge profiles from clean modern eased edges to elegant ogee and dramatic waterfall designs. Each profile is available for both quartz and porcelain, with specific recommendations based on material properties.
The edge profile of your countertop defines its character. From sleek modern bevels to ornate traditional ogees, the right edge transforms your surface from functional to exceptional.

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
Where This Works Best
Different edge profiles options are suited to different environments. Here's where each shines.
