Everything You Ever Needed Or Wanted To Know About Kitchen Counter Edge Profiles

When undergoing any home renovation, decision fatigue can be a real challenge. In a kitchen renovation alone, you may need to make over 150 individual choices, including hardware type, layout, cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, lighting, countertop materials, and even how the edge of the countertop is finished. If you’re working with a designer, they can provide guidance, but if you’re tackling it solo, consider this your guide to countertop edge profiles.

There are several common countertop edge profiles to choose from, such as eased, bullnose, and bevel. Premium profiles like miter, ogee, dupont, and cove are also available as upgrades. Additionally, custom edges can be created for a more specialized look, but these require special tools and expertise. Before making a decision, consult with your fabricator or general contractor to explore available options and any limitations based on your countertop material and the fabricator’s capabilities.

What Are The Common Counter Edge Profiles?

There are different types of edge profiles to choose from, ranging from standard to premium to custom designs. It’s important to communicate with your fabricator to understand what options are available and what might work best for your kitchen style and countertop material.


It’s essential to understand the cost implications of different edge profiles and to ensure that your fabricator has the necessary tools and experience to execute your desired design. Custom designs may incur additional charges, so it’s important to discuss pricing and options with your fabricator beforehand.

Lamination can also be used to create unique edging styles, providing a thicker look to the countertop without doubling the thickness. Consult with your fabricator to explore lamination options and ensure that your desired edge profile can be achieved.

Countertop Profile Need-To-Knows (Including Costs)

Below, I have compiled a chart breaking down each edge profile by cost range and the material types they work best on. Keep in mind that your specific fabricator may have their own preferences:

The key for the markings on the right are as follows:

✓ = good choice | ! = caution, but doable | X = not advised

It’s important to note that the check marks and cost ranges are general guidelines. Your fabricator may have different pricing and availability. Similarly, keep in mind that intricate edge finishes are typically reserved for smaller areas like bathrooms due to both budget and functionality considerations.

If you’re looking to mix edge profiles, ensure they complement each other in style. For example, pairing a modern miter with a traditional ogee may not work well. Consider customizing edges for specific areas like islands to add visual interest without breaking the budget.

Real Kitchen Examples Of Counter Edges In Action

Visual examples help in understanding the impact of different edge profiles. Most kitchens typically feature standard eased profiles like the one below:

Eased profiles are versatile and work well in various kitchen styles. For those seeking a more decorative option, an ogee profile offers elegance and suits traditional or modern kitchens. The examples below showcase different variations of ogee edges:

The mountain house kitchen features a mitered edge for a modern, sharp look that complements the kitchen’s style. The choice of edge profile can enhance the overall aesthetic and highlight the beauty of the countertop material.

Exploring Instagram reveals various edge profiles in action, from classic bullnose to trendy laminated styles. Consider the balance between aesthetics and practicality when choosing an edge profile for your kitchen.

When it comes to creating unique countertop edges, the possibilities are endless. You can combine different profiles to achieve a look that is truly one-of-a-kind. For example, a cove bullnose edge combines the sharpness of a cove with the softness of a bullnose, creating a striking transition on the countertop.

While bevel cuts may seem more modern, they can add warmth to a kitchen, especially when used on a butcher block end-grain island. The choice of material can greatly impact the overall appearance of the profile, as seen in the waterfall edge on the island.

In one kitchen, wood countertops with a laminated ogee edge are paired with a marble island featuring an ogee bullnose edge. The combination may seem unconventional, but it works beautifully in this space designed by (re)work Architecture & Design.

Another stunning example is a countertop from deVol, showcasing a dupont edge on black and white stones. This traditional and high-end profile adds elegance to the kitchen, but is best suited for larger, counter-rich spaces.

Whether you’re planning a kitchen renovation or simply looking for inspiration, exploring different countertop edge profiles can add a touch of sophistication to your space. Feel free to share your thoughts and questions in the comments below. Until next time!
