Straight edges are great in any style kitchen. They are especially appropriate for clean designs. A fancy edge attracts attention and you don’t want it to steal the show from other details in your kitchen so select an edge that doesn’t overwhelm the space. Straight edge also makes a good option when you pick a detailed edge on the kitchen island or bathroom vanity and then want to tone it down for the rest of the room.

Curved edges can be basic or fancy. They soften the feel of the room and work just as well in a contemporary design as they do in a classic design. Look to the details in your kitchen for inspiration. You may want to echo the curves of the cabinets or complement the architecture of the room. 

If you really want to make a statement with your granite countertop, a fancy edge will draw the attention you are looking for. These edges combine simpler edges into a whole new design or create something completely unique.

Note:  Custom Cuts and Edges can only be created with Raw Granite Slabs not prefab granite slabs.
