There are many different edge treatment styles when it comes to solid surface countertops (granite, Corian, marble, quartz, etc). These edge treatment styles can give definition and personality to a countertop and the room the countertop is in.
When shopping for solid surface countertops it is important to look at actual samples of countertop edge treatments. It is also important to know that more detailed countertop edges may come with a higher cost and longer lead time.
Some examples of edge treatments are:
- Demi Bullnose
- Full Bullnose
- Eased
- Quarter Round
- Ogee
- Custom Edge
Before making a decision on your countertop, be sure to see the different samples of edge treatments as well as pictures of installations with those treatments to help make the most informed decision possible.

I know custom edges are available with quartz. I think it’s a great feature of quartz countertops. The only problem with custom edges is sometimes people design an edge that is highly susceptible to chipping.
