Welcome to Granite System’s guide to countertop edge profiles! Whether you pick granite, quartz, or another stone, your edge shape sets the style and function of your countertops. Below, you’ll find simple definitions, examples, and cost tips to help you choose.
What Is an Edge Profile?
First, an edge profile is the shape cut along the front and sides of your stone slab. Next, it adds style and helps with cleanup and safety. Also, the right profile can make a thin slab look thicker without extra cost.

Design Boost: A straight edge feels modern, while an ogee curve adds a classic touch.

Everyday Use: Rounded edges cut down chips and make wiping spills easier.
