xp: countertop question

snowflakemom

We are putting Zodiaq (an engineered stone) in our new house. We need to decide what type of edge to get. Straight/square? Rounded? What do you have? Do you like it - why/why not?

We have a rounded edge to our Corian countertops and I have no complaints.

I have rounded on mine. I like it, but to me it depends on color. If you have a really light stone, I love a square edge. My counter is dark.

I can't speak for that particular surface, but we upgraded on all of our granite and marble countertops and went with an Ogee edge.  VERY happy that we did!

I have an ogee on my granite as well and like it.  I think if I had to choose again I'd get that huge thick chunky roughe edge kind.  I'm sure it has a more technical name but it's like really thick- about 3 layers of granite I'd guess?

That's called a "beavered edge" no lie!  lol   And we have it upstairs in the bathrooms and it's really cool looking....but it snags *** when I'm leaning in to brush teeth/put makeup on, etc.

beavered huh? Well now I know what to ask for if I ever build or redo anything here!

I didn't think about the snagging...I just think it looks so fun!
