StoneMatch Edge Guide
Ogee vs Bullnose.
Which edge suits your kitchen?
Both soften the straight line of a standard edge, but they create very different effects. Choose the profile because it improves the design — not simply because it costs more to fabricate.
See all edge profiles →OgeeDecorative & architecturalA shaped feature profile with more visual detail. It can suit traditional, classic and statement kitchens where the worktop edge is intended to be noticed.
BullnoseSoft & roundedA curved profile that visually softens the worktop and can work particularly well on islands and curved cabinetry.
FabricationComplexity mattersFeature profiles generally require more fabrication than a standard double bevel. Actual availability and cost depend on material, thickness and fabricator.
AlternativeStandard can be betterIn a clean contemporary kitchen, a simple double bevel may look more deliberate than either decorative option.
StoneMatch principle
Spend the extra
where you can see it.
Edge detail should be considered with cabinetry, material pattern and thickness. Sometimes the feature edge earns its place. Sometimes we'd rather keep the edge simple and spend the budget elsewhere.
