Adding a bullnose edge?
Comments (2)Yes, a router could be used for that. You'd need a bit with the same profile, and it's fairly easy to do....See MoreMitered edge or flat edge with the added piece in the middle?
Comments (11)Hey bahacca! "Your" slab was still there last time I was there - but that was several weeks ago now when I got things firmed up to ship my slabs to AZ. (And it was Robert's last day. :( I liked him! He was off to bigger and better things in Seattle, WA.) Hi cmlind - I hadn't thought about what bahacca mentioned about the thinness of the edge. I decided to go with just a flat edge. This is a new build and everything has been difficult (some of my own making - like requesting a new exterior color option - and getting it!! :) so I'm just going with the normal edge to make one thing somewhat easier. I also have confidence in my fabricator because my designer said he is awesome. She also said a mitered edge was quite a bit more expensive. And, unfortunately my granite is only 2cm so there will be a seam all the way around the front of the counters that I was not going to have mitered, so... I'm going with a regular cut. I told the designer to tell the fabricator I'm pretty anal about seams so to match things up as well as utterly possible. :) Sorry to hear about your marble seam not looking good egganddart. I'm going with marble in the bathrooms and am sure there will be a seam in the 90" vanity. Although I hope not! Hope it looks ok!...See MoreMasterbath Tile Trim - Bullnose vs Aluminum Edge Trim?
Comments (12)If the bullnoses are available, then use them. It makes for a more cohesive look without adding another element. You may save a bit going with the metal trim, but that will go out the window when you'll need the metal edge corners; and if those are not available how well will the installer make those mitre corners?...See MoreGranite counter edge - 1/2 bullnose or 1/2 eased with corner radius
Comments (2)@AFritzler - thanks so much for replying I ended doing a 1/2 bullnose edge as did not want any chipping issue. My fabricator mentioned that an eased edge was most popular today- maybe because of the contemporary look with quartz. But I was ok with the 1/2 bullnose as my kitchen is transitional and not contemporary/modern . 1/2 bullnose also shows granite thickness and my pattern seems to flow over the top edge. An eased may have been a more solid look though. Sink - I did a 3/8 rounded edge with a very, very slight positive reveal (thanks to advice from houzz). Corner radius my fabricator matched to the sink. I am happy with the outcome, but it took a lot of researching what to do- lol Thanks again for replying...See MoreUser
