Does anyone know the answer to this - I have a 2 1/2" mitered flat edge and shaker overlay doors. When the doors were installed I noticed that I only have a 1/8" overlay over the door and drawer fronts. The counter does not protect the doors at all. Now the fabricator tells me that with a mitered edge they can only make a 1" overlay and not the 1 1/2 overlay that is standard with a flat eased edge. They said that when using a mitered edge only an inset door and drawer will do so that you can get enough overhang. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Any suggestions in how to correct this problem? How to add on to a granite edge. I can't rip out the countertop. Could possibly plane down the doors and drawers or make new inset doors and drawers but this is problematic to do.

I have squared edge granite counter tops. Believe me, you don’t want them squared. First of all, they are dangerous, especially to children, and secondly (you should have said what the material was of which they are composed) even my granite (which is much harder and less porous than marble) counter tops have chipped and nicked. You were lucky the contractor bought the tops with rounded corners.

Live_Wire_oak: Would you be willing to comment on my other thread? In particular, I am unsure about how to mix metals. I don't like them all to match. We have lots of light fixtures in the open concept area, and I am unsure if we need to stick with the same finish for all the light fixtures and all the cabinet hardware. Please comment in this thread, if you have a chance. Thank you for all your help over the years!!! https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5956675/i-am-still-stuck-on-mixing-metal-finishes-in-open-concept-homes#n=2

We have a honed dolomite on hold. Yes, we are doing a raised panel cabinet, so a little more traditional. I was thinking about doing Ogee only around the island and eased everywhere else. I have been told by many people that honed will help hide most etching that may occur. I will need to figure out what is best to seal it, however.
