Edge Profiles

Edge profiles on stone countertops refer to the shape and finish of the countertop’s edges. They not only affect the overall look but also add a touch of style and personality to your kitchen or bathroom.

Standard edge profiles like Straight Edge, Quarter Round, Half Bullnose, and Quarter Bevel offer clean, simple lines that work well in most designs.

Upgraded edge profiles, such as Full Bullnose and Ogee, provide more decorative options for a more elegant or traditional appearance.

Two additional edge profiles are available that increase the edge thickness by using more material. Mitered edges are another option, where the countertop edge is cut at an angle and joined with another piece for a thick, modern appearance. Laminate edges—created by stacking two pieces of stone—make the edge appear thicker and more substantial.

Countertop aprons are vertical sections of stone or other material that drop down from the edge of the countertop, typically to cover the front face of a cabinet or support structure. They add a finished look and can help hide structural elements like supports or framing underneath. We offer a mitered edge apron and a stacked edge apron (laminated edge style).

Not all edge options are available with all stone types or stone thicknesses. Please check with your World Stone representative on edge profile availability.

Faucet Hole Spreads

Faucet hole spreads refer to the distance between the mounting holes on a countertop or sink, which determines what type of faucet will fit. Choosing the right spread ensures your faucet fits securely and complements your design.

A single-hole spread is designed for faucets that combine spout and handles in one unit, offering a clean, minimalist look.

A 4-inch spread, often called a centerset, typically accommodates faucets with a base that combines spout and handles, or with separate handles mounted close together.

An 8-inch spread, or widespread, fits faucets with individual hot and cold handles placed further apart, offering a more upscale, traditional appearance.

In addition to the main faucet holes, extra holes can be added for accessories like soap dispensers or air switches for garbage disposals, adding both functionality and convenience to your countertop setup.
