Edge profiles

The edge treatment defines how a worktop, window sill or step reads. Our standard profiles at a glance — special shapes on request.

M1 · Standard

Square edge with a light 45° bevel

Our standard edge treatment: a square edge with a light 45° bevel top and bottom. Plain, safe, kind to the arris — the right choice for 90 % of worktop and window sill projects.

M3

Top edge rounded (r = 5 mm), bottom edge 45° bevel

Soft to the hand at the top, a clean line below. Particularly pleasant on kitchen worktops and vanity tops — and less prone to showing fingerprints than a sharp top edge.

M6

Quarter round (r = material thickness)

The entire visible edge becomes a quarter circle with a radius equal to the slab thickness. Generous, soft, classic — for statement worktops where the edge is meant to be present.

M7 · Bullnose

Half round (bullnose, d = material thickness)

The edge is a full semicircle across the whole slab thickness. Soft, inviting and very child-friendly — a popular choice for kitchen islands and freestanding vanity units.

M11 · Swiss edge

Facet with a rounded top edge

A rounded top edge running down and back as an angled facet. The slab reads as lighter because the underside visually recedes — a modern classic for understated designs.

Drip groove

Any profile with a drip groove on the underside

The drip groove is not a profile in its own right but a longitudinal channel routed into the underside, in addition to any edge you choose (M1 or M3, for example). Rainwater runs off at the groove instead of tracking along the underside — the standard for window sills and external copings.

Mitre

Mitred and bonded

Two pieces cut at 45° and bonded, giving an almost seamless corner that reads like a solid block. The visible outer edges are lightly eased. The premium solution for kitchen islands, freestanding vanity units and stair treads.

The profiles shown are our standard range. Special profiles (facets, deep coves, stepped edges with a setback and so on) are made to order for the individual project — please bring a sketch or detail drawing to the appointment.
