Kitchen worktop edges that complement your sink
Posted by Sinks on 27th Jun 2017
When selecting your new kitchen sink, it is important that it is complemented by your choice of worktop. You will find there is a vast choice of kitchen worktops available to you. One thing to consider is the type of edge detail you would like to go for. Some examples to consider are Beveled Edge The beveled edge has a sleek, angled look and is popular in the more contemporary designs. The beveled edge has a clipped flat corner which is usually at a 45-degree angle. This type is easy to clean but spillages will trickle onto the floor as the bottom edge comes to a point. Bullnose Edge The bullnose edge is one of the most popular as it complements any style of kitchen. It also looks great in stone. The bullnose edge is rounded from top to bottom, which gives it a soft look. Again, it is easy to clean and spillages will not trickle down onto the floor as they will follow the roundness underneath. Demi-Bullnose Edge The demi-bullnose edge is similar to the bullnose except that it is rounded on the top side and has a sharper edge on the bottom. The roundedness also has a wider angle. This edge also works well with any design style. It is easy to clean but spillages will trickle down onto the floor, as the bottom edge comes to a point. Eased Edge The eased edge is the simplest of edge types and is most commonly used in modern designs with simple design. The eased edge is simply a square 90 degree edge with a slightly smooth edge to make it less harsh than a sharp straight edge. Again, it is easy to clean but spillage will trickle down onto the floor, as the bottom edge comes to a point. The eased edge gives the worktop the thickest look. Ogee Edge / Cove Ogee Edge The ogee edge has more intricate detail. It usually has two curves but this can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer. This edge has more curves and grooves to clean but is comfortable on the elbows when leaning on the countertop, due to its roundness.
