Different types of edge profiles
When designing a kitchen, every detail matters. From cabinetry to worktops, each element contributes to the overall aesthetic and functionality of your space. One detail that often gets overlooked but plays a significant role in your kitchen’s style is the edge profile of your worktop. This seemingly small decision can have a significant impact on the overall look of your kitchen.
The edge style provides the perfect finishing touch for your worktop, and at Al-Murad, we offer a wide range of edge profile designs to help you create your dream kitchen. In this guide, we’ll explore five popular options: Ogee, Double Bevel, Shark Nose, Square Edge, and Chamfered.
Ogee Edge
The Ogee edge features a gracefully rounded profile, transitioning from a concave to a convex curve along the edge of the countertop. This profile adds a sense of fluidity and movement to your worktop. The double curve is carefully crafted to create a sophisticated, polished look, which is why the Ogee edge is commonly found in high-end kitchens, particularly those with traditional, vintage, or luxury themes.
Square Edge
The Square edge profile is the ultimate in simplicity, offering clean, straight lines for a modern and understated appearance. This versatile edge works well with a variety of materials and kitchen styles.
Chamfered Edge
The Chamfered edge profile is a versatile option that features a slight bevel along the top edge of the worktop. This profile strikes a balance between the clean look of a square edge and the angularity of a bevel, creating a softer, more refined finish
Shark Nose
The Shark Nose edge profile is a bold yet understated choice for modern and avant-garde kitchens. This profile creates an ultra-thin appearance by angling the edge back, making the worktop look sleek and weightless.
Double Bevel
The Double Bevel edge is a contemporary design that features two angled cuts along the top and bottom edges of the worktop. This sleek and angular profile creates a striking visual effect, especially when light reflects off its facets.
We have a diverse range of worktop edge profiles which ensures there’s a style for every kitchen design. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of the Ogee, the modern sophistication of the Double Bevel, the minimalist appeal of the Shark Nose, the clean lines of the Square edge, or the subtle refinement of the Chamfered edge, each profile adds a unique touch to your kitchen.
