Countertop Decorative Edges

There are several countertop decorative edges for homeowners to select
from to add style to any countertop surface.  The laminated countertop
is often chosen because it has an advantage over other countertop
materials because of the edge treatment. The edge treatment gives the
countertop a different and trendy look when compared to the other
countertops.  It also enhances the beauty of the countertop and gives an
attractive visual effect to any countertop.  In order to make the countertop in
one piece with the post forming process, the edges play the crucial
role.

Types of Decorative Edges

The common forms of decorative edges are waterfall and bull nose. In
the case of the waterfall, the front edge of the countertop is covered
with lamination. This kind of                                        edge
treatment does not give the full finish to the countertop.  In the case
of the bull nose, the lamination is also done under the countertop,
which gives the countertop a good finishing.  Double wrap is the other
part of the bull nose; in this case the countertop is laminated twice,
making the countertop more durable and attractive.
