Edging to Desired Profile per Metre

Description

What is edging to desired profile and why does it matter?

Custom worktop edge profiles are the perfect way to add a bespoke look to your new kitchen. It’s the ideal way to put your stamp on a space, adding detail and a polished finish to your worktops for that professional finishing touch, whether your style is classic and traditional or ultra-modern and contemporary.

Edging to desired profile is also a great way to enhance the durability of your worktops, preventing chipping and splintering. Better still, it can be a desirable safety feature: rounded edge worktops soften any sharp edges that could cause injury in a family kitchen.

What to consider when choosing bespoke worktop edging

Personal taste is key, but here are some other factors to consider before you buy edging to desired profile for your worktops:

• Durability: The more intricate the profile, the more susceptible to wear and tear over time. For instance, an ogee profile may not be suitable in a busy kitchen.
• Safety and hygiene: Rounded edge worktops reduce the risk of injury if you have young children and are easier to keep clean than some ornate styles.
• Versatility: Some worktop edge shapes are more versatile than others and suit both contemporary and traditional kitchens. Keep it simple if you’re thinking of selling or have future upgrades in mind.
• Aesthetics: Think about your space and how worktop edge shapes will work with your cabinets. For instance, chamfered edge worktops may look busy in a smaller space.

Which custom worktop edge profiles are best for my kitchen?

When you buy edging to desired profile for your worktops, you’re elevating the look and feel of your kitchen by investing in your personal style. Here’s how to choose the perfect bespoke worktop edging for your next kitchen remodel:

Chamfer edge profile

Chamfered edge worktops are enduringly popular, and for good reason. They combine clean lines with durability and safety, and effortlessly bridge the gap between contemporary and traditional kitchen styles.

So what makes chamfered edge worktops such a versatile choice? A chamfered edge involves cutting the profile, usually at 45 degrees, then bevelling the edge for a rounded finish. The resulting crisp, clean lines work equally well with a country estate kitchen, matte painted shaker cabinets or a modern minimalist design.

Ogee edge profile

Ogee edge worktops feature a flowing S-shaped profile that suits a formal, high-end kitchen. Try adding an ogee profile to a substantial kitchen island or peninsula for a uniquely sophisticated look. This profile looks particularly good on lighter hued timbers such as ash or oak.

The S-curve makes a showstopping visual feature that requires space to shine, so consider something less showy in a smaller kitchen so the space isn’t overwhelmed.

Round over profile: Fillet, medium and large

Rounded edged worktops are a timeless choice for any kitchen. Softening the edges creates a smooth, polished finish, and we can produce curves from medium to large to suit your kitchen design. Round over or fillet profiles are available on both the top and bottom edges of your worktop, making them ideal for high-traffic kitchen islands and busy family kitchens.

This profile type suits any worktop, providing a comfortable surface to lean against. Safer, more durable, and more hygienic than more ornate profiles, it gives modern spaces an architectural edge, but looks equally at home with a butcher’s block worktop in a casual country kitchen.

Roman edge profile

This ornate classically styled profile sits best in high-end country estate kitchens that lean into grandeur and craftsmanship. This ogee-style edge profile works best as a focal point: try a luxurious and sweeping kitchen island that showcases the design.

This beautiful profile works best with the elegant grain of walnut or the rich lustre of warm-toned woods like sapele and cherry.

Softened edge profile

Unlike a rounded edged worktop, a softened edge profile takes the edges off a straight-edged worktop for additional resilience and safety. An affordable option, a softened edge suits any kitchen and works equally well with Shaker-style cabinets or minimalist designs.

It’s a versatile profile that maintains the clean-edged look of a 90-degree worktop, while softening the harshness and reducing the potential for accidents. It works particularly well on warm woods including sapele, iroko and rustic or prime oak.
