Kitchen remodeling projects often include installing new countertops. Many homeowners might not consider or don’t know about the different types of edging available for countertops.

Counter Top Edge Options Are More Diverse Than Round or Square

Many homeowners opt for granite countertops when remodeling their kitchens and most believe there are only two types, square and round. There are many types of edging profiles available and you should have a look at all of them to ensure you select one which suits your taste.

Different Types of Counter Top Edges:

1.    Flat – most common standard edge with a flat face profile
2.    Half or demi bullnose – the front edge is rounded to the bottom
3.    Full bullnose – the edging is rounded from the top all the way underneath the face
4.    Bevel – the edge angles down from the top to the bottom edge
5.    Ogee – the edge takes a concave curve to the middle of the front edge and then rounds back out to the bottom edge

Choose the Edging Style That Will Give Your Kitchen Design the Most Style

These are just a few of the edging profiles available for your new kitchen countertops. Choose one that fits your taste and adds style to your kitchen.

Whatever your taste and style demands, you will find a wide selection of Kitchen Remodeling products at DirectBuy that will provide quality and savings – up to 50% off retail.

Most everyone has a stack of recycling bins out in the garage. Do you ever wonder what ever becomes of all those milk jugs, empty bottles, and broken down boxes? Well, one product derived from plastics and glass is countertops. Kitchen countertops made of recycled products are both beautiful and unique.

Manufacturers of recycled countertops combine glass and resin with plastics, dinnerware, paper, etc. to produce one-of-a-kind products. No two countertops will be the exactly same when produced through a recycling method.

As you look at countertop options for your kitchen remodeling, consider a unique recycled product. It will be a testament to what can be produced from all those filled recycle bins sitting in your garage.
