ogee edge for granite

15 years ago

What is the average price increase for having a ogee edge on my granite? Is it a lot more expensive? Thanks

    Mine was $300 extra for roughly 250 linear feet. That came to about a 10% extra charge. I'd be interested in what others paid.

    Mine was free, but now I, wish I, would have done just a plain edge.

    Shar-az why do you say you wish you had a plain edge vs an ogee edge?

    We just paid a little less than $250 for the ogee edge on just under 50sq ft of granit. I LOVE IT!!! We were trying to sqeeze every ounce out of our budget, but in the end DH really wanted it and such a small increase was worth it. I'm interested as to why shar-az is unhappy, but I really feel like it makes my counters. It's the first thing my best friend commented on when she walked in - and said she regretted not doing it in her kitchen.

    It chips easier. Just another edge to clean. And I, just like the clean lines better.

    I am having my granite installed Monday- I went with a regular edge (free) on the perimeter and the ogee edge on my island that was an extra $310 for 20.73 sq ft which was $15.00 extra per sq ft and normally was $30 I got it reduced to half- now seeing that kngwd got a much better deal LOL!!
    I thought having the upgraded edge on the island would be nice I think the increase in the grand scheme of things is well worth it!

    My ogee was free when I got it, but I've heard prices from $3 a linear foot to $22 a linear foot -- go figure.

    I like mine since my house leans more traditional & when I see my friends' (& my laundry room) eased or pencil edge (definitely more streamlined look) I know I did the right thing. It is one more surface to wipe, but sooooooo classic.

    I am a granite fabricator in Central Florida and an OG edge is typically $18-$30 per linear foot depending upon the material used. Man made Quartz is softer and is rypically toward the lower end due to time, but some granites/marbles are $30 because it take hours to get around the piece without chiipping or breaking it. A router is used for the profiles and the edge is then hand polished and can add up to an entire day to the fabrication time. Blades for the router are very expensive some costing upwards of $300 (get about 3-5 jobs before dull and the bit starts splitting material) and you have to be very careful once the profile is set not to break the edges when moving and installing. Always remember that you get what you pay for and a good fabricator will take his time and will probably be in the range mentioned above. I would be very weary of using discount fabricators just to save a couple of hundred dollars. Below are some pics of the OG edge. It’s a nice looking profile and gives the stone a very deatiled look.

    I am a fabricator. For most stone the Ogee edge is just a different set of tooling on the CNC that takes the same amount of time as most other stones. Additional cost is warranted if your fabricator takes the time to manually put a slight round on the top edge of the Ogee profile to significantly reduce the potential for chipping. Many shops, mine included, won't do an Ogee on quartzite as real quartzite will use up a $3500 set of CNC tools on a single job. There are also some other stones like some schists that don't work well with an Ogee profile. If a fabricator tells you a certain profile is a poor choice for your stone you should listen.
