We just got our Nougat countertops installed on Monday. I LOVE the color! Our edge treatment has a slightly rounded edge. It has the straight-edge look, but I think it'll help prevent chipping.

We have totally square Caesarstone edges and undermount sinks. No chipping after over a year.

We had eased edge installed about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday, we found a chip above the dishwasher. It's just the two of us and we're very careful. All I can think of is that we tapped the edge with a glass while unloading. Fortunately we found the chip next to the sponge that dislodged it. They will repair it when they come out today to fix the dull spots from BKF that they used to clean off the epoxy during install! What an ordeal!

I'm very nervous about our edge now. I don't think quartz is as tough as they claim it to be.

I've had Caesarstone with an eased edge for 6 months and so far, so good. My undermount sink has a positive reveal and one of the reasons I chose that was because the quartz is not the leading edge around the sink.

Love this forum! I didn't realize there was a positive reveal sink option. I like the way that looks.

We are not delicate with our kitchen and I've loved my last two 90/10 drop-in stainless sinks. We are going to change to a single bowl sink for the=is facelift and I am exploring options besides stainless. Would a white drop-in sink look okay with Nougat?

We had eased edge Dupont Zodiaq installed 3.5 years ago.

Discovered a chip in the edge very early when work was still being done by various contractors.

I ran my hand around the edge after install and it was perfect. I believe a tool might have been dropped or banged. But I didn't see who did it.

No chips since. I bang glasses getting them out of the DW, etc.

It will break the glass, or dish, before it chips.

maybe if you toss cast iron pans into the sink?

I think a white sink would work with Nougat if the whites don't clash. I'll try to post some pics of it today or tomorrow.

I have the nougat on perimeter and misty carrera on island. straight mitered edges, teenagers , no chips-2 years now.

Have had eased edge Silestone with undermount sink for almost 2 years. We've had several chips in the edge mostly in the sink area. Due to banging the All Clad pots and pans, I guess. Oh well. I'm over it already.

Is this a crazy idea? I kinda like this deep Numerar sink from IKEA and the way it would eliminate all possibility of chips in the quartz around the sink area (color me a little OCD...)

Thoughts?

Now, you've got me worried: A). We happen to be picking out our caesarstone edge as we speak, were going to go eased edge AND B). I am getting ORGANIC WHITE for my island which will have the only sink and be a WORKING island...

Anyone out there with organic white? Problems with stains?????

Very useful information. I like the look of a squared edge, but I certainly want to avoid chipping.

On the US Caesarstone website, they have edge profiles. I don't see "eased" edge. Is that the same as what they call "radius"?

No, square edge. Here's my chip. As you can see, it starts right where the bevel is. They repaired it today and it looks really good, though they're coming back to change the color. They did not reattach the chip because it would have stuck out and they'd have to polish it, which is hard to do on quartz, so they only filled it in.

@linelle - Good info about the reveal options. I also was not aware of this. Always assumed I would do a zero reveal. Now I am rethinking this.
