Caesarstone countertop edge?

11 years ago

I'm in the middle of a hall bathroom remodel and it has come time for my countertop to be fabricated -- it will be a 49" x 22" Caesarstone top in Organic White, and it will sit on a dark brown espresso vanity. I'm having a hard time deciding on the edge finish. Any advice as to what to choose, or is it based purely on what look appeals to me? I should also mention that this is the bathroom that my 3-year-old son primarily uses, so I don't know if a rounded edge is more practical or not...

I would use an eased edge. It's the most contemporary, and I think of espresso and white quartz as contemporary. I wouldn't worry about chipping the edge. I think that's much more likely to occur in a kitchen where you're banging pots and pans around. If you had to have a chip repaired, white will be easy to color match.

Ditto on the eased edge. It looks square without being "sharp."

I would do an eased edge too unless my vanity was ornate, then I would consider a modified olgee type edge.

The vanity is contemporary. Looks like eased edge is the way to go!

Another vote for eased. I have it on both my Caesarstone kitchen counter and honed carrara in the bathroom. Simple and clean.

I have an eased edge with exactly the same styles and colors as you - contemporary, Ceasarstone organic white, dark brown cabinet. I don't have a photo handy, but I can take one later if it will help.

I'm deciding on edges too. We're going with this one. I'm not sure what it's called. I thought it was pencil?

@rachel1025 - we went to Caesarstone's head office to look at slabs and the organic white is gorgeous. Our choice is frosty corrina.
