I'm not Joe, but I have photos of two kitchens I did last year. Both wanted the "Chip Minimizer edge around their sink, which is actually MORE than a 1/4 roundover....it's a 1/2 roundover. So both homeowners opted to do the 1/2 roundover on both sink and edge profile. Here are several pics of the tops showing this edge profile as it wraps around the farmsink. I would not want the eased edge at the sink if you're doing a rounded edge on the rest....but that's just my preference. If the 1/2 roundover is TOO much roundover for ya, then have them do the 1/4 round on all. It will still look very nice!

Here are the pics. Kelly

Wow, Kelly at The Kitchen Place. Thank you so much. Those look really nice! Great work.

Kelly at The Kitchen Place. Thank you for explaining about the roundover edges. Not sure if its a fair question, but does this look like a 1/4 inch radius edge profile. This is what they installed. I asked for 1/4 inch and this somehow seems more like a half inch.

Question: Will the 3/16" edge guard against chipping like a 1/4"? Are these differences negligible or is 1/4" better? My husband is a clumsy dish washer.

Negligible.

Question: Will going from a 1/4" edge profile at the counters, switching to 3/16" around the Apron sink corners look off?

No.

Thank you Joseph Corlett. Got your other comment regarding notifying Lowes.

Another question. The installer says this is a quarter inch radius edge (above), which I ordered. It looks like 1/2" to me. It's more round than I expected, but idk. Any opinion by just viewing the photos in the last post?

Your pics look like my fabricator's half round over. But you really need to see the labeled samples at their showroom or see if their website shows the edges. All fabricators have different edges and call them different things. It's annoying. We use two fabricators and they both call them something different. Eased vs pencil; rounover vs 1/4 round; Ogee vs roman ogee and so on. We have to document which fabricator and edge on our paperwork so no errors are made.

The Kitchen Place. Thank you; I've noticed you often generously serve this community. I see that the benefit of in-person view and sign-off cannot be overated. The fabricator just now begrudgingly invited me to the warehouse to see samples. I will. They sent me to Lowe's first to look at the edge profile samples; I went and Lowe's did not have them. I fault Lowe's. I wanted to pay more for a local fabricator but DH wanted that discount. Well, you know the drill.
