What Is A Laminate Edge?

The finished edge on your stone kitchen or bathroom vanity is also known as a “laminate”. Edges are referred to as laminates when a neighboring strip of stone from your slab is cut and adhered beneath the countertop’s overhang.

Once the strip is cut, it is matched up with the overhang of your future countertop.

Fabricators will then glue and clamp this edge together with the countertop. Soon it will be routered into the desired shape, and polished.

One of the most commonly seen edges is the bullnose edge. Bullnose is a simple round edge that looks appropriate in nearly any home. Due to the popularity of this particular edge style, laminate edges are sometimes referred to as “bullnose”, regardless of the actual style.
