Hardy Stone — Which Edge Fits Me?

Which edge fits your kitchen?

Two quick questions about your style and how you live. We'll match you to the right edge profile — and explain why.

Question 1 of 2
How would you describe your kitchen style?
Clean and modern Flat fronts, minimal hardware, simple lines. You want the stone to speak quietly.
Warm and traditional Raised panels, warm tones, character details. You want the edge to add something.
Transitional — a mix of both Not too modern, not too traditional. You want balance and something that works long-term.
Bold statement The kitchen is the room. You want people to notice the countertop before anything else.
Question 2 of 2
How would you describe how you use the kitchen?
Busy family — kids, pets, everyday life High traffic. Easy to clean is important. No sharp edges on the corners.
Serious cook — heavy use, hot pans You're at the counter a lot. Durability and a clean wipe-down matter more than decoration.
Mostly for entertaining and looks The kitchen is a showpiece. You want it to impress when guests are over.
Light use — I just want it to look great Simple lifestyle. You want something that looks good and stays that way with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Most standard edge profiles — pencil, bullnose, bevel, half bullnose — are included in the base fabrication price. The ogee and waterfall involve additional fabrication work, so those are priced separately. We'll give you a clear line-item quote so there are no surprises.



  • Yes — and it's actually a popular choice. A lot of Columbus homeowners do a waterfall on the island and a pencil or bevel on the perimeter counters. We fabricate everything in-house so we can do whatever the design calls for.



  • Pencil, rounded, and beveled edges are the easiest — no deep grooves or curves to collect crumbs. The ogee has more detail, so it takes a bit more attention. If easy cleaning is your priority, we'll steer you toward a simpler profile.




  • Absolutely. We have physical samples of every profile at our showroom at 5767 Westbourne Ave — walk-ins welcome Monday–Friday 8am–5pm, Saturday 10am–2pm. Bring your cabinet sample and we'll help you figure out what looks right together.
