I have to pick an edge finish for the granite countertop in the bathroom (this is just an example, and not the stone I chose). We have a version of the first one in the kitchen. You can get others, but these are the ones that are included. Other profiles cost money, and I’ve spent enough money.

Rounded. Bathroom floors can be slippery.

yea i’d go rounded w/ Benn454. Less ouch when you hit something on it.

That sounds like a non sequitur to me....

Personally i would go with the second one in the pic with the rounded top edge .

2nd one, it’s simple and works. No need for anything more.

first one for sure Full radius all the way.

I think he means that if you slip and hit your head on an edge, better for it to at least not be a sharp one.

Okay, I get it now.

Far left. That’s what I chose for my kitchen.

I think it’s because if you slip on the floor and hit your arm - or worse, head - on the edge, it’ll hurt less if it’s round not sharp. That said, we have the sharp corners and haven’t died yet.

Thanks. I’m a bit slow today, but figured it out eventually.

I cannot stand number 2. I would go with 3 personally.

I like the look of the square, but I would probably go with #2 from the left. This is what the owner installed in my place and it’s pretty nice to rest your hand on this rounded surface. Something that I do pretty often.

I’m no fan of 2, but it seems to be the popular choice so far. I was leaning towards 1. We have a similar finish to our kitchen countertop.

We picked #3 for our quartz in the kitchen and would never consider anything else.

I say go for #2.

But this is a bathroom. Does that make a difference?

3 will be the most timeless design. 2 is functionally the best — least likely to chip in an obvious spot due to lack of sharp edges.
![]() 04/30/2019 at 14:37 |

No. 1.
3 seems popular but it looks too harsh to me. 2 reminds me too much of Formica/laminate countertops. 1 seems like a nice blend.

2 just feels dated to me. I was leaning towards 1. This is the piece of granite we are using. The small tiles are accents for the recessed niche over the tub.

#3 all day, baby!

3 for me. Really not a fan of 2.
![]() 04/30/2019 at 14:41 |

You see, I agree about 2. It feels like my old formica kitchen, and looks dated to me. No. 1 seems like a good middle ground between 2 and 3.

I don’t like 2. Seems dated to me.

I don’t think you can go wrong with 1 or 3. They’re both like window casings or door frames — stuff you never really notice as long as they’re not obnoxious.
We have 2 in a bathroom and it works well but I’d never do it again. Simple reason is that it looks too much like faux-granite laminate with that rounded edge.

#1 for consistency

3

3 looks the best. Just don't slip

1/3 but it depends on color...

The big sheet. The other is accent tile for the shower niche.

1, I was consulted to do this one as it’s the hardest of them to damage. 2 and 3 will chip easier on the hard corners. Plus it looks the most finished.

2.
1. Looks great but allows things to run under the counter, making a mess later.
3. Looks like hell.
2. Give you the nice rounded look with the abrupt cutoff at the bottom to keep things from running under.
After having all three at some point in our lives, number #2 gives you the best combo of timeless looks and function.

I like this. Thanks.

Our last countertop was style #1, it was only about 2 years old, but the cupboards under it were rotted from water running under.

We have #3 in our bathrooms, laundry room, and kitchen. Really like it and Would pick it again almost 5 years later.
![]() 04/30/2019 at 16:44 |

For me, no. I care about the looks and #3 is the cleanest looking.
![]() 04/30/2019 at 16:54 |

Yeah 2 probably the least problems and looks nice.
![]() 04/30/2019 at 17:53 |

1 works with your color 3 with a solid color...
![]() 04/30/2019 at 22:11 |

I would go with 1 or 2, sharp edges are going to chip easier.

We got granite in our kitchen and, given a do-over, I’m not certain I would do again. Not without looking at alternatives, anyhow. My chief complaint is that liquid can freely run right off the front edge of the counter.
