Section 01 The materials

Four stones. One workshop.

Every counter starts with the slab. Here's what we fabricate, what each stone is best suited for, and what to expect from price and care.

Section 04 Edge profiles

The edge changes the room.

Six profiles we cut in-house at our Charlotte shop. Pick by feel — modern, classic, family-safe or full statement.

Eased

Square with softened top

The clean, contemporary default. Slightly rounded top edge prevents chipping. Reads modern in any kitchen.

Most popular

Beveled

Angled 45° chamfer

A crisp 45-degree cut along the top edge. Adds a small architectural detail without going ornate.

Designer favorite

Bullnose

Full half-round

Top and bottom edges meet in a single radius. Family-friendly — no sharp corners for children or hips.

Family kitchens

Ogee

Classic S-curve profile

Concave top flowing into convex below. The choice for traditional and transitional kitchen designs.

Traditional

Mitre · 1.5″

Built-up thick edge

Two pieces joined at 45° to create the look of a 1.5″ thick slab. Premium feel for islands and bars.

Statement islands

Waterfall

Slab continues to the floor

The slab face cascades down the island side to the floor. Architectural, high-impact, bookmatched.

Modern luxury
