Worktop options and profiles

We offer a wide range of worktop options and profiles.

Our typical profiles are shown below

Bevelled profile

A bevelled edge profile offers a square flat face with the 45 Degrees cut from the front to the top edge on the worktop. Bevels are 45-degree cuts into the edge of the stone. The deeper the cut, the wider the bevel face is. 

Double pencil round profile

The Double Pencil edge profile has a continuous curve from the worktop surface to the worktop edge and ensures any sharpness is removed from the edge profile which helps protect the worktop from day-to-day bumps and knocks.

Ogee profile

An 'S' shaped curve edge worktop profile often used in conjunction with more traditional designs in both bathroom vanities and kitchen worktops. Ogee is used to achieve a more traditional look. 

Full bullnose profile

Fully-rounded stone worktop edge profile often used for bathroom vanities but also traditional looking kitchen worktops.

Half bullnose profile

Similar to the full bullnose edge profile but rounded to the top only with a slight radius to provide a soft appearance to the stone worktop.

Dupont profile

The Dupont edge has a short 90-degree angle that extends down into a rounded edge for a profile that is a bold variation of the ogee design. It can draw attention to the already beautiful granite or marble worktop.

Polished cut-out

Polished cut-out for an undermounted sink. Cut-outs can be any shape and will be cut according to the sink manufacture's template unless otherwise requested.

Tap hole

Tap holes can be cut into the worksurface to accommodate the tap. The majority of mono-block taps require a 35mm hole with the majority of bridge taps requiring a 25mm hole. The tap manufacture's installation manual should state the hole size required.

Straight drainer grooves

Drainer grooves can be cut and polished into the surface of the granite sloping down to the sink to facilitate drainage. 5 grooves are standard per set however you can as many as you require.

Unpolished cut-out

Unpolished cut-outs can be made for hobs and inset sinks. The unpolished cut-out can also be applied for shaped sinks making it ideal for granite kitchen worktops. Sometimes if a worktop is too long to cut in one piece we may use slips to form the aperture.

Upstands

Upstands are highly advised. Not only do they finish the worktops off, they help cover inevitable discrepancies in the walls. As the upstands provide a waterproof barrier at the back of the worksurface there is not need to tile above unless required. The standard height of upstands are 75mm but they can be higher or lower as desired.

Cladding

Cladding is similar to upstands but usually goes up to the underside of the wall units.

Backsplash

Backsplashes are not only look fantastic but are practical as they protect the wall behind the cooker from splashes. Backsplashes can be rectangular or curved and shaped according to your design.

Window sill

A granite window sill will match perfectly with your worksurfaces bringing the whole look together. This is also a practical option as granite will not fade in sunlight or warp if it gets damp from condensation.
