Countertop Edge Profiles at Granite Vision: Choosing the right edge profile transforms the look, feel, and functionality of your natural stone or quartz countertops. From clean standard eased and pencil edges (included with your fabrication) to architectural full bullnose, beveled, elegant ogee, and dramatic mitered waterfall edges, Granite Vision custom-cuts and polishes each edge in-house using CNC diamond tooling at our Woodbridge, VA fabrication center.
