If you did not see what you were looking for, please do not hesitate to ask a customer service professional. Nadim Marble and Granite Inc showroom displays more than 100 granite colors with many options to choose from. Please fax, email, or bring the layout of your cabinets/countertops to Why Not Granite for an estimate.

Edge Selection - Granite countertop edges are available in many shapes and styles. Curves, angles, and lines join together to create a look of simplicity, elegance, or unusual design. When choosing the edge for your countertop you should consider the overall look and style of your kitchen.

Eased or simple straight edge, bullnose, demi bullnose, or half bullnose will fit well in a contemporary kitchen with clean lines and smooth surfaces.
Bevel edge will add a lot of dimension to the overall look of the counter and will make it perfectly finished. It will look great in an Art Deco interior.
If the style of your kitchen is more formal, consider the beautiful ogee, waterfall, or dupont edge.
Choose crescent/pencil, round, or chiseled edge for the comfort and weathered elegance of rustic style.
