From simple straight edges to the basins, edge profiles are an important part of kitchen worktops. No matter which stone you choose, these popular edges are great options for every kitchen.

 3. Square Edge

 A simple, elegant line, like the square edges gives, is a good choice for minimalistic kitchens.
