Quartz Countertop Design: Colors, Edges and Thickness

Three choices shape how a quartz countertop looks once it is installed: the color and pattern of the slab, the profile cut into its edge, and its thickness.

The three work together. A strongly veined slab can make an ornate edge look busy, while a plain slab gives a detailed edge room to stand out. Thickness changes how heavy the countertop looks from across the room, and it limits which edge profiles are possible. The guides below take each choice in turn.
