What Is a Bevel?
Beveling, also known as edge chamfering, is the process of angling or softening sharp corners, primarily to eliminate potentially hazardous edges. When marble edges are left unprocessed, they may remain sharp, chipped, or uneven—posing safety risks and aesthetic inconsistencies in finished applications.
To ensure smooth, safe, and visually appealing surfaces, beveling is applied to the edges of marble pieces after cutting. This process refines the stone’s form, making it more suitable for practical use and elegant integration into various design schemes.
Common Bevel Edge Profiles
-
Standard Bevel (Simple Bevel): A clean 45-degree cut applied to the marble edge. Often preferred in modern and minimalist interiors for its sleek, understated look.
-
Bullnose Bevel: Features a fully rounded edge for a soft, continuous appearance. Ideal for classic and traditional design styles, especially in bathrooms and countertops.
-
Ogee Bevel: Adds an S-shaped curve to the edge, creating a sophisticated and ornamental detail. Frequently used in luxurious and formal interiors.
-
Cove Bevel: Incorporates a C-shaped inward curve, offering a smooth transition and elegant finish. Common in traditional or transitional spaces.
-
Recessed Bevel: The bevel is set inward from the surface, creating a subtle indentation. This profile adds depth and visual interest to contemporary designs.
-
Layered Bevel: Composed of multiple stacked bevel cuts, producing a complex, multi-dimensional look. Best suited for statement pieces or custom architectural features.
