It's the one thing that can make the difference
between a design that works and one that
doesn't - detail. In design, details are
everything. In marble and granite, Rocky
Mountain Stone gives you all the details
to make your job extraordinary. From the
color and finish of natural stone to the
detail of edgework, your combination of
choices is endless.
Edge
details can make a striking and lasting
impression. They should be used to enhance
the overall design of the space. For instance,
if square, straight, clean lines are predominating
in a space, then square, straight edges
should be used on your stonework. The
edges available for this clean look are
2-cm, 4-cm or 6-cm flat polish, 2-cm,
4-cm or 6-cm bevel, or any size of mitred
apron. Square edges and corners can pose
problems in a high traffic area and should
be softened by slightly rounding the corners.
When
you're working with a space filled with
curves and soft corners, it's best to
use rounded edges to tie things together
- like demi bullnose, full bullnose or
a radius edge. These edges can be applied
on straight edges as well as curves. Rounded
edges tend to soften the stone and make
it more functional in high traffic areas,
but will not detract from the design.
Specialty
edges, such as Ogee, Roman and Rocked,
can be used when another material shape
within the area dictates it. Moldings
or trim on cabinets, doors, balstrades,
wood mantles or any other architectural
detail might set the tone of your overall
design. Hearths on a rough stone fireplace
look best with rocked edges while an old
Victorian washbasin call for an Ogee edge.
Edge details can set your project apart,
so be creative and know that whatever
your choice, Rocky Mountain Stone can
deliver it.
