What makes a waterfall edge different from a standard edge profile?
A standard edge profile (eased, bullnose, ogee) finishes the front edge of the countertop slab. A waterfall edge is a separate full-height slab panel that runs vertically down the side of an island or peninsula from the countertop to the floor, connected to the horizontal surface with a 45-degree mitered joint.
Does the vertical panel have to come from the same slab as the horizontal top?
Ideally yes. Using the same production lot ensures the color and veining are as close as possible across the joint. Because quartz is engineered, the pattern is more consistent than natural stone, but lot variation still exists. Request same-slab cutting from your fabricator during templating.
