The detail

How Porcelain Mitered Edge Works

A mitered edge joins two slabs cut at matching angles to form what looks like one thick piece of stone. Porcelain slabs are thin, so a mitered build-up is the way to get a chunky edge or a true waterfall island.

Done well, the joint almost disappears and the pattern carries across the corner. The result depends on cut accuracy, a color-matched bond and good support at the corner.

It is two slabs cut at matching angles and bonded at the corner, so they read as one thick piece of stone.

Porcelain slabs are thin, so mitering is how you get a thick edge or a waterfall side.

A well-made joint is very hard to see. Accurate cuts, a color-matched bond and a polished joint line make the difference.

Yes. We plan the layout so the pattern carries across the joint, and you approve it before cutting. Bookmatched designs work especially well.

It suits islands and visible edges best. A square or eased edge is simpler when the design calls for a thin profile.
