EDGE TREATMENTS
Hand Tooled for Old World Charm
In addition to the standard flamed edge, we offer a variety of other hand crafted edges for our thermal treads and coping.
Custom edge treatments can create unique finishing touches on any project such as pool & spa coping, steps, hearths, pier/ wall caps, etc.
We do not offer exposed edge treatments on natural cleft paving (thermal material only).
Flamed Edge
The flamed edge is our standard edge treatment. This edge is cut 90 degrees from the face of the stone and is torched to give the stone a more natural look instead of a sawn edge, which can show saw marks and other imperfections. The flamed edge is the same, matching finish as the top surface of the treads. Flamed edges are sometimes also referred to as “thermal” edges.
Rocked Edge
The rocked edge is an edge detail where both the top and bottom of the desired dressed edges are chiseled by hand to give the stone a more distinct, rustic appearance. This edge treatment is a centuries old technique that provides a hand cut natural feel where this look is desired. This is also sometimes referred to as a “rockface” edge.
Full Bullnose
Our full bullnose edge treatment is another option for those who desire a rounded- over edge. This edge is thermal treated after being rounded on the top and bottom of the stone. This edge treatment is commonly used on pool and spa coping to create a more formal appearance.
3/4″ Radius Round-Over
Unlike a full bullnose, the 3/4″ radius detail is rounded-over only on the top portion of the edge creating a softened look for any project. This treatment is perfect for pool & spa coping, benches, counter-tops, etc. as it is more comfortable for sitting than other edge treatments with sharp or pointed edges. We also offer many variations (1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, etc.) of this edge rounding to suit your project’s requirements.
DuPont Edge
The DuPont edge is essentially a ¾” radius round-over depressed into the stone. Unlike other edge treatments, after the DuPont edge is fabricated, it is left with a diamond rubbed finish and not re-flamed. It is used for more formal applications or in combination with other edge treatments.
Cove DuPont Edge
The Cove DuPont is an elegant edge detail and is the most ornate treatment we offer. This edge gives a sophisticated look to any project. Quite popular for hearths, mantels, pier caps, etc., the Cove DuPont edge has a series of interesting impressions in the edge profile producing a look of timeless elegance.
