What is a laminated or bullnose edge?

“Bullnose” is the industry expression describing the finished or polished edge of the stonework.  Since the thickness of most of our slab stone material is ¾”, we can either polish the ¾” edge or laminate another layer to it to increase that thickness to 1½”.  Full-Radius Bullnose is the most popular choice of 1½” laminated or “built-up” edges.  It is fully radiused and rounded, and because of its simplicity is compatible with many decorating styles. There are numerous other laminated edges to match any design style.
