A mitered edge is when two pieces of stone (usually the countertop and the front “apron” or side panel) are cut at a 45-degree angle and seamlessly joined together. This creates the illusion of a thick, solid slab, often 2–4 inches thick or more—without actually using that much material.

  • 🔹 Why it’s used: To create a bold, chunky look—especially in contemporary kitchens.
  • 🔹 Where it’s used: On island overhangs, waterfall edges, or to match the thickness of custom cabinetry.
