Grothouse Wood Countertops with Expanded Corners
Expanded Corners are a popular feature for Wood Kitchen Island Countertops. Clients with a refined taste typically choose wood countertops with expanded corners for their cultivated kitchen designs. This feature can only be accomplished at the hands of the most skilled craftsmen.
This feature is typically added to wood countertops to accent a decorative corner corbel or post. When combined with a decorative edge profile, this feature provides visual interest and texture to the kitchen design.
Designing a Wood Countertop with Expanded Corners
Expanded corners can be crafted with any edge profile. The vertical edges of the corners can be rounded to soften the appearance, or left square to enhance the crisp edge details.
Edge profiles continue seamlessly throughout the entire perimeter of the countertop. The ending result is an impressive architectural detail that brings an air of elegance to your custom wood countertop.
Designing wood countertops with expanded corners require careful consideration to the dimensions. Typically they follow the same overhang as the balance of the countertop.
