Thinner slabs keep a lighter line on furniture and cladding; thicker ones carry an island or a long unsupported run.
Countertops designed
for tactile enjoyment
Every finish we offer on Black Obsidian keeps the same technical performance — stain, scratch and heat resistance are a property of the material, not the surface treatment. What changes is how the colour reads and how the slab feels underhand.
Choose a polish for depth and reflection, a honed or matte surface for calm and no glare, or a textured finish where touch matters as much as looks.
The versatility
of detail
Black Obsidian carries its pattern through the full thickness of the slab, so an edge profile cuts into continuous material rather than breaking a printed surface. Any profile can be worked without losing the pattern.
Rounded, half-round, ogee, bevelled and mitred are the profiles we cut most often. Edge work is done by the fabricator against your template — talk to a certified installer before committing.
- Straight (Eased)
- A square edge with the arris just taken off. The quietest profile, and the one that suits a minimal, modern kitchen best.
- Bevelled
- A flat chamfer cut along the top arris, usually at 45 degrees. Catches a highlight along its length and reads crisper than a square edge.
- Rounded (Bullnose)
- The full edge turned to a single radius. Soft to lean against and the most forgiving profile in a family kitchen.
- Half-round (Demi-bullnose)
- Only the top arris rounded, leaving the underside square. Softer than eased without losing the slab's visual thickness.
- Ogee
- An S-curve cut into the face. The most decorative profile we cut, and the natural partner to a traditional or classical kitchen.
- Mitred
- Two pieces joined at 45 degrees to fake a thicker slab. How a 20 mm top is made to read as 40, 60 or 100 mm at the edge.
