Waterfall countertops are one of the most sought-after features in kitchen remodeling projects<\/a>. They got their name from the distinctive way the material extends down the sides of the cabinets or island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional countertops with a defined edge, a countertop with a waterfall edge creates a continuous flow all the way to the floor. And the best part? This seamless extension looks excellent in any material you might choose, whether quartz, marble, granite, concrete or even butcher block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
