A full bullnose creates a smooth continuous curve, while a half-bullnose rounds the upper portion and leaves the lower edge straighter. Rounded edges are comfortable and generally less vulnerable to sharp corner impacts. Water can sometimes follow the curve beneath the edge rather than dripping directly down, depending on the profile. The style works well in traditional, family-friendly, and high-traffic spaces.
Key considerations
- impact resistance
- comfort
- edge durability
- rounded profile
- full or half bullnose
- family-friendly edge
