Guatemalan serpentine in a contemporary beveled edge profile. The deep emerald green field with white veining framed by 45-degree beveled edges produces one of the most distinctive contemporary cased openings in our catalogue.
The Beveled Edge profile cuts a 45-degree chamfer along the outer edges of the marble surround. Standard bevel is 1/2 inch deep; custom depths available. The chamfer catches light differently than a flush edge, creating subtle highlights along the bevel line that animate the surround as the viewing angle changes.
For Verde Guatemala specifically, the beveled edge profile is particularly effective because the stone's harder serpentinite chemistry holds the bevel cleanly without micro-fracturing at the chamfer. The same profile in a softer calcium carbonate marble (like Carrara) requires more delicate fabrication to achieve the same crispness.

Verde Guatemala lead times can stretch during periods of strong demand because Guatemalan production volumes are smaller than Italian quarry output. We hold working inventory of standard-grade material; premium-grade specifications typically require 8-14 weeks from order to install. We coordinate slab confirmation early in the project schedule.
Pietra fabricates and installs Verde Guatemala beveled edge cased openings across the GTA and ships finished pieces Canada-wide. See how we work and ship across Canada for the complete process.
