Description

Above: Bevel edge rolled cove countertop. Bevels, borders, wood and other applied edges provide interesting alternatives to the standard self edge.Started in 1958, C. Mather Co. soon earned a reputation for innovation and quality. In the early days of linoleum countertops, Clayton "Chuck" Mather, like other countertop fabricators, would heat and "cove" the linoleum from the countertop deck up the wall. When plastic laminates became the preferred surfacing material, he developed fabrication techniques to create a similar effect and the custom cove rolled countertop became an early Mather trademark.Most countertops of this time were rigid glued in panel sized slabs and cut to shape as needed. The front edge was usually a metal band, called a "snap-on edge" which was applied after the deck had been cut to size. Upon the refinement of contact cement for countertops, fabricators could apply the laminate itself to the front edge of the countertop. This became known as the "self edge" front.
