You can make any countertop that is natural stone or quartz look thicker by doing a miter edge. You can also laminate or "stack" the edge, but then you seam lines in the edge. The miter edge just has a small seam in the corner that can be polished and is generally inconspicuous. It also lets any gaining or movement in the slab wrap down the edge.
