Concrete Countertop

• Concrete Countertops are popular and on-trend
  nowadays. Concrete countertops are a premium
  alternative to marble, granite, and quartz.
• When compared to more traditional materials,
  concrete countertops have many pros and cons. A
  concrete countertop can be a great addition to a
  kitchen or bathroom if it is planned and put in
  the right way.

Other Materials

• Concrete is one of many traditional materials
  that can be used to make countertops. Quartz
  countertops, granite countertops, and marble
  countertops are the ones that compete with
  concrete countertops the most directly. Each of
  these stone materials is very durable and has a
  classic look.
• Concrete countertops are often made to look like
  these kinds of natural and man-made stones. On
  the other hand, concrete countertops are much
  better than laminate, tile, and synthetic
  countertops, which are less expensive.

Customization

• This is the thing that sells concrete countertops
  the most. A skilled contractor can almost
  certainly make your concrete countertop ideas
  come true.
• Concrete countertops can be made in almost any
  colour or colour combination. The only thing that
  limits the shapes is the way the concrete
  countertops are made. As long as the countertop
  is supported by the structure, there isn't much
  you can't do with its size or layout. With inlays
  and embedded materials, you can make the item
  even more unique.

5
Durability

• When compared to other materials, concrete
  countertops are very durable. As one would expect
  from concrete, they are very strong and don't
  wear down very easily. A concrete countertop
  should last for decades if it is supported and
  reinforced the right way. Concrete countertops
  often have fibres in them. Most concrete
  countertops have glass fibres in them to make
  them stronger and less likely to crack.

Price

• The price of concrete countertops can be both a
  plus and a minus. Most of the time, the cost of
  the most basic concrete countertop designs is
  about the same as that of materials like granite
  and quartz. But the high amount of customization
  and labour needed to make and install concrete
  countertops can quickly make that price go up.
  All of this means that concrete countertops are
  not the cheapest option, even though they can be
  made for a reasonable price.

Speed

• Most of the time, concrete countertops are made
  to order. Few contractors or suppliers will have
  ready-made concrete countertops in stock. This
  means that a concrete countertop won't be put in
  as quickly as one made of another material that
  is already made. Expect the process to take at
  least a few weeks. Most of the time, this is not
  a problem if you can plan ahead. But jobs that
  need to be done quickly shouldn't depend on
  getting a concrete counter.

Maintenance

• For concrete countertops, a sealant is a must.
  Without the right sealer and wax, it's easy for
  stains to get into concrete countertops. Sealers
  aren't usually heat resistant, so it's not a good
  idea to put high heat on a concrete countertop
  unless it's not sealed. A concrete countertop can
  last as long as the sealant is kept up.

Concrete Countertop Design

• Plain concrete countertops and coloured concrete
  countertops are the two main ways to design
  concrete countertops. By choosing one of these
  two options, you choose how things look and feel
  in general. Plain concrete countertops get their
  appeal from the colour and look of the concrete
  itself. Most of the time, these are made with
  simple designs and have an industrial look. But
  you have more choices if you colour the
  countertop.

Concrete Countertop Design

• When you start with a white concrete mix, you can
  make more colours and shades. From there, it's
  easy to add colour to the concrete mix. Powdered
  pigments don't work as well because they don't
  spread as well as liquid pigments. Small
  aggregates and small amounts of mix make it hard
  for powder and granules to spread out and break
  down. When mixing, add the pigment by following
  the instructions on the pigment's package. Use
  stains and dyes to make more colour changes.
  These can be used to add different colours, soft
  marbling, or patterns and designs made with
  stencils.

Concrete Countertop Design

• Once the overall feel is chosen, think about the
  different things you can add to a concrete
  countertop. For more complicated designs, sink
  basins, waterfall edges, textured or "live"
  edges, and materials that are inlaid can be
  added. You can do anything. This level of
  customization is one of the many reasons why
  concrete countertops are so popular compared to
  other materials.
