Trendy, chic, and versatile, concrete countertops continue to be incredibly popular. They can be customized in all kinds of different ways, making it easy to find just the right fit for your unique aesthetic.
Concrete is incredibly hard, so with proper maintenance, you can enjoy your concrete countertop for many, many years.
It’s also fairly scratch-resistant, so don’t worry too much about dishes, silverware, and other common kitchen items leaving superficial scratches as you go about your day.
There are a few ways to sand concrete to buff out imperfections. Plus, if you do see a scratch, chances are it’s the seal that’s scratched rather than the concrete itself, so you can usually fix it simply by applying more sealant.
In addition to coming in different colors and styles, concrete can be poured to fit any shape. So, if you have a super unique countertop layout or small nooks and crevices you want to fill, concrete is a great choice.
A lot of kitchen countertop materials, such as wood, don’t stand up well to high heat, so homeowners often need to put down a trivet before placing a hot pot or pan on the countertop.
But concrete is highly heat-resistant, so you can transfer a hot pan from the stove directly to the surface without fear of damaging your beautiful new counters.
