While designers often tout the benefits of quartz, granite, solid surface and laminate, one unique material is often overlooked. But concrete has seen a surge of interest in recent years, gaining attention for its flexibility, versatility and natural beauty – as well as its ability to be forged into a virtually limitless array of one-of-a-kind designs. Concrete can add interest to the kitchen or bath through myriad shapes, sizes, colors and textures.
Concrete counters will cost you less and last forever. Once the concrete has been cured and sealed, your counters are likely to outlast your house! And to top it off, concrete is typically a much less expensive way to get amazing custom countertops when compared to marble, granite and even some laminates.
Consider the common applications of concrete ‒ it withstands the heavy-duty needs of parking lots and outside footpaths. It is so low maintenance, perfect for the kitchen. All it will require is a reseal every couple of years.
Heat resistance is non-negotiable for the kitchen. When properly sealed with heat resistant materials, concrete can withstand the heat from cooking, such as roasting trays straight from the oven, much better than more traditional countertops made of other materials.
Often, when using other types of stone, you are tied to specific shapes, sizes and considerations due to the limitations of the stone. This is not the case with concrete, as countertops can be custom-made to fit your kitchen layout perfectly.
