As the use of decorative concrete in and around the home continues to grow, concrete countertops offer another opportunity to use and enjoy this highly versatile material. Concrete can be installed anywhere you would find a regular countertop; in the kitchen, bathroom, or outdoors. What some people can do with concrete is nothing short of amazing.
Many homeowners today are looking for something unique that no one else has or can duplicate. That is exactly what concrete delivers and not just with color, but with shape, texture, and integration of objects in the surface. Each countertop is hand crafted and can be designed in ways that appeal to individuals and fit into the overall theme of the home decor.
The popularity of concrete is not far behind granite and will probably surpass it in the near future, especially as more and more contractors sieze this market niche. Many contractors enjoy showing off thier artistic capabilities and this is a sure way to do it.
Countertops made from concrete are not cheap. Although the material is rather inexpensive, the job can be very labor intense. There is quite a bit of detail that goes into it, from the design, to the formwork, all the way to the final coat of sealer. It can take up to two weeks from start to finish.

Acid stained floors got it started, but countertops are beginning to take the lead in a revolution of interior design by incorporating the beauty and practical value of concrete.
