Advantages of Concrete

A concrete countertop can be customized to fit any style or need.
Some of the major advantages are....

  • Has substance and mass, permanence and warmth.
  • Feel earthy and are at home in both traditional and modern settings
  • Utilize the “material of choice” among high-end designers and architects
  • Uniquely offer endless sculptural possibilities unavailable with granite or marble
  • Every casting is custom made and thus inherently unique. No one else will have a countertop like yours.
  • Concrete is an extremely durable surface.
  • We reduce the effects of staining by applying a penetrating sealer and topical wax.
  • Easy Clean up. Countertops can be cleaned with a mild nonabrasive soap and rinsed with water
  • Our countertops possess a compressive strength of between 6,000 and 8,000 PSI. However, we do not recommend that you place hot pans directly on the surface because it will affect the wax that is buffed onto the surface. An excellent solution is to incorporate granite / stone on metal inlays around hand use areas for placing hot pans upon.
  • Concrete is a naturally porous material and in an unsealed state can easily stain. However, cutting directly on the surface will affect the durability of the applied sealant, making it susceptible to stains. The best alternative is to use a cutting board to protect your cutlery and your countertops.
