The popularity of concrete kitchen countertops is on the rise, relegating granite and other more common kitchen surfaces to design has-beens. There is no other kitchen surface material as unique and customizable as concrete. Unlimited by color, size and shape, concrete kitchen countertops provide freedom of design, artistic potential and architectural versatility.
Featured in high end homes and restaurants, concrete surfaces appeal to the consumer looking for a one-of-a-kind product. Concrete is the most unique and personal countertop option because it is handcrafted for each client.
Unlike granite, a concrete kitchen countertop is built on site to create a seamless and monolithic surface. This enables the fabricator to work within each kitchen's unique design idiosyncrasies. The fabrication process takes from one to two weeks from start to finish with the end result being a beautiful, custom, handmade and individual product.
Concrete kitchen surfaces exhibit subtle variations in color and texture, which most people feel, contribute to its beauty. Each slab is hand cast so none will be identical. The color options are unlimited, so each concrete surface can be made to enhance the overall design and color scheme of the kitchen.
The two finishes available are the hard trowelled look and the ground look. The hard trowelled look has variations in the finish caused by the trowelling process while the ground look is achieved by grinding the trowelled surface to expose the aggregate.
Concrete kitchen countertops are giving granite a run for its money as the premiere kitchen surface material. From old world elegance to modern sophistication, concrete surfaces work with every design inspiration and are the most luxurious kitchen countertop choice available.
