Countertops and Furniture
Concrete countertops are a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces. Here's a breakdown of the key benefits:
Concrete is tough and can last for decades with proper care. (Reseal every 5-10 years.)
When sealed, it becomes stain-resistant, repelling common spills like coffee, wine, or oil.
Concrete resists scratches better than softer materials like laminate or wood.
Concrete allows for personalization of shape, color, texture, and finish.
You can embed custom aggregates.
You can create unique edges and forms that aren't possible with pre-fabricated materials.
They provide a modern, industrial, or rustic vibe that can elevate the design of any room.
-
Pros
- Concrete is formed instead of cut, so it can be shaped to fit your needs.
- Concrete can have any colors, etched designs, and multiple patterns.
- Concrete feels like a cool stone in your home, not plastic smooth.
- Hand made, 100% unique, every time
-
Cons
- It takes a month for concrete to cure - wipe up spills quickly, and don't leave objects sitting.
- Concrete should be resealed every 5-10 years to maintain stain resistance. (2-3 years for outdoor pieces)
- Concrete should not be used as a cutting surface. Knives will dull and may scratch surface. Use a board!
- Hot pots and pans should be kept off the surface to maintain sealer integrity.
