A concrete countertop has many virtues, especially its ability to be shaped and formed to exactly match your kitchen dimensions and finished precisely to your liking.
With other countertop materials, you are often limited to whatever colors and styles are available, but concrete offers you a wider range of options. Only ceramic tile comes close to offering a comparable range of choices.
While concrete is not scratch-proof, it does resist scratches remarkably well, especially when compared to softer counter materials such as solid surface or laminate.
Concrete, too, can be customized by the addition of small items pressed into the top surface. Glass fragments, stones, shells, and even fiber-optic lights can be embedded.
In the right house, concrete countertops can improve the house’s resale value since it is considered to be a premium material, on par with quartz or natural stone counters.
When choosing the style, color, and finish of your concrete counters, it’s important to consider the overall style of your home, other colors used within the space, the look of the flooring and cabinets already installed in the kitchen, and the impact you want the counters to bring into the room.
