Concrete countertops, are they for you?

Are you looking for countertops that will set your space apart? Perhaps concrete could be the option for you. Concrete countertops have taken over farmhouses in the past few years. It's easy to see why: installing concrete counters is a sure way to infuse your home with a rustic yet industrial feel that's at once trendy and unfussy. So, is concrete all it's cracked up to be? Weigh the pros and cons to see if they’re right for you;

  • Pros

    • Unique countertop selection 


    • Customizable thickness, edges, finishes, and texture

    • Durable material

  • Cons

    • Limiting colour choices; typically, grey with varying speckles and veining 


    • Overtime will “patina” (unlike other engineered stones, concrete can show a unique look from the history of usage and signs of aging)


    • Requires maintenance/sealant, porous material

    • Can be repaired
