In the last few years, concrete countertops and tabletops have become very popular items.  They are prized for their warm, handcrafted feel.  Concrete is an extremely versatile material, so a concrete countertop can range from a very rustic piece to a very refined one, depending upon the client's tastes.  A concrete top can have a flat, uniform color or a mottled and variegated one.  In short, a concrete top can resemble anything the customer wishes.

    Although they look beautiful, concrete tops are not for everyone.  Because each one is painstakingly hand crafted, they can rival other types of custom countertops in cost.  Also, because concrete is a more natural surface, it requires a bit more maintenance than a manufactured top of formica or corian.   With proper care, concrete countertops can provide a lifetime of use and enjoyment.
