Concrete countertops offer a truly unique look and feel with amazing durability. No two countertops will ever be exactly the same because with use your countertop will acquire its own natural finish. The strength and versatility of the concrete makes it ideal for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, bar and desk tops and even outdoor kitchens. Concrete is a porous material, and staining can occur if it is not sealed. The surface is very hard and does not scratch easily, however hairline cracks can occur in the surface. These are non-structural flaws and are considered to be part of the character and appeal of using the material. Like with granite and quartz countertops, seams will be visible.
