The latest trend in home design has
opened up doors to endless creativity. Who would have thought
it was from concrete, a surface that has been around for
centuries. Concrete countertops are taking
kitchen customization to a whole new level.
When one hears the word "concrete" we often think of plain
gray slabs that form the sidewalks in our neighborhood. But
that's not the case when it comes to the latest trend of
concrete kitchen countertops. Almost every aspect of these
beautiful surfaces can be customized. Concrete counter tops
exhibit subtle variations in color and texture, which
contributes to its beauty. Each slab is handcast so no two will
ever be identical. Hundreds of colors and unique designs can be
created to match your kitchen's color scheme perfectly. And
unlike most other surfaces, there is no limit on the thickness
of the countertop.
The true advantage of using concrete is the unique
creativity that can be incorporated in the design. Most all of
concrete countertops are precast in molds and built to the
customer's specifications. Built-in sinks, drain boards, soap
dishes and trivets are all easily integrated into concrete
kitchen countertops and are often also cast from concrete. You
can add sparkle with aggregates or glass chips, or even
fiber-optic lighting. Some people have included personal
mementos such as bits of broken dishware and bottle fragments.
The possibilities of concrete counter tops are endless.
So, if you are after a look of distinction for your kitchen,
concrete countertops are for you.
