Concrete Countertops
Concrete countertops are a tough yet attractive alternative to stone. Concrete is as durable as quartz and granite, but offers more flexibility in design. You can texturize and color it as well as applying custom edge details. Concrete countertops can be cast in a shop or made on site. The material gets sealed with epoxy and cleans up easily with non-abrasive, non-ammonia cleansers and soft pads. The costs for concrete countertops (installed) range from $65 to $125 per square foot.
