What you should know before building a concrete benchtop

11/24/2021

 
While granite, marble, and quartz are popular among designers, concrete is still a great material because it offers flexibility and some creative potential that other options cannot provide. So, if you want something unique and stylish in your kitchen, a custom concrete benchtop is the way to go.

In fact, a concrete benchtop can define the personality of your kitchen. Although other more expensive materials like quartz and granite top the list for most contractors, concrete can be moulded in various sculpture-like forms. You can even embed bits, blots, and ergonomic design elements.

Here are some things to consider before you pour the cement:

Be creative but don’t get crazy
The best thing about concrete is that it is not bounded by limitations, and you can do a lot since concrete can be dyed, poured, and shaped according to your design and taste. In fact, it has this unique quality, and you can get creative when building a concrete benchtop.

Concrete benchtops have many functions
Concrete is very versatile. Designers can be creative and shape it according to what they want to highlight. So, designing a rounded bull-nose benchtop can create a soft contemporary look. They can also mimic a cabinet door frame to set a more classical colonial style.

Builders can also choose to combine concrete with various organic materials like metal and wood as this can provide an industrial feel to your kitchen or your home.
Concrete benchtops can be installed in both affordable and high-end homes
Some high-end homes would use concrete to form a one-of-a-kind benchtop that will stand out among the rest. But unlike other luxury materials such as marble, concrete is more durable and can last up to 30-50 years if it is maintained properly.
Some crafty homeowners, especially those who have concreting experience, can make a low-cost, DIY-concrete slabs which can provide a more modern look to their kitchen. However, it is recommended that you get in touch with an experienced and professional concreting company because they have a team of highly skilled and qualified concreters that can help you achieve the results you are looking for.
