Modern Minimalism with Concrete Countertops in Austin, TX
Concrete countertops are a unique option with a distinct look that blends a modern, industrial look for the organic warmth of a classic material. But before you jump into committing to concrete, we believe it’s important to understand the complexities of this material.
Installing a concrete countertop is a labor-intensive process. We cast, pour, and finish each countertop on-site in your home or business. This process is not for everyone. In fact, if you remain undeterred by concrete’s complications, then you’re probably up for the challenge!
First off, concrete must be cured before it can be touched or used as a countertop. Sometimes this process can take up to a month before it can then be sealed. Concrete will weather and wear and take on a life of its own. This is perfect if you’re looking for an organic, rustic feel.
Finally, the sealing of concrete countertops is another process which must occur at just the right time. Unlike other types of countertops that homeowners can seal themselves, concrete needs to be professionally applied.
Indeed, concrete can make for a strikingly gorgeous countertop, rich with personality and natural variations. But it’s best to understand the process and know what you are committing to so you can know what to expect from a concrete countertop installation. Have questions?
