Different Styles Of Concrete Countertops

When people think about concrete countertops, the first image that comes to mind is the gray slab of featureless stone that looks like a block of the neighborhood sidewalk placed on top of their beautiful cabinets.

concrete countertops made out of grey, bland slabs of concrete can be purchased for the home, there are many other concrete countertop designs available as well that may be more appealing to the homeowner looking for a new countertop.


One type of concrete countertop that could be a beautiful addition to any home is the veined concrete countertop. These countertops have colored or white veins running through the concrete, giving the countertop the appearance of marble stone.


Another type of concrete countertop that homeowners may be interested in is a terrazzo concrete countertop. These concrete countertops contain small chips of glass or colored stone to create a lovely textured appearance in the surface of the concrete and pigments can be added to the concrete to change the color of the concrete and create a more dramatic look for the home.

Concrete countertops can be created to resemble many different types of natural stone, including granite and limestone. Each of these different types of concrete countertops can also be customized by choosing different edging styles to accompany the countertop style.
