To Customize or Not to Customize
One of the main benefits of using concrete countertops in your home is the ability to truly customize the look and other aesthetics of your countertops. With concrete, the possibilities for the shape, size and appearance is endless. Instead of searching far and wide for the perfect countertop appearance, you can simply create it with concrete. You can add materials such as glass, pigments, stones and other options to your concrete to create a truly one-of-a-kind look.
When you choose to use granite, you are a bit stuck with whatever natural stone look is available. Although granite does have a wide variety of natural stone appearances, it can be a bit difficult to find the exact look you have been searching for. From Italy to Brazil to other parts of the world, granite appearances will vary. You may have to search far and wide to find the natural stone variation you are looking for.
Durability
