You can have materials embedded in the concrete countertops

Deciding on having concrete countertops installed is just the first of many exciting decisions you may have ahead of you. When you decide to go with concrete countertops, you can also make the decision to have any number of materials embedded to further customize the countertops. Some examples of materials you can have embedded include glass, seashells, stone, and many others. You can work with the design contractor to come up with something that'll be both functional and great looking. 

The concrete can be dyed and stamped

Having materials embedded in the concrete isn't the only thing that can enhance the counters' look. You can also have the concrete dyed to give you countertops in a color that may be more to your liking. For example, you can have the concrete dyed black to match a kitchen decorated in black, red, and silver. The concrete can also be stamped before it has been completely set, to create stylized indentations. 

Concrete countertops come in a variety of styles

Something else to know about concrete countertops is they can complement many styles of kitchens. Concrete countertops can have a rustic design, an industrial design, or many other designs. Some things that can contribute to the countertop's style can include the type of finish the concrete has been given, the shape of the countertops, and the addition of some elements mentioned above. Working closely with the design contractor can ensure you have countertops installed that truly complement the space. 

You will end up with durable countertops 

Concrete is a very strong material that's resistant to some types of damage that can be more common in kitchens. Just a couple of examples of the kinds of damage that the concrete countertops will naturally be resistant to will include scratches and chips. Your concrete countertops will also be sealed to make them stain-resistant, as well as heat-resistant. Additionally, the right sealer will help to give them an even more attractive sheen.
