Do It Yourself
DoItYourself.Com is also another website to check out. Their site explains about concrete countertops:

If you suggest a concrete countertop for a new kitchen most people think sidewalks, driveways, and bridge abutments and say yuck. When this wonderfully versatile material is used to make a countertop, the result could not be more different.

A concrete countertop is thin and graceful, not thick and clunky. It's pigmented, and the finish surface is smooth to the touch and polished to a low sheen.

What your concrete countertop would look like in your kitchen will depend on who makes it. Unlike other countertop materials such as plastic laminate or solid surface, which are manufactured by only three or four companies, concrete countertops are made by many small fabricators scattered all over the country.

There are no industry-wide standards to which a fabricator must conform, and no two fabricators make it in the same way.

Visit the DoItYourself.com website located on the right of the page for more information.
