Pros of Concrete Benchtops

There are several advantages to choosing concrete as your benchtop material. Concrete is a durable, low-maintenance material that can withstand the elements. It has a long lifespan, and it’s even a more environmentally friendly choice.

Looks Great and Won't Fade

One of the most significant advantages of concrete benchtops is that they don’t fade or discolour. This means that your new countertops will look as good in 10 years as they do now.

Moisture Resistant

Concrete is excellent at resisting moisture damage, making it ideal for areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms where there is lots of water. Concrete can also withstand high temperatures and extreme weather conditions, which makes it perfect for outdoor use. This is especially beneficial if you live in an area with extreme heat or humidity.

A Wide Range of Colours and Finishes

Concrete also comes in various shades such as white, grey, or brown, and you can even add colour pigments to give it a more vibrant look if you want. It’s easy to match your kitchen décor, whether rustic or modern.

Durable & Easy to Maintain

Concrete kitchen benchtops are highly durable and will last a lifetime with proper maintenance. They require little more than occasional cleaning with soap and water or mild detergent. The surface can be finished with a penetrating sealer that will help protect against stains and water damage.

Cons of Concrete Benchtops

Concrete is a material that is highly durable and can be used in both commercial and residential settings. Still, it’s not free of some downsides, pertaining mostly to weight and ease of installation.

Concrete is Usually Heavy

The first con of concrete countertops is that they are heavy. They can be up to 30% heavier than other materials such as granite or marble. This means that they will be challenging to install if you’re doing it yourself. Additionally, support is needed to prevent damage to cabinets, depending on the thickness of your benchtop. However, one can always opt for glass fibre reinforced concrete, which is much lighter.

Can Crack if Installed Incorrectly

Factors like faulty installation, improper curing, or poorly mixed concrete can cause your benchtop to crack. It’s for this reason that concrete benchtop installation should not be a DIY pursuit and is best left at the hands of a professional.
