Concrete Worktops
February 21st, 2008 peterearthy
Concrete Worktops … are a relatively new entry into the UK kitchen worktop market.
On the face of it they sound a little drab and utilitarian, but in reality they provide a new concept in solid surfaces.
They can be supplied in “pre fabricated” blank lengths (then cut, joined, polished, and waxed in-situ) or poured on site (then hand troweled to a perfect finish).
Guess which is the dearest option?
Concrete Worktops are generally coloured, the colours being more muted than other “natural stone worktops, and have a similar texture and feel to Corian Worktops.
Concrete Worktops are waterproof, alcohol resistant, non-yellowing and anti-microbial as well as having good heat resistance and excellent wear properties.
Concrete Worktops generally are combined with under mounted sink bowls with recessed drainer grooves (as the norm with Granite), but pose no problems with customers wishing to utilise standard inset sinks
As with most “specialist solid” worktops it is advisable to purchase Concrete Worktops from a specialist manufacturer - that will template prior to manufacture and installation.
We Say … No other worktop presents you with the opportunity of having a matching patio!
