Comparison of Concrete Countertops
To Other Common Materials

 

Concrete offers unparalleled design options while maintaining the strength and durability of a superior product. Concrete goes beyond other commonplace materials in design choices for shape, color, thickness, inlays, fiber optics, and more. Crafted by an artisan in El Paso, TX, rather than mass produced in a factory someplace else, Creative Concrete Xpression’s countertops are made from scratch to suit the individual tastes of each customer.  

Whether it is an indoor kitchen countertop, outdoor bar, bathroom vanity, fireplace surround, or even end tables or a coffee table for the living room, concrete surpasses the possibilities of traditional building materials. Perfect for a variety of uses, concrete is affordable, is much more customizable, is comparable in weight, and is more eco-friendly than other solid surface countertop material.

Comparison

Color:

The color palette is almost endless with concrete countertops. Customers can coordinate colors in different rooms bringing a harmonious design to their living space. Some traditional materials can’t even be adequately matched to themselves let alone matching grandma’s quilt. Creative Concrete Xpressions can custom mix colors plus add aggregates, recycled glass, sea shells, etc, to create a unique custom color just for you. Granite, synthetics, tile, laminates, and quartz come in natural or factory colors.

Shapes:

With concrete there can be any variety of shape designs for countertops, tables, restaurant bars, etc. Entry ways into a home or building would create a size limitation. Concrete can be cast into the design you desire. Granite, synthetics, tile, laminates, and quartz do not have the design freedom of concrete.

Edges:

Creative Concrete Xpressions offers many edge options including beveled, rope designs, rock, etc. Custom edges can also be created, and fiber optics can make the edges of your design glow. Granite, synthetics, tile, laminates, and quartz do not have this design element.

Inlays:

Embedding a logo or otherwise personalizing a concrete countertop, table, etc., can be easily accomplished. Inlays are a specific design element that adds a custom look unobtainable with granite, marble, synthetics, tile, laminates, or quartz.

Aging:

As the common material gets older they show their age. Concrete on the other hand evolves and develops a warm patina just as a valued antique does.

Sealers:

Creative Concrete Xpressions uses a high strength sealer that lasts up to 10 years. Our sealer is safe for both indoor and outdoor use and is an ecological green product with Volatile Organic Compounds. Due to its porous nature, Granite is a magnet for germs. Granite countertops should be resealed every year. Countertops made from tile, synthetic surfaces, laminates, or engineered quartz do not need to be sealed.
