There are so many decisions to make when constructing or renovating a house. The kitchen is one of the most important rooms. This is the place where delicious food is created, and families and friends socialize. One aspect of the kitchen is the countertops, which you can get in many different materials. Let’s discuss concrete!
Many people choose concrete countertops because of their upscale and modern look. They are durable and will last for many years. They are pretty easy to clean and maintain.
At the same time, there are some things to be aware of with concrete countertops. Although durable, they can be scratched or chipped. It’s important to use a cutting board instead of cutting directly on them. Don’t use abrasive cleaners or tools on them.
Since they are porous, they do require resealing about once a year with a food-safe sealer. This will help prevent staining and harboring of bacteria. Despite being sealed, there are certain juices that will eat away at the sealer and can stain your countertops. If you spill wine, coffee, vinegar, citrus, or other acidic juices, wipe it up immediately.
