Concrete vs. Granite

Design

Concrete offers the greatest design flexibility of any solid surface.  In terms of appearance, there is simply no matching the colors and design flexibility of concrete.  Simply put, you can do anything with it.

Since concrete is poured into the countertop mold as a fluid, it can take on any shape you desire.  From dramatic curves to embeds such as drain boards, sinks, trivets, and knife slots, the design process is limitless.

Color

With granite, you are dealing with a natural stone.  While many colors of granite exist, you are bound by the laws of Mother Nature.  With concrete, the color choices are limitless. We work with the Benjamin Moore Color chart and offer up to 6,400 different colors.  We also can blend colors and create many types of textures and finishes.

Durability

Both granite and concrete are highly durable products that will stand up to nearly any activity.

Maintenance

Granite will require regular maintenance to keep it sealed.  With our concrete sealing system we do not require regularly scheduled maintenance.  Once the concrete is sealed it will last the lifetime of the home if it is properly used. 

Price

Concrete and granite countertops are comparable in terms of price.  Concretes largest advantage is the design flexibility and low maintenance.
