Benefits of Using Concrete for Outdoor Kitchen Countertops

Cast concrete is an excellent choice for an outdoor kitchen. Learn more about the possibilities concrete offers in this Concrete Network video:

Concrete is durable and very versatile and comes in different colors, finishes, and embeds such as stone and glass chips. It can also be cast into a variety of different shapes.

Edge detailing options include grapevine, faux stone, rope-edge, and egg drop. Rope-edge detailing cannot be done in granite.

Concrete offers more color choices, allowing you to match other project work and color-coordinate with the furniture and can be fabricated on site as opposed to granite.

Concrete is also easy to maintain and only requires washing and application of sealer every year to protect the finish.

Lights can be put upside down in the concrete pour to provide undercounter lighting. This is a great way to light your footpath and counters for a great nighttime effect.
