Concrete kitchen countertops are a perfect pick if you are looking for an almost limitless supply of colors and patterns.  The ability to make almost any shape or pattern is another huge selling point when it comes to this type of countertop choice.  On top of the different colors, which are almost without end you can combine concrete with either glass or marble to make a awe-inspiring look that will make your kitchen a one of a kind among family and friends. 

Concrete is made by mixing cement aggregates, colors, fillers, and acrylic material and then poured over a reinforced material to form the shape.  After that it is polished and ready to be sealed.  Concrete is a porous surface so it must be sealed properly, and resealed periodically, to keep it looking like the day you bought it. 

Concrete kitchen counter tops can either be prefabricated or done on site depending on what exactly you are looking for.  Prefabricated offers less options then the on-site ones but also cost a good deal less than its counterpart.  Either way you can get a variety of edges, corners, and other types of fabrication done to it before it is done.  Also because it is cast from a mold you can get the concrete with everything from sinks to cutting boards built into it which gives the countertop a nice flow and uniformity. 

Pros:
-{Almost limitless amount of colors, patters, and designs available to you|Amount of colors, patterns and designs is almost limitless}
-Strong and resilient
-Long lasting (concrete kitchen countertops can last for decades with proper maintenance)

Cons:
-Cost
-Can scold if hot pots are placed on the countertop (this can be avoided by putting pot holders down first)
-Can also crack if not treated regularly

The cost of concrete kitchen countertops are pretty steep, $50-60 for the prefabricated ones and $160-170 a square foot for the on-site ones with all of the bells and whistles.  This initial cost is much higher then most other countertop options but once you have them you will realize why they are worth every penny.  If a one-of-a-kind look combined with functionality concrete kitchen counters are a perfect choice for you and your family.
