Nashville Concrete Experts have the ability to infuse both beauty and functionality to create concrete countertops. Our concrete contractors can create incredibly durable and easy-to-maintain concrete countertops that complement your house.

Why Do We Use Concrete In Countertops?

Concrete is a popular material used for any outdoor project, such as driveways, steps, patios, porches, barbeques, and concrete countertops. They are weather-resistant and are able to withstand any extreme and harsh weather conditions, from heat and freezing.

Other concrete countertops materials like tile and granite are not able to do the same. The features of concrete also allow for easy cleaning because of their lack of grout lines in the design. 

Concrete gives you the option to customize the look and the style of your countertop through the process of stamping and coloring. The look of other materials can be replicated and created while still providing the durability of concrete.

The design, shape, size, and color can be easily changed to fit your needs. A concrete countertop can also give a more natural look and texture compared to one that may be manufactured.

There is a lot of room for customization to create a design that is aesthetically captivating for your kitchen. Our concrete countertop is famous for doing just that.

How Do We Create Perfect Concrete Countertops?

The concrete mix is made of sand and comen at a ratio of 3:1. The color varies depending on the design that may be chosen for the project. The concrete countertops are permanently sealed, so they become non-porous and resistant to heat and stains. Further, we pour the concrete intricately to reduce air bubbles in your new countertop.

The making and transportation of cement can leave a large carbon footprint that can negatively impact the environment. In order to reduce the environmental damage, recycling pieces that were produced locally can be utilized.

To ensure that the weight and size of the smooth countertop are correct, we take careful measurements in the concrete countertops. This is important to prevent unnecessary material waste. If the concrete mixture for the concrete countertops was not created with the right proportions, then issues may emerge later on.

Hairline cracks may develop, and it can lead to further damage to the entire concrete countertop if the steps are not taken to repair and prevent it.

A concrete countertops fabricator can be used to prevent your countertop from cracking. Common fabricators that are used are wire mesh, rebar, or fiber reinforcements. Wire mesh increases the strength of the concrete and durability. It is the position in the middle of the concrete countertops to provide steel reinforcement.

Fiber mesh is made up of fibrous materials and is distributed evenly throughout the mixture. It is made to improve the structure and increase impact resistance. Different fabricators are needed for different situations.

Our general contractors can provide the consultation as to which is the option that is better suited for your concrete countertops requirement.
