I Am Thinking About Doing My Kitchen With The New Counter Top System Of Using Concreat. Does Anyone Here Have Any Clue On How It Is Done? Also About The Colors And Finishes That Can Be Used To Get A Great Upscale Look In The Kitchen. I Want To Do This In The Winter Months. I Have The Time Now To Do It. So If Anyone Can Point Me In The Right Direction, Please Do. I Have Been A Finish Carpenter For Over 30 Years And Have Done Corian Counter Tops Along With Many Formica Tops. This Will Be A New Experiance For Me And I Am Looking Forward To Doing It.

Me and the wife originally wanted concrete as well but was told they are prone to cracking. We went with Expo grey Silestone instead. I'll try to get some pics.

I just installed a concrete counter in my kitchen last month,I would recommend the company Buddy Rhodes they just came out with a great video.There are a few ways to complete the task but if you are little handy there should be no problem.The tops need to be sealed to resist stains,but the possibilities of designs far exceed that of granite or corian.good luck b
