As long as your concrete countertop is properly sealed, it should be as easy to clean as a laminated countertop surface. As a general rule, use a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid the use of aggressive scrubbing pads or abrasive cleansers that can wear away the sealer. See these concrete countertop stain removal tips.
Concrete is one of the greenest, most environmentally friendly materials on Earth. Make Sure Your Countertops Are Made in a Green Manner: Other strategies for protecting the environment include reusing molds and form making materials, using water-based products, reclaiming and recycling water, and more.
Both granite and concrete are more heat-resistant than laminate countertops or even surfaces such as quartz. Sealed granite is much more heat-resistant than sealed concrete.
Depending on the exact size and design of your countertops, you can achieve a smooth seamless concrete surface. Concrete countertops are easy to clean as long as they’ve been installed and sealed properly.
Because concrete countertops are made from scratch, you can choose from a wide range of finishes, from mirror smooth to stone-like textures. If you want to achieve an ultra-smooth, seamless surface, then polishing or sanding the concrete after it’s cast is the best approach.
People love concrete countertops because they look amazing, wear well, are easy to clean and maintain, are strong and durable, and last a long time. In addition, colors and textures are used to create one-of-a-kind countertop designs.
Fresh concrete is highly alkaline and can burn skin. Some pigments and acid stains contain heavy metals. The waste from these products is hazardous to the environment. Some products available to seal concrete contain solvents that are not safe for food preparation.
Corian Solid Surface Review. Corian countertops are a specific brand made and marketed under the DuPont name, but they may as well be synonymous with ‘solid surface’ countertops. They’re one of the most popular brands and they’re often pushed as being as good as, or better, than natural stones like granite or marble.
Yes, granite can stain, but so can Corian. Corian never needs sealing. Both materials are essentially nonporous and are considered highly hygienic surfaces and easy to keep clean (unlike grout lines in tile, for example).
