Concrete Worktops
Concrete countertops are similar in cost to granite. With granite the high ticket price is largely due to high raw material costs. With polished concrete worktops the raw material costs are very small with the average kitchen counter requiring less than $10 worth of cement and about the same in aggregates or sand.
Additional coloring agents, bonding agents, steel, reinforcing fibers and admixtures can increase the overall raw material cost but will still be only 10% of the cost of the materials for a granite counter. Learn about the incredible advantage of DIY concrete countertops
