It's certainly fitting that the biggest market for concrete countertops is in the kitchen, whether residential or commercial. In many ways, the artisans who make concrete countertops can be compared to creative cooks, often experimenting by combining ingredients in unique ways to liven up the menu or satisfy different tastes.

This passion to innovate is what makes the products of accomplished cooks and countertop makers alike so distinctive and appealing. Yet even the most experimental cook will admit that certain recipes, such as the perfect pie crust, simply shouldn't be messed with because consistency is so essential to good results. Likewise, concrete countertop makers will often insist that the perfect countertop begins with a consistent, proven mix design.
