Who Chooses Concrete Countertops?
Concrete countertops are a warm natural looking material that corresponds with the popularity of more natural materials like wood, stone, and brick. Chemical stains, coloring pigments, various aggregates, and epoxy coatings can give concrete the look, texture, and feel of quarried stone such as marble, granite, and limestone. From Buddy Rhodes Studio, Inc. Concrete comes into its own. Concrete is not a static material. If you seek a surface that will not evolve or acquire character over time, choose another material. Rather, concrete is what Rhodes calls "high touch." Handmade and tactile, it is influenced by its interaction with the craftsman and eventual user. For the many people who love concrete, the unpredictability is part of its attraction. Veining, texture and color vary, and regular use impacts a warm patina to the surface over time. From Lucioni Arts One of the leading concrete countertop manufacturers in the Seattle area is Marco Lucioni, who owns Lucioni Arts. "The concrete countertop craze is mounting," says Lucioni. Lucioni, an acclaimed Italian artist who moved to the United States 14 years ago, incorporates his artistic background and European culture into his work.
