ConcreteNetwork.com has recently updated its concrete countertop mix information to include more up-to-date articles covering the differences between pre-packaged mixes and mixes made from scratch, a guide to buying the proper mix design, concrete countertop basics and more.

Each mix type offers its own set of pros and cons, though the decision will ultimately come down to each contractor's personal preference. The sites guide to buying countertop mixes offers contractors an in-depth look at purchasing the right type of pre-packaged mix.

For contractors starting out in the countertop field, there are several pre-packaged countertop mixes on the market that have been time-tested to produce beautiful and, most importantly, durable countertops. These convenient bagged mixes can often be bought directly from a local materials supplier or a home-improvement retailer. Their main benefit is that they produce consistent, reproducible results time and again.

The site has divided the available pre-packaged mixes into four standard types: minimum-fuss mixes, high-performance mixes, special effects products and customizable mixes.
